Tomei 264/264 8,5 poncams

Hi i just bought tomei poncams with 264/264 8,5 lift to My rb25det spec 1 nvcs with lash type/hydraulic lifters. I have installed tomei type a springs too.

But The problem is The car missfire and everything. When i checked comp on cylinders some have VERY Liw like 4-5 bar and some 11 bar.  

Then when i installed The oem intake camshaft i had normal comp in all cylinders with 264 exhaust CAM left in engine. 

Camwhells are oem. 

This CAMs are dropins says tomei. 

Anyone that knows or have seen problem like this?

Adjustable cam pulleys, if yr using STD pulleys then u can't adjust. If yr using eg Romeo's with a live centre then they should be zero.
 

I dont have adjustable camwheels. Allt stock wheels. Well The vct wheel is adjustable tho. But i tried to back IT and foreard IT with VERY Lottie changes. But not enough

If its fine with the OEM inlet cam and not with the Tomei look very hard at the Tomei for damage - preferably with old and new side by side. Is the CAS drive piece the same on both (and undamaged)? See if uou can find numbers on the cam to confirm that they are a pair. can you install the cam 180 degrees out? If the Tomei Inlet cam is putting your compressions  miles out something is very wrong.

The CAms knocks looks like The same. The cas drive is on The exhaust side. I have tried to fully retard and advance The oem vct cam gear with VERY little changes on compretion. Numbers on CAMs are a2685x on The exhaust and b2685 on The intake side.

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
