I will be going for that mod soon I would say.... probably the new spacer will do a great job to feed some more air for those high angle cams...

Murray,

yeah.... I can feel the gain from above 2500rpm... not too bad I would say.... and the VTCs are really needed if you want to go for the wild cams.... otherwise you will not be possible to use all of those higher lift/angle advantage I believe... and also comes with the software to control VTCs, there ain't much options out there really... so whoever can change the OEM ECU or come up with a good and cheap after market ECU to go with the VTC + cams will be the money maker...

cheers,

Richie,
thanks for the offer, I may have to take you up on it in the future if we move the car to another race class. I think you need to get a Hollinger gearbox for your Z, should make it a bit faster under acceleration....... Are you a V8 Supercar fan?

Thawk408,
I know there are more parts changes to the 35th Anv motor than what I listed, my point is, that according to Nissan Competition the extra 13hp is coming almost entirely from the software upgrade, since the motor is now reving to 7000rpm, a lot of the other parts (new rod bolts, valve springs etc) are there to keep the motor reliable for the next 150k miles. This information was given to me by Nissan Comp in response to my inquiry about purchasing some of these parts to put in the engine of my racecar, their response was it was a waste of money if I already had engine software.

They got an auto 35th anniversary edition, which is 287hp.

I am sure that the revised shape on the piston head, new camshaft profile, VTC on both sides, and modified intake with shorter and wider runners are helping that retuned ECU to get more power. I really doubt that it is all coming from the ECU seeing that all those parts should change the power output of the motor.

It will surely be cool to see how the 05 revised engine turn out when you got the car.... let us know when you have it dynoed!

"looks like the VTC pulleys did what we thought they would" Sorry, could some one give me the details on what we thought they would do, sorry for the question, just not sure about what they do better, thanks.

Richie,

What is the lift of these cams?

Thanks

how much did you end up spending to upgrade with the S1 parts?

Well I have a little bit of insight into the answer. Generally speaking dynojets are 13% higher in their numbers than us. Superflow and mustang are ~5-8% higher. Roto-pak is closest to our numbers ~2-3%. Everyone has their reasons for using the correction factors they select.

The numbers are just that, numbers. The thing to look @ are the delta between where you stared and finished.

Back to the thread topic, thanks for the information and the documentation. Decent gains w/ keeping the streetability.

nismo spec 1cam have 276 degrees duration, and .433 " lift. The exhaust cam is 256 degrees duration with .413" of lift.
pretty aggressive cam IMO

this setup is nice, be sure to wait for 350evo's plenum.
it'll be really insteresting to see how this setup react with a good NA plenum.
PS lucky you with the Motec.

The info of those cams according to nismo are:

INT: 276 degrees with 10.7mm lift
EXT: 256 degrees with 10.1mm lift

and the standard figures are:

INT: 238 degrees with 9.5mm lift
EXT: 240 degrees with 9.5mm lift

I ended up spending like a bit over 15K AUS for the kits with Motec M600 computer... since Nismo Japan does not want to sell the computer to us... they said: Either we install the car or you don't get the computer nor the engine cover nor the modified intake system.... that's why I went with MoTeC instead and will do my own intake system later on.

+1 for waiting for the 350EVO setup. It really seems like the best option for NA tuners.

I think everyone is waiting for the EVO setup now... because it is purely design for the N/A tuning and I am more likely to go for this setup and hopefully can get a few extra horses out on the rear wheels...
