Or legit US Parts.

Plenty of guys rock BC, DOC, Turbonetics, and Precision. Other guys simply fab their own stuff. What does Tomei truly expect to bring to the table other than the name?


Their cams are nothing special, their exhaust systems are nothing special and their turbos are overpriced garbage.

By and large, the Japanese companies today are completely irrelevant. They sell overpriced stupid trinkets to people cause "JAYDEEMM".

Doubt they are doing some wild build. In fact, I would guess they are most likely making the motor as close to how it came out of the factory as possible so they can get more precise measurements and such.
A weighted aftermarket crank is just extra rotational mass on anything short of a built monster motor.

The American companies are just as irrelevant in the import community, except they do not even have the 'name' factor going for them.
If anything, in the recent years, all the innovation as far as new parts for the S-chassis or drifting in general seems to be coming from Australia and Europe.

Only thing I can think of is Mazworks VE head swap that nobody buys.

I'm not just talking 240sx. I'm taking industry wide.

Now that I've decided not to go V8 and go KA-t, I'm pretty excited for what Tomei may be bringing to the table.

The M8270 is pretty big. How was response in 1st gear?
I have a GTX2867r with .82AR Plus (supposed to flow like a full t3) and I believe it's the biggest t2 housing on the market that i've seen. I don't get any boost in 1st gear in slow-to-moderate cruising. I can go upto 4k rpm and no boost even mildly hard throttle. If I step on it aggressively and WOT it picks up like a MOFO though, after 2nd gear it's very responsive, and 3rd gear and up is almost seamless. How was your response before cams?

That is assembly lube you can get it at pretty much any autoparts store. Don't put a motor together without it.

I haven't tried it with stock cams. But i had it with stock cam timing on 264 and it was laggy till about 4500 but power is there up top. But after timing the 264s not much lag at all, full boost at 3900. Breaks traction on 1st and 2nd, on stock final drive

Corbic, why are you talking shit? I dont get it.

The fact that Tomei is even stepping up to the plate to offer products for that engine platform should only make people happy - and instead, we get to read shit like this from you. And who are you? What do you do career-wise where your opinions have any validity to them?

As a business owner, I understand when shops charge a certain price for their parts - more power to them. Not everyone can afford to follow the big american business model of making parts by the millions and having huge retailers like jegs/summit stock them. It works fine for the detroit muscle parts since these parts are a dime a dozen, but it doesnt work so well for the custom parts that are made overseas. I can only wonder how many Tomei oil pans they can manufacture and then afford to hold as inventory. Its a balance game and its not easy to participate. And you want to add profit on top of that? Good luck. Especially with assholes like you chiming in on how pointless it is because its "jay-dee-emm" tight...

JMD, USDM, KDM... who gives a fuck. The fact that these Japanese @ Tomei are willing to even glance at the KA24DE is rad, and I dont even own a KA24DE. If you cant justify the costs, then dont buy their product, dont buy a 75 dollar HKS oil cap, dont buy any of that shit. No one is putting a gun to your head. You're just spouting off your opinion so that you can hear yourself speak.

HKS makes rad products
Tomei makes rad products
MazWorx makes rad products
Corbic makes nothing and sucks a lot of dick

So please, pretty please.. shut the fuck up and at the very minimum, say thanks to all the vendors who even care to make products for our shitty 20 year old cars.

FUCK!

What are you talking about? Tomei cans cost $300 and are some of the best cams on the market. Their head gaskets go for like $120 so their pricing a quality are extremely competitive.

not to mention, full titanium exhaust for under a grand. The guy is just mad. Let him be. He has nothing worth a damn and relies on the cheaper alternative. If tomei has nothing to gain.....that is tomei's problem not corbics. Which is why I don't understand his madness. There is really no point. I don't get mad at the companies he listed because I would never by a product from them lol. It's just that simple.

The funny thing is, tomei is bigger than all those companies he mentioned. Wonder how that happened.

Also, WTF are you jackasses talking about "fully counterweighted, heavier than stock crankshaft". ALL cranks are fucking counterweighted and aftermarket race cranks are NOT fucking heavier than stock, THEY'RE LIGHTER!!! You're thinking of a FORGED, BALANCED, AND LIGHTENED crankshaft. Nobody in the fucking world sells a race crank that is heavier than the god damned stock one.

GET A GOD DAMNED CLUE FOR FUCK'S SAKE!!!


You retards wanna know why Tomei didn't change the crank as well? Because it's a STAGE-1 engine!!! I was wondering the same thing about the exhaust ports untill I actually read stuff that was on the screen... I would bet that they'll push on to a much more highly modified version of this. Even as a stage 1 engine though I bet it'll put down some SERIOUS power and torque numbers.

Leave it to people to try to downplay the importance of Japanese Engineering / Aftermarket support. I'm so glad we have the most elite keyboard commandos and warriors amongst us in 2013.

Can't wait to see what they've got coming for the KA!

You know what would be FUCKING AWESOME??? If the Japanese decided they liked the KA24DE and started swapping them into JDM Silvias/180sx's. That would rock! I would have such good ammo for all the JDM fanboys talking about how it's a truck motor and the Tomei engineers were probably looking at it as a POS.

WRONG!

SR's don't sell for $1800 in Japan, that's how much the importers sell them for here to cover the expenses of importing it and probably close to 100% profit.

Nice try tho...

lol I remember those days. That is when the bandwagon was in its prime. Ricky Chu of super street was the one holding the reins. That guy was a flaming douche who didn't have anything worth a damn. Yet acted like he was actually somebody. Bandwagoners, they were great and still are. If tomei does this right, we all know what is going to happen. Then the butthurt....well yea .4 more litres of displacement. Lets see what a sr24 would do. lol. Just like the v8 guys saying let me turbo my v8 then see how your turbo 4 does lol. Like it makes it magically equal some how.
