Hi guys some help needed please

I want to degree my tomei poncams B's

My setup is flowed and ported head with a set of -5's

So from some searching I see setting them 2 degrees advanced on intake and 4 degrees retard on exhaust side, I,m happy to try those settings for the initial setup but would like to k ow if that is 2 degrees on the cams or 2 degrees on the crank

Just want to be sure on my starting point and don't want fcuk something up

thanks

It's been awhile since I had Type BS but from memory the setting I used where 4 adv on intake and 9 ret on ex giving a 106 lobe centres, when I brought the car the cams where at 12deg on in and 14deg on ex which made it lumpier the a bridge port :(

The markings are in crank degrees so one mark is 2degs on crank

Make sure you degree them and set them to the paper specs that came with them, then note what your cam gears are set at, whatever they are set at is your true zero degrees.

Point being if you have shaved the head, played with gasket thicknesses, etc zero on the cam gears is not necessarily the true zero position of the cams in relation to the crank.

Get a degree wheel and a dial indicator to do it properly.

Hi Guys

just out of interest, when finding true TDC would You set your CAS timing to this new mark or to the old mark on the belt cover?

I followed this procedure to get true tdc http://www.nicoclub.com/archives/how-to-degree-an-rbxxdettt-camshaft.html

and it is a bit away from where it would be for a stock setup

When you find true TDC you can mark the balancer pulley with a fresh mark to line up with the pointer. And of course can mark +5, +10, +15 degrees also if you like. When playing with the CAS, you don't pay any attention to where the CAS says it's pointing, for the same reasons you don't trust the zero positions on the cam gears....it's always adjusted to what's going on down at the crank.

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
