HKS 272's Question

[awdwhip]

would it be ok to install a set of 272's on a internally stock 7 bolt?

 

[Staytuned]

Yes it is fine to do so. As long as your stock components are in good working order now.

 

[awdwhip]

For a street/strip application, would a intake 264 and exhaust 272 combo work? what would you guys recommend?

 

[Staytuned]

It depends on what turbo you are going to run. A 16g I would stay with 264's or maybe try a combo of 264 - 272. But a 50 trim or bigger go with 272's for sure.

Why not get the Crowers instead? Same basic grind except it was improved slighty (high-RPM horsepower I believe), and they're a lot cheaper.

I recommend the 264/272 combo. I know somebody who had the 272 intake/exhaust, he said he was hating life. You can lose vacuum like that. According to some dyno sheets on this forum, the 264/272 vs the 272/272, the 264/272 yeilded 10lbft of torque over the 272/272 combo, which made only one more HP. You do the math and see which one would be more dirveable. Get some cam gears if you can to, aftermarket cams go on a little differently than stock cams, adj. cams will make it easier.

and im pretty sure the the turbo they used was a 16G ...thats probably why it made 10 more ft lbs... when picking a set of cams the turbo you have is a HUGE deciding factor in wich cams to go with... like he said a 50 trim or larger go 272s.. i have ran 272s on the street for a while and my car is a daily driver with 272s and a SCM 61 .. i dunno where people come up with they are not streetable I think its more people that have never used the cams just speculating..most people i have talked to that ran 272s say they are fine for streetability

Holy shit people you have to match your parts properly or we will always have these brutal misleading posts about how 272'2 are not a streetable cam or they are not a significant gain over the 264 cam. A turbo that creates power from 4000-8000 rpm deserves a cam that can match it and the same goes for a turbo that makes power from 3000-7000. I can make my car idle at 600 rpm and drive it all day like that with no problems at all and I can pull 14-15 inches of vacuum at idle.

I would not want 264 cams on my 3052 ....they would not do it justice. Match your parts to your goals.

Regardless of how some guys car ran and what grind he decided on, all cars will respond differently and the way a car will behave in regards to certain mods like cams all comes down to a couple key things, a proper setup, and proper tuning. Sure a dyno sheet on here said one thing, but we dont know how well that car was dialed in. Or how much the other car had left in it.

I'd personally go with and plan on going with crowers. Still deciding on if I want to go stage 2 or 3 with them, the dyno sheet on the crower website for the stage 3's seems to max out at 7500rpm which is fine by me, and I think it may have been turbo magazine who years ago stuck the stage 3's on Big 16G test car and said the car still felt torquey and was fine in regards to vacume.

I know I need to match my parts like stated before, but I was wondering what would be the effects of having 272's with an EVOIII16G. I want to get cams(not for a while due to $) but I was thinking of getting 272's. I have the EVOIIIG right now but want to go bigger later, thats why I was thinking 272's. I just want to know how much it would effect it now with 16g untill I could upgrade the turbo.
Thanks,
JB

264/264 is a good combo for a 16g/VPC car.
