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.

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).

    • Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.
    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
