Hi Guys,

I am willing to purchase , sorry Perth only, 5 sets of cam gears. It doesn't matter whether anyone else decides to do it aswell, because me and my mate have enough performance cars to fit these to. Those of you in Perth can let me know which type of cam gear your interested in and I will provide them at the cost price that I can get them for, no markup from me.

I do however want to find the best cam gear for the money, as yet we have only heard rumors as to the reliability of the HKS gears, if anyone has more info then please let us know. Toda is as yet unknown, but I expect a response from Sub-zero Monday that may give us better insight.

I think it would be great if GT N1K and Meggala can provide other options for people interested in cam gears, I don't think anyone of us know the definitive answer but at least we are working together to find the best product at a competitive price.

I think that everyone that has contributed to this thread has had the right intention, get as much information to the people and then let them make an informed decision. Thanks to all who are contributing.

Hi Guys,

I got a response back from Sub-zero about the HKS vs. Toda.

the Toda gears are alot better than hks because of the aluminium they are made

of..

Toda is 7000 series alloy

HKS is 6000 series alloy  

Sub-zero

I am not happy with the price they offered, so I'll continue to screw the price down. Currently nengun is cheaper, and I've ask him to see if he can get other types of cam gears.

Anyone else have a possible source?

I got a source quoting that Tomei is very reliable and prices will be coming this week. This particular mechanic claims that HKS isn't that bad, they are aluminium which tends to wear faster and then slip, but onli eventuali - a matter of 2 yrs if street driven & not tracked all the time. I tink tomei or jun might b the go - just gotta wait 4 prices now. I also received toda prices from Subzero - wat a rip!!

p/s dyno pushed till 2morow - a few more hrs and i'll have results 4 u all.

N1K

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • 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.
