HI! I want to install Tomei poncams 260\9.15 on mine rb26dett (r32). the motor completely the standard. What is required for correct work of the motor? Describe please all process in detail.

Take it to a mechanic....

They are designed as 'drop in' camshafts. There are no other parts required to do the job.

I would suggest replacing the timing belt and installing adjustable cam gears (if you want to go that way) as the same time. If your going the replace the cam belt, replace the idler pulley and the rocker cover seals.

Yes there are. You need to re shim the valve train to get the clearances right. So at minimum you need spare shims for that.

Also, if the motor is standard you are wasting your time installing type B Poncams as it won't improve performance in any meaningful way, just reduce midrange torque. If you must change cams the type A are a far better bet.

And a lil tip I learnt on Wednesday nite when I was on the dyno, set the zorst timing to 0 don't advance it or it will b laggy as

The exhaust cam on the Tomei's actually opens at 65 BBDC - the same as the stocker.

Actually the difference between the A & the B's is all in the exhaust cam - it has an extra 8 degrees duration on the B, ie 260 rather than 252.

That would make perfect sense. When i tuned deano1s GTR on wednesday Pulse had the cam timing all wacked. Inlet Was retarted Nd exhaust advanced. We set it all to 0 and made and extra 25kw and gained 60kw in the midrange.

Full boost was 5500 and now its 4300. 19psi.

what turbo is deano1 running?? worthwile mod for gtr running gt-ss pushing 300rwkw?

Deano 1 is running his stock N1 turbos. Steel wheel obviously.

People have made lots of power on stock cams. I think close to 600hp. But with big ass turbo's.

My car has the same turbos as deano s but with stock cams, mine is more responsive but doeant have the top end as deanos.

My car made 285rwkw

deanos made 300.2kw

How much boost? Im making 280rwkw, factory cams with GT-SS's on i think 16psi

Deanos is on 18.4psi 11.2afr.

Mine is on 18psi 11.2 afr. Both have really safe ignition. And as u can see reqlly safe afrs

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
