Interesting, same as the 9.25mm lift 264s - so to confirm, they are definitely 260 advertised duration?

Yup, there was talk about going a 222/222 and that was actually going to push the advertised duration to 226 but drop the lift down to 10mm

From Kelford

I personally would run the 226° ones, given their slightly shorter adv. duration (it’s a design and acceleration thing that makes this the case)

I’m in the same boat as well cannot decide between Tomei or Kelford. Will be using
Borg Warner EFR 8374 1.05a/r and NITTO's 2.8Ltr Stroker Kit. Car will be mostly street so looking for response.

Looking at these:
Tomei Procam 260Degree 10.8mm Lift
Tomei Procam 270Degree 10.8mm Lift

Kelford 182-S 274/270 10.55mm&10.50mm/10.50mm lift.

Kelford 182-C 272/272 10.00mm/9.95mm lift

 

But don’t quite understand how to compare the numbers dunces ones advertised ones vs actual...

They are both advertised duration.

I would think at this stage more development has been done by kelford than tomei.

On their website they haven’t showed anything new thou. Emailed them about that 182-X 260 custom cam

Let's rephrase that to more development in the last 15 years. Tomei are of the vintage of t51 and t04e turbos and old heavy dual valve springs . The world has moved on and cars are now running ethanol, single beehives and extremely efficient turbos. I'm not saying kelford has changed the game but things like the split lobe 274s would likely suit the modern engine better.

Do you have the beehives on your setup?  you must be rich.  Tomei A work on pro 270 10.8 just fine. Not over sprung and kind to the running gear.

 

yea they would be, but if you want a more agressive cam ramp they won't do the job. duration and lift doesn't tell the full story about cam design. there is another metric of the cam that is the average lift over the duration that tells more of the story about the cam profile.

also, worth noting the Tomei cams quote the lobe height and kelford quote the net lift. so they're both a 10.8mm lobe cam.

Both Tomei and Kelford quote net lift(Kelford)  and valve lift (Tomei) which is the same thing mate. ie Cam lift - clearance

Unfortunately no one quotes you the area under the mountain which is "secret" , unless you buy me the Kelford cam and i will measure it and tell you as I already have the Tomei and a few more.

Those 182-X are the custom ones that were made for me. @Piggaz check the sheet

How they working for you?

I asked for a custom 260 and that's what they offered...still not sure.

Out of the 5 sets of cams I've tried they are equal best response. 

On moderate boost levels they make the most power (but head is also now slightly ported), on high boost they make the most power (once again head is ported now).

Never apples with apples, but if I did it all over again, I'd be sticking with them

Interesting!   I remember reading you tried the staggered inlet cam 182s?  

Is the one you have now the first 260 you have tried and are you running suggested CLs?

Trying to wake my EFR up a bit earlier (260/10.25 Procams)  and tossing up between 182x or some 256 Reimax cams.

Which other cams did you try before if you do not mind me asking?

Staggered inlet were too big for my application (Precision 6262)

We started at centerlines they suggested, inlet got advanced a fair bit on the dyno. Exhaust stayed the same

Which EFR?

Grex unknown exact specs but around 9.1 260 or 264, Tomei Poncam Type B 260, Tomei Poncam Type R 250 and the Kelford 182-S

Thanks for the info, always good to know.  

I have the  8374 iwg, no E85 in Japan. Going to see how far my tuner can go with advancing the inlet next and other way on the exhaust.

If no joy will consider the 182x or some Reimax group A cams (264/9.7) or their street cam (264in 256exh), they run 105 CLs all around with quite a bit of overlap, have good reports over here for coming on well.

What size HG you have 1.0mm?

    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
