Just finished installing my poncams and valve springs. Started the car and first crank started no worries worked all day. Now just set the timing to 15 degrees went for a light drive no boosting and was going fine no probelm them all of a sudden at the lights stalls and doesnt start again.

Took off the top timing belt cover and checked if the cams were still alligned and they are both alright havnt skipped and the belts tension seems fine so I dont see how it could have skipped a gear so running out of ideas.

Don't convince yourself it's anything at all to do with the cams. You'll probably find that it would have happened regardless of whether you changed them or not. Just check the usual things.

Although, CAS could play a part in this, maybe not the plug but it could have died as a result of being removed.

Just abit of an update. I have noticed the back of the cas had made contact with the cam gear bolts and has sort of grinded it as you can see in the pic. I think it happened due to I didnt put the top timing belt cover on. Could this affect the CAS?

and?

you need to have the timing belt cover or a spacer of the same thickness between the CAS and its bracket, otherwise it gets pushed into the cam too far. cant see anything wrong with it from that picture tho?

yep I reckon youve kill the cas, I was told to be sure to use the rubber spacer that is on the cam gear cover otherwise as stated above the cas sits too far in, and yep can kill the cas, I was running no timing gear cover but the tuner said it was a common mistake to have happen and he sees it often

Just put everthing back together and put it on with the timing cover this time started up first crank guess I was lucky didnt kill the CAS. Its one of those things that are really simple but you just dont think about it.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
