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?

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
