Hey Paul,

Did you sell that carbon shaft? or still have it? did you get it balanced? or didnt need to?

Hey man.

Still have it in the garage. Got it balanced by some mob, put it back in. It was better but not perfect. The stock one is back in the car now. I sent an email to ACPT and got nothing back. To be honest I forgot all about it.

Great stuff Paul, and those data logs are interesting. Has me wondering if anyone has thought of putting a dynamic tensioner on the timing belt to try and keep the cams more stable.

The EJ20s uses a high tension spring loaded tensioner on the slack side of the belt to take up the belt stretch when the engines RPM accelerates. It makes sense for those motors as the belt is a lot longer than an RB26 belt. It would be worth looking at how the 1UZFE handles belt tension too, as well as they have a crazy long belt.

Ian, I remember you saying something about te EJ's at the Nats.

Thats a good little something I can do when it's on the dyno next. Take a short movie with the Cam gear cover off to show how much the belt flops around. It's actually quite disturbing! Out of sight out of mind right? pinch.gif

When is it going back onto the dyno Paul ?

sounds like mine, still not even sure if it fits

Looked at mine the other day and contemplated sending it back to Oz but common sense took over as I reached for another beer and shaft was thrown to back of storage shed.

Paul head is not far off. Machining started on other parts.

Very interesting thread !!

Within the next few weeks. Just to turn the EBC on and screw some boost into it. See what it makes before the new head arrives.

HKS Vcam? I'd laugh if that allowed you a choice of 3 gears for any corner!

Sell it Marcus. Ebay that shit. I felt the difference and it was awsome but it didn't work as it should!

Can't wait for this head! Bring it on!!!!!!!!!

Oh. Don't get me thinking. VCam would be UNREAL! The difference between RS's and -5's was just amazing.... V cam ontop would be unreal..... What about a 3.0, V cam and -5's.! Say hello to area under the curve!

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
