Any body running Tomei's cams any version?

NismoSERTurbo · Jul 3rd, 2003, 12:15 AM

I am, the 260 degree version.

oh nice do you feel like its a worthy upgrade vs. the other cams you have heard about or tried?

Hey Carbon Black how did your swap go i used to have a 200sx se and sold it cuz i diddnt want to go thru the process of all that. How much did you end up paying?

It took us about 40 days, and i ran into a lot of problems, but I am loving this finished product.. I am very happy with it. I spent a lot less than doing the "trade-in", but sure it was a lot of work. Here is the link for more detail.

Back to Tomei talk, Those are one of the most wanted FWD SR20 cams in Japan.. Just like how people get JWT cams here, people get Tomei cams there. Not as much gain as JWT cams, but no low end loss. (260 "Poncam") They are fairly inexpensive too.

Yea in one of my Sport Compact Car Mags i have they did test and the tomei beat them all basically except one version of JWT cams in the high end but those same JWT's lost a -hp or two on the low end and dayum for $550 bucks cheaper from what it looks like i would take the Tomei over JWT

another fyi tomei also has the 270 cams (as opposed to 272) as well as 280 cams. I have yet to find a reliable source for getting these parts over from japan. If anyone knows please fill us in.

I want to run some Tomei cames in my U12 bb det, ive got no idea which ones to order hahaha.

Thing is, the RWD ones dont fit perfectly, I believe they need to be modified. Else, could the FWD sr20de cams go in?

I really need to sort this out. my cams are shagged and I'm half way through an engine rebuild.

Pulsar from what I understand if you have a SR20DET AWD you wont need any special modifcations. But over here in the US with our FWD SR20DE's we do have to make some mods but they will still fit. the less mild cam the better idle and moderate power your going to get. I would got with a low 270degree range cam but thats on you.

nizmo559 · Jul 15th, 2003, 03:38 AM

I'm backwards on that
