Just to clarify - and sorry if this is kind of OT, when you say "1000hp" I'm assuming you mean at the fly wheel?   A GTX4294R sits in a weird place between being arguably quite a bit too small for 1000hp @ wheels on a Dyno Dynamics, and there being much smaller/more responsive turbos that would go past that power at the crank as well.
I'm assuming that the actual aim is to run to the limit of the GTX4294R?

100% correct.

I see and hear all sorts of figures. From 650hp all out to 1100hp. I am sure it will be stupid fast no matter what.

Considering the "relatively low" RPM limit here which is 8000RPM, would it need a 270/280/290 degree shaft? A GTX 4294 is no GTX55 or something outrageous.

Considering it's a street car, I'd err on the side of "less is more" here if idle quality and all the rest of the things that make a nice streeter is important.

Exactly..put some 260s somethings in it..and enjoy the f**kin thing...

I have some Kelford split duration 274's that were a bit too big for my set up but perfect for yours if you are interested?

were they the 182-S cams (274/10.8mm)?

Im interested in what you mean by too big, as in the powerband was a bit too late for the turbo you were running? i cant remember if you've got a 6262 or 6466?

JHH and kelford recommended them to me running a 2.6L with an 8374 on E85.

Yes 182-S

Power band shifter too far right for me, I really want/need down low grunt for the kind of track and sprint work I do, it's a 6262.

8374 is similar sized to my 6262 from most accounts so I'd personally be going smaller duration (I've now got 260's but haven't tuned it yet to see if there is a big improvment) 

If you do decide to go the 182-S let me know because you will be able to save a few hundred buying from me :)

Will keep that in mind, thanks Simon

currently running 260/9.15 poncams so will see how they go before doing anything drastic.

You're in luck as I've actually done a direct back to back with Type-B poncams and 182S

Same response but 690 vs 750 hp at high boost... 182S made same power and response with 0.4bar less boost

Wouldn't have an overlay of that at all.

The humble Type B poocam that everyone loves once again fails to perform. ?

Don't take this as gospel as everything isn't totally apples with apples as there were some differences in the head (intake squish removed on the head that had the GREX and 182S cams) but should give you a rough idea.

I've now got a custom grind 260 that should be as good as the GREX cams or even a bit better *fingers crossed*

Update, the custom grinds ended up working well (although the GREX were still mighty in hindsight)

Nice - cheers for sharing, I'm guessing the newest are the 182Rs? Considering the power they are making they delivery very very well everywhere!

Edit: They really are custom... there is nothing to that spec on the website, what specs are they?

Yes, 182R are newest (I think they were actually labelled 182X on the box)... They are custom 260 10.3mm ones from Kelford

What's the duration at 50 thou?

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
