FS: HKS 264/272 cams for Evo

[jbrennen]

In my zeal to ensure timely delivery of cams, I ordered from two vendors, so I now have two sets of cams.

So I'll sell one set for $480, which is the price I paid to the cheaper of the two vendors, not including shipping. You get a good price, and if you pick them up locally (Fairfax County), you save shipping and pay no sales tax.

These are HKS cams: a 264 intake camshaft and a 272 exhaust camshaft -- a combination which some Evo tuners have found to offer a nice compromise between the high power capability of the 272s and the daily drivability of the 264s. I'd rather not split up the set, but if you only want one, let me know and if these haven't sold within a month or so, maybe I can hook you up.

Contact me by PM if interested.

What kind of gains does the 264/272 combo give ya??? :confused:

[jbrennen]

The gain you'll actually see from the 264/272 cams depends heavily on what other mods you've got and how well tuned your engine management is.

Compared to the stock cams, I would expect to see anywhere from 10-50 HP, depending on the factors above. Vishnu has specified the 264/272 cam combo as part of their Stage 1+ or Stage 2 power upgrades.

According to Shiv at Vishnu, the 264/272 is worth about 10 HP over the 264/264 cams.

Do you need new cam gears as well to use these?

Thanks,

Count me out, Jack - thanks anyhow - I need to keep that stock feel until I get a second car. This is a great deal whomever buys them!!

They should work fine with the stock cam gears, but since you're in there replacing the cams, putting in new cam gears makes a lot of sense. With new cam gears, you're looking at two possible improvements -- lighter weight gears, or adjustable gears, either of which will give you small incremental improvements in performance.

Cam gears are relatively inexpensive, and installation of cam gears pretty much comes free with installation of cams, since you have to remove the stock cam gears anyway.

Do cams put you in Street Modified? I was planning on running in ESP in the spring :P

might be able to get em from u in a week... i'll let u know...

Bump...

The HKS camshafts are still available.

I installed the other set of camshafts I have (identical to these for sale) in my car on Saturday. Lots of top end power... With a boost controller which holds boost at high RPMs and with these cams, your car should pull hard all the way to the rev limiter. :)

Again, the price is $480 -- pick them up locally and save shipping. The camshafts are sealed, unopened in the original HKS box. Many are paying $600 or more (including shipping) for this exact same set of camshafts.

How much for the install and what is the drivability like now? That's a combo i have seriously been considering.

First, the HKS cams are spoken for...

I have no idea what you'd pay a reputable installer. The subject came up here a month or so ago, I don't think anyone posted a good answer. I would guess somewhere around $400. Doing it yourself is an option as well, but I wouldn't suggest it unless you've done an involved install before, or (like me) have a helper with such experience.

The drivability is pretty much unaffected. The idle is a little ragged, but nothing to be concerned about. I'm running a very conservative XEDE map, so the power hasn't blown me away yet, although I do notice that the power holds strong all the way to the rev limiter now.
