Hi All,

interested in purchasing the crow cams below but out of stock. Have found a kelford cam but want to know how the kelford cam compares to TX2 or TXM.

Kelford cam specs are:

cam 274 or 226-F

 

i need to know the duration at 0.50 of inlet and exhaust like crow cams, kelford cam only has valve lift duration at 1mm.

 

could someone please work it out so I can have the specs like the crow cams.  Need to to duration at 0.50 of intake and exhaust. TIA

Oh. For f**k's sake. 50 thou is 1.27mm which is so close to 1mm that you can just pretend that it is the same and the worst that can happen is that the duration measured at one of them will be a couple of degrees different from the other.

The guy at Kelford probably should have heard about measuring duration at 50 thou because he works for a cam manufacturer and 50 thou was the standard for a million years, but it is totally understandable that he doesn't know because he is likely <30 years old, lives and works in a country that has been metricated since before 1970 and will only be using SI units in their manufacturing process because they are civilised and not trapped under the weight of 300 years of 'Murica f**k Yeah yeehaw freedom units like Crow f**king Cams is.

I like the way crow cams can't spell medium.

 

Out of curiosity what exactly are you comparing the cam specs to? Each other or some calculated desired valve timing events you have already figured out?

 

How much piston to valve clearance do you have to work with?

I just thought of this & thought I’d let you know, the good news is the above camshafts do exist, but will they snap? 
 

get the specs off the Kelford “turbo” cam from golbeys & regrind your genuine one to those specs. clivecams, surecam & Marshall custom cams do reginds.

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...

      Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !

      I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
