pHAT r32: WHO CARES WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE LOL :(

heres what u have to look foward to once they are set up:

after fitting the cams and doing a base run at zero zero cam setting I spent about 3 hours tuning the gears alone and achieved 20kw at the top end, 12% more torque over the entire rev range (thing about that for a sec) and spooled the turboes up 500rpm earlier> try 14PSI at 3400rpm...not bad for 3 hours dyno time and a few burnt fingers :)

Well worth while getting them set up rather than just looking at them. My settings finished on 4 degree retarded on the exh and 2 degree adv on the inlet. The main point here is the lobe center angle has been increased by 6 degrees thus increasing cylinder filling efficiency.

Mike

may i ask which cams you were using cheers

:P

Tomei 9.15mm 260 duration...a very nice cam for a std GTR...Also just a note..upon setting up the head during my recent rebuild I watched the machinest setup cam lift and spring clearences etc ...worth noting is that the 9.15mm lift is the biggest that you can go comfortably with the std GTR springs due to coil binding problems. Anything over about 9.8mm and the coils become bound up...not good. I fitted slightly heavier, around 10 lbs when fitted, springs with less coils so I can fit a larger lift cam later on if I need to.

cheers Mike

How much does a set of Tomei Poncams for an R33 cost? And at what stage of modification do you suggest you get them (Do they provide much benefit on stockers, or after exhaust and pod, or after major engine mods etc) or can you get good gains anytime?

Hey guys, reviving the dead thread :P

Whats the driving/performance differences between the Tomei Type A and Type B cams?

Type A 260IN / 252EX

Type B 260IN / 260EX

Does running the higher exhaust duration ( type B ) effect low down tourqe?

I'm just trying to decide which set to get.

I'm after a nice smooth tourqe curve (street car)

Thanks

i'm pretty sure it's the other way around mate. type a is 252 degree INLET. this is because of the theory that you can 'over cam' the inlet on an RB26 and a mild inlet cam matched with a slightly wilder exhaust cam is a good match for a street car. can't say i've tried it in practice though.

sorry beerbaron but the cam duration mentioned are right

http://www.tomei-p.co.jp/_2003web-catalogu...r_engindex.html

and i believe the opposite that rb26 are normally over cammed on the exhaust not the inlet as the manufactures spec cams and some aftermarket cams combo like this combo we are looking at ,run a longer inlet than exhaust for street use. To give the best combination of power and responce.

But all that said and done the 260/260 9.15mm poncams are a awesome bolt in combo and i believe the best bolt ins on the market.

Currently i'm looking at running some procams with high lift profiles and different duration combination to see how much can be extracted from my GT2560Rs turbos last dyno sheet was 529.4rwhp(397rwkw) on the poncams and i know that TWO.06l is running poncams at 442kw on HKS 2530s (but serious boost and c16)and 10.38 1/4 mile (thats a seriously fast low mount combo)

    • Welcome to my 2004 Toyota Mark ii IR-V Fortuna (series 2) With a 1JZ-GTE powerplant under the bonnet (hood) it'll give me plenty of scope for power upgrades. For those who aren't familiar with imports, the 1JZ-GTE is a 2.5L 6 cylinder VVTi engine with a single turbocharger. This has the factory R154 5 speed gearbox, along with a aftermarket 2 way LSD differential (brand unknown). Under the arches are a set of CST Zero 1 alloys, 18x9 +30 225/40 up front and 18x9.5 +15 265/35 on the rear. The car was quite low in Japan and there's evidence of the wheels catching the rolled arches/fenders. The tyre's aren't great so I'm in two minds whether to replace both or just the tyres and put up with the wider wheels on the rear. The car still uses stock brakes with the addition of some braided hoses. The exterior is stock with the exception of a BN Sports front bumper and a replacement Fortuna grill  Moving to the interior, the steering wheel has been replaced with a dished MOMO steering wheel (which will get swapped for my Momo Tuner for the time being) Defi Link Gauges are mounted above the climate controls and on the A pillar, the Oil Temp,Oil Pressure,Water Temp and Boost gauges should help with spirited and track driving  The stock seats have been replaced with some retrimmed Recaro bucket seats. Being a larger build these are a little snug, unfortunately the orange isn't for me so I'll look into replacing these down the line. Other modifications include a twin plate clutch, Blitz intercooler, Evolve alloy radiator, a stainless exhaust with decat, HKS EVC-S boost controller and coil overs
    • Apologies for the long read My R34 GTT was up for sale at the beginning of spring due to a few repairs creeping up. The strut tops needed replacing, roof and bonnet (hood) painting (yay for 3 stage pearl) and the underside stripped and treated. I sold the car which allowed me to be in a much better place financially. Leading up to the sale I was already thinking about the replacement. In an ideal world it needed to be a good all-rounder. Something I can mess around with, modify, do track days, do the school run, go on long drives etc.  Options included but not limited to... Laurel C35, Evo 8/9, Civic FD2, Impreza Hawkeye, Aristo and even an Audi S4 Avant (I've already got the Mazda 6 wagon). But there was always one car at the top of the list The Toyota Mark ii JZX110 I found an advert on a Facebook group for an example in Japan, from a seller called Jon at Rising Sun Exports. A few messages back and forth and Jon calls me from Yokohama one morning (or afternoon in his case). He briefly explained the import process, the costs involved and a repeat of the advert. After much deliberation, the price was agreed and the sale was locked in. I've never imported a vehicle so I jumped into the unknown head first. The money transfer was completed through wise.com (fees apply), very easy to use and the money was with him within a day or two.  The car suspension was raised for the vessel and the car dropped off at the port. It was 7 weeks later when the bill of lading was received and the freight invoice sent to me, followed by the export certificate a couple of days after (both digital copies) In the mean time the port had been in contact. I needed an agent to deal with the NOVA (notification of vehicle arrival) along with the tax/duty invoice, this was £75.00. The port also had a fee of £100, I'm guessing to cover the cost of the 10 day 'free storage' and for moving the car off the boat etc. They need a copy of the vehicle invoice, freight invoice and export certificate to allow the vehicle to pass through customs. The vessel arrived on Tuesday 5th August, the tax/duty invoice was generated and sent over. This is generally tax 20% and duty 10% of the vehicle value. Although the invoice came in at a higher amount than I had calculated. Once HMRC had received the payment the vehicle could be released from customs. I thought once the tax/duty was paid you could collect at any point, that's not the case. Your agent will need to book a collection slot, I requested Thursday 7th which was accepted, with a 9:00am slot allocated. It was a 5:00am start from Norfolk heading to Southampton. We eventually found the compound, upon presenting the bill of lading and some ID they released the car (they drove it out of the compound to the front ready for us to load up). The email from the port stated each slot had a 10 minute window, which seemed abit farfetched but the staff said it's not a strict rule. We were there for approx. 30-40 mins in total. A week prior to collecting I contacted my garage and explained the situation, I was able to get an inspection slot that afternoon. For the registration, DVLA require the car to be insured, for this I used a company called Adrian Flux who can insure the vehicle using the VIN number. 
    • Hey guys, looking for these side skirts if anyone can help me out. 
    • Wife and I are still looking for a new home. One condition was a large enough garage for a full-size lift in one bay. Now if only we could find something... We've been looking for almost a year now.
    • Thanks everyone for the ideas! Sadly, ramps are a no go for me. With young kids at home, I do most of my work late at night while they're sleeping. Starting the car multiple times wouldn't be a great idea.  I'll go see one of those new long reach low profile jacks and take a couple measurements to see if they will fit.
