hks 272

[kevin90gst]

can you install hks272 on a stock vavle train and no fuel controller like afc,ect

the answer is no probably just wanted to check to see if its possible

Yes you could if you wanted...

HKS 272s do not require elevated spring pressures or degreeing. Fuel controllers really have nothing do with cams.

They do not require any other modifications to be used. Hundreds, if not thousands, have done just that.

But if you dont have a larger turbo (which would require some sort of fuel control) they aerent a nescescary step at this time.

I have a stock valve train, and its find HKS are very nice cams. Best investment!

Also check out www.fwdconnection.com , You can search around for the '' DKS '' cam posts, And will find some very good information.

Like eric said, you can do it but unless you have a larger turbo it will be sort of pointless. All a cam does is control how much(lift) and how long(duration) your valves open. The more lift and duration you have the more air your engine can suck in. Naturally aspirated the heads on our car already flow more air than the engine can suck in. Add the stock turbo system to the equation and it increases the amount of air your engine can take in, but still not enough to warrant the larger cams. Putting the larger cams in your car without increasing the amount of air your engine can take in will cause some drivabillity problems because you will lose most of your bottom end performance and your stock turbo will fall off before you can take advantage of the larger cam. In the domestic V8 crowd we like to call a big cam car a parking lot car, reason being because they sound good but they do not run worth a crap.

IMO, unless you are putting a very large turbo on your car or increasing your displacement, you would be better served with no cams or something along the lines of the HKS 264s. I like the Comps personally but HKS is older and has more experience.

This is what I was going to say. You can do it, but unless you plan on a turbo upgrade and the appropriate supporting upgrades, you don't need em.

that you for the information. I was just wondering if it would give me any power but now i will wait till i get a bigger turbo and finish my motor build. thanks everyone for answering my question
