Currently 293hp as my sig tells. Tell me if I am under/over exaggerating the 350hp figure with the following....

I am at the start of my quest for more HP sauce...and by "at the start" I really mean it. I still have to get the money for this too :) . I am looking at doing this mid next year at the latest and thats with leeway for any financial mishaps along the way.

OK, I was quoted $1600 for a replacement PFC + controller (not Apexi I don't think) installed and dyno tuned by Ken and the guys at Hyperdrive (I hope that offer still stands or becomes less within 10 months or so)...reasonable, but for increasing the boost (currently at 11PSI) I will need internals, so I was thinking cams will give me a bit more strength in the engine

As I said I don't think its an Apexi, so I might jump on a group buy for the Apexi later on if one crops up

What price am I looking at for a set of cams...I hear Tomei are good!, are they top of the line or just good for the money?

My GTR currently has:

T3 turbos (I think from an R34 GTR)

3" Mandrel bent exhaust

freshly rebuilt late last year

any info appreciated

cheers

Tom

err ... what other PowerFC's are there :D

ok, so I just need a cam gear....one of those purple and blue round thingy that sits at the front of the engine ;)....well, I happen to have a rough estimate at $350 for one of those...that sound about right!

so PFC (probably Apexi then...) and a cam gear with about 13-14PSI of boost should get me 350rwhp...ok, thanks for that

So it should set me back $2000 ($50 fuel there and back ;) )

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
