You ever end up getting this sorted man? What was the issue?

haha nah I gave up, I just got a RB25/30 conversion instead with new cams.

Although, when we took the cams out, we noticed the lobe on the exhaust cam shaft hollowed out one of the lifters.....?

THen by closely inspecting the lobe on the shaft, we could see a machining fault, almost as though there was a chip off the lobe... I am not sure if this could have contributed to the pinging and low ignition timing?

ANyway, I replaced the 260 pro cam with a HKS 264 cam shaft. My car is going to be out within the next week, I'll keep you guys updated.

Cheers

just for referance my 25 never went below 18 deg and it was only at 18 deg in a couple of cells.

the rest were 19 - 20 and up, and thats running 24 pound.

i also had a similar issue when poncams were installed, but that just needed a lot of new tuning and work with the ebc to iron out the map's issues

looking at your boost curve it is terrible, so no doupt thats where your missing power is hiding, combine that with the low timing and you shouldnt be

suprised to be missing 40 - 50 kws.

why did you get rid of vct just curious?

VCT wasn't working for some reason i.e. no difference when it was on or off.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.

      Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.

      Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?

      1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
