Hoping someone may be able to help us out

just got my new motor going forged internals big sump etc. etc.

Head was checked out and setup to run my Tomei poncams I had used previously

Now its running and all seems happyish

except only seeing -35 kpa vac at idle (factory spec -65 kpa)

this on the stock gauge appears as the mark half way to -700 mmHg (factory spec should be -480 mmHg)

would love to know what others with poncams are seeing

cams will obviously effect vacume at idle but this seems a bit excessive

have checked and cant seem to find any other vac leaks???????????????

any assistance apreciated

Yeh cams will affect vacuum, wats the duration and lift of these cams?

also double, triple, and quadruple check your intake side, for vacuum leaks. Im fighting a leak right now, and its a prick of a thing.

but id say its just the cams. does it rev and idle ok?

if it pops, farts and stumbles when you rev it, thatll be a vacuum leak, otherwise, its the cams.

thanks for the replys

car runs well idle is a bit up'n down 900ish to maybe as high as 1000 rpm

but seems to be reasonably steady round 950ish once properly warm

car is not making much power though at really small throttle openings

eg trying to get up a steep driveway

new motor and new twin plate OS Giken so a new learning curve I spose as well

Have not done a real tuning run for power yet just checked afr's etc and loaded it up for a bit on the dyno

need rego next to put some km's on it

Am hoping once i get the cam timing done an a proper power tune it will be better

edit: poncams so 264 9.6 on both (if memory serves me right)

sorry man i dont have much experience with 26s... ill just say that in advance lol

stock duration is 240 deg IIRC so youve got an increase of 15deg there, should shift your powerband up a fair bit, but i cant see it having that much of a drastic affect of your idle, the overlap wouldnt be THAT major. compared to say, the 285s that some people use. in theory, if 265s cause you to loose that much idle vacuum, a car with 285s would barely idle sub 1000rpm!

but

idle is a bit up'n down
that is a classic symptom of a vacuum leak on a MAF sensored car. try spraying carb cleaner/aero start around the intake manifold, and if your idle changes or your misfire etc, youve found your vacuum leak.

i guess you're gonna have to hear from another 26 owner as to the vacuum they see...

do you still have the ITBs?

Yeah ITB's am wondering if I still have a leak the cams are not that big

tried some carby cleaner but no real joy

After reading bout your drama with injector o-rings will try n blast some aerostart or somesuch

around there an see if that shows anything up

yeh that fkn o-ring was my problem... prick of a thing to get to on my car, entire top half of the intake manifold needs to come off to get to the fuel rail (like half an hour job even though ive done it like 10 times now)

good luck bro, hope ya get it sorted. darwin needs more GTR love on the streets lol

Well you have a problem, and you know what's likely causing it...

The setup by your own admission isn't even done yet.

Its very hard to say what is wrong or right, if you've yet to sort it all out...

Side note - you may well find the driveway issue won't go away. Part and parcel of larger cams.

These cams are not exactly new to me

Ran they in my last motor as stated in the first post

though had cam timing sorted on install so I spose without cam gears adjusted they might be that doughy down low

but I doubt it

Basic setup has been done, just not power tune :)

afrs etc looked fine tuner didnt really notice anything amiss till he did a lap of the block

to make sure no drivability issues, an there it was, along with an oil leak from the cam cover half moon seal

Appreciate the help though guys

Darwin definitely needs more GTR's

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
