whilst removing the cam gear cover to check out my cam gears.. i noticed the little pins inside the cas, and the pin on the camshaft that line each other up are broken..

only the one on the camshaft seems to be broken, but without knowing where to line it up with, i beleive its affecting the CAS, and my car wont start... it turns over, and makes a few small attempts at starting.. but it wont start properly..

any ideas? if the CAS was attached to the cam shaft, but not lined up correctly, would the car still start? and how would i go about fixing the pin?

cheers.

Been there, done that.

If you look very carefully at the camshaft side, you can see which half of the hole the key was attached to. You then need to visualise the CAS key matching over the imaginary cam key.

The CAS is also driven by meshing teeth, and it ends up that there is really only one position that the CAS can go back on that will permit the engine to start.

ya, i saw it had the teeth mesh... i can kinda see where the pin snapped off when ive got the cam cover off, and the bracket that the cas atttaches too off..

but when ive put it back on, and the cover on, its hard to see where it lines up...

cheers anyway, ill give it ago in better light on the weekend.

      @Butters I can't tell you why but the bigger HKS step 2 cams improved low and mid end immensely. Turbos started spooling about 1k RPM less than before and the idle/vacuum was rock solid, it was an absolute thrill to drive, 3rd gear pulls hit 180kmh where previously only managed 160. Conversely, the milder poncoms in there now have a funky idle making it harder to get off the line, drives poorly in lower revs, laggy and makes less power/torque throughout. Feels better after I swapped the EBC but unless I put it on the Dyno again, I can't say how much better.

      Cams are not needed at this power level, they will create lag. The cam gears are a good idea though.

      @Murray_Calavera yeah, I guessed as much, cooler temps, more boost, less knock, more timing, hello power. Unfortunately not quite within reach ATM, could upgrade my whole fuel system to support but still wouldn't have E85 to run it 😂  Anyway, I changed cams again, 260/260 poncam B and everything else the same except an EBC upgrade. Now I must say I was quite disappointed with the result as it was like running stock cams (didn't try to dial them in as they're supposed to be optimum already) but after awhile I suspected my new EBC was underperforming not to mention difficult to use. I recently swapped back my old EBC and it drives much better now, boost comes on sooner, more stable, no spikes etc, feels all quicker and faster than with stock cams. Planning to fiddle with the cam gears and see what happens but maybe skip the Dyno as I intend to revert to the HKS cams cos they really made the car come alive; low and mid end was unbelievable and it just wanted to rev to the moon, finally knew what people were raving about, RB26 really loves revs. Anyway, Dyno 03 is quite disappointing, in Dyno 02 although peak power was less and trailed off at the top, the low and mid end improvement more than made up for it.
