272 cams with just a chip?

[Tre3zy]

hey guys just wondering if i can run a bc 272 cams with just a chip?

 

[dsmtun3r98gst]

a friend of mine is running BC 272 cams and he has no mods other than a 16g with no problems whatsoever.

 

[Tre3zy]

damn not even a tune? chip? or safc?

 

[dsmtun3r98gst]

nope nothing... when he told me I was like WTF .

 

[Tre3zy]

haha yea just wanted to make sure....

 

[dsmtun3r98gst]

By the way this was done on a 2g. you might want to wait for others to post their opinion just to see what they have to say about it as well.

 

[Tre3zy]

yea ill do that....

Dont worry same as that 2g is you can do it. The 272s are good for street, you can even run with stock valve,springs,retainers with the. You will here a difference in your idle but not bad. Sounds pretty cool to me at times . So go ahead have fun

A chip? No. You don't need any valve/head work with 272's, but 272's are pushing it.
And chip? Our cars don't really have chips, asides from DSM link.

272's are a "bolt on" mod.

yup . another one of my friends just raised his Idle close to 1,000 rpms and you couldn't really hear them as much.

Its funny how some people that don't really know much about cars think that your engine has some serious mechanical problems when they hear the engine idle with cams .

My car is exhaustless and broken 1000% of the time.

 

[dsmtun3r98gst]

DAMN . in 6 years that I've owned my eclipse has only been down for 3 days getting a trans rebuild. other than that its been daily driven with no mayor problems (knock on wood )

Oh and I have 181,xxx original miles

Single favorite install I've done was cam install. No tune change necessary, mid rpm to redline acceleration gains are fantastic. Worth every penny.

 

[Tre3zy]

cool thnx for the advice guys....

 

[Lofty]

My car hasn't been broken in months. According to what people think broken sounds like though.....

 

[dynedta]

as above said i just installed 272s with no tune etc... i did have to bump the idle a smidge

 

[dsmdeliveryboy]

I'm installing HKS 272's tomorrow with no tune, its gonna be badass. You just need to tune them to get the full gains from them, but you'll still see gains with no tune.

Yes we do have chips. They are EPROM chips that you can get with a custom tune. And that's what he's talking about when he refers to chips.

Our cars run a maf, not speed density. So as long as you don't flow more air than the stock injectors can keep up with, your fine. VE changes do nothing to the tune on a dsm.

So let me get this right cause I'm aching for some cams now. I can get 272/ 272 with no tune. You serious!
I lost my manual after I've moved but how hard is it to change comparing it to an oil change!

Yes you can install them with no tune, but it is not ANYWHERE close to as easy as changing your oil and is not something you can rush into. If you don't know much about working on cars I would not suggest trying to do it or you WILL ruin your motor.

Here is a install guide
Installing Cams into a 4G63 - My Pro Street

If you can change a timing belt and valve cover gasket, you can install cams. You just need to pop the cam gears off the old cams, properly install them into the new cams, bolt the new cams on with plenty of assy lube, replaced the valve cover gasket, reinstall the timing belt with the proper timing set, and button everything back up. It took me about 3 hours to "undress" my engine the first time I did an in car timing belt change on one of these cars. And about 2 hrs to swap the belt and have everything back together.

Edit:

Actually, I would just do it dsmdeliveryboy's way unless you need to do a new timing kit as well.

 

[my dreamt dsm]

^^^^ Thanks guys... good info. I'll probably look into some. I sorta heading Brian's old direction illeclipse but a fwd platform. Low 13's good enough for me unless time is a drug and only low 12's will do!

 

[red94gsx]

This really makes me want to get some cams. Especially because I'm in the middle of a timing belt job.

hahaha damn everyone wants one now hahaha
