Hey guys first time poster here and looking for some help, I'm about to list every part I have accumulated over the last 1 year in preparation for my r34 GTT manual going in to get built in the next coming weeks

Firstly just like most, my initial plan changed midway and now I'm going slightly bigger turbo 

I have purchased a garrett g30-900 1.01 A/R now previously I had a 3076 (aeroflow turbo) but sold it and decided to go garret. With previous turbo I had purchased a 45mm turbosmart hypergate (14 PSI) 

However now that I have a garrett g30-900 I was wondering is my 45mm turbosmart too small for my set up?

I'm aiming for 500kw on high boost (but will have a low boost setting of about 300kw)

Should I look into getting the 50mm progate or is 45mm OK? I do want some response 

My current list of parts are:

ARP head studs 

arp main studs 

Nitto head gasket 

6 boost manifold 

Turbosmart wastgate 45mm 

Fuel regulator turbosmart fpr6

Fuel rail plazmaman 

Injectors 1650cc Bosch

Turbo garret g30-900

Plazmaman intercooler 

Plazmaman full billet intake manifold 

haltech 2500 

Haltech ic7 

Radiator PWR 

ATP Oil catch can 

Twin plate clutch exedy organic 

Kelford 264 cams 

Kelford spring & retainers 

Supetech valve set 

Nitto I beam rods 

Nitto pistons 86.5

Nitto oil pump and crank collar 

HKS Cam gears 

Prp trigger kit 

ati Harmonic damper 

Astra electric power steering 

2x 525 Fuel pump wallbro and Surge tank

prp ls1 rb25 alternator kit 

R35 coil packs

Aeroflow sump

Hi-Flow pick up for sump

Engine mounts tuff

I'd go the 50mm gate. The 45 might do everything you want, but it would be such a pain in the arse to do all the work fitting it, only to find out its a little too small for what you want. 

For the small outlay at the start, I'd play it safe and just go with the 50mm gate.

Side note, that's a pretty sexy build you've got in the works.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?
