i am just fitting some tomei poncams...

is it

10o clock intake, 2 o clock exhaust

however, how many links inbetween the two?? and how do you do Rb26 cas timing also? im not sure.. ive only really done sr20's and commodore cam swap/timing .

any help would be much appreciatd.

thx

There are timing marks for both cams (dots on the black plate behind the cams) that you need to line up with the 'dots' (drilled out small marker holes) on the cam gears.

Likewise on the crank, there is a drilled out 'dot' on the timing belt gear on the crank, and a notch cut out of part of the oil pump housing. Just make usre these are all lined up 100% perfectly before you take the belt off.

As for the number of notches between cam gears, its just really 'tight'. I rotated one of the gears towards the other so it was easier to get the belt on, and then 'tightened' it up by rotating the cam gear back.. was only a couple of mm required to make it easier to get the belt on. Also helps if you have 1 or 2 more people there to help hold the belt in place so it dosen't slip off :blink:

CAS timing is easy. Base timing is 20 degrees. Check the manual for more details, but there is a loop at the rear of the engine at the top for an inductive pickup timing light. Rotate the housing of the CAS to get your base timing right. Do it with the engine off, a bit at a time. Each mark on the harmonic balancer equates to 5 degrees BTDC, and if memory serves the mark all the way on the right side is 30 degrees. Check the manual though.

I recently put poncam Bs in my 32GTR, and the power gains are well worth the expense!

Good luck and have fun :D

if its *really* lumpy, it may be that one of your cams is out by a tooth, which IIRC, can be about 10 crank degrees or more!

Given that you're harmonic balancer is back on, you can get TDC from the timing marks on the harmonic balancer, and just take the cam cover off to get things lined up.

I can't remember if there is infact a 0 degrees mark on the harmonic balancer. If theres not, you can have a bit of an estimate. perhaps add some marks yourself. check the manual.

Use a short straight edge to see if the dots on your cam gears are perfectly lined up, and to check the timing mark, im pretty sure you wanna look across the mark

on the timing belt cover 'through' the centre of the crank shaft if you know what i mean.

I also found that the plate behind the cam gears was a little cock-eyed... one cam was slight above, the other was slightly below after re-fitting the timing belt.

Its quite possible that its the CAS needing adjustment, but you'll need a timing light for that anyway. I found 20 degrees on mine was with the CAS pretty much dead centre on the adjustment. a few degrees either side of that shouldn't make your idle overly lumpy though.

My idle is only slightly more lumpy than factory with poncam Bs and no advance/retard on either cam. I'm yet to dial that in... need some dyno time :thumbsup:

Out of interest, did you replace your idler and tensioner bearings for the timing belt?

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.  
    • My steering lock unit on my Infiniti G37 has failed. The car is a local 2012 Infiniti G37 (Q60 ) I need to replace the unit My local mechanic said i need to buy a complete steering wheel assembly. Does anybody no any mechanics in Gold Coast or Brisbane who can fix this issue or where i can buy just the Steering lock control unit. Thanks
