i bought r34 tomei poncams cams because they wre cheap, so i decided to put them into my r32. was told they would work with a r34 CAS and abit of wiring work.

got the car to start, it idled for about 1 hour, but when i turned it off it wouldnt start again. i cranks but wont turn over.

HELP?!

engine was just put in, not sure what to check.

the reqirint work is simply reversing the wiring on the CAS plug.

any information would be appreciated!!

what engine?

I've never heard of putting 34 poncams in a 32. Its not something that logically sounds right but I cant be sure it doesn't work.

r34 cas on an r32 ?

You idled it for an hour ! - why?

Tried putting it back to the way it should be

Then go through the process of - Why my car wont start

Hopefully no damage has been done that cant be undone.

Edit: Good point ^above. Suppose if its an R34 RB25 engine - sweet. If it's an RB20 DET :wacko:

Can't see thread tags on phone. It's my understanding that you should not let a new cam idle, it should be run at around 2000rpm for 20 minutes to run it in. Not sure what Tomei recommend.

+1 Running in a new camshaft requires fast idle for approx 20min (or whatever the manufacturer recommends), then varying load i.e. hills hills & more hills. This also good if it's an overhauled engine, for bedding in rings (low RPM, wide open throttle - to force the rings into the liner).

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
