Td06H 20g w/8cm housing or HKS 272 cams... Help me decide!!!

[007jimmy]

First off, Mods if this is in the wrong forum can you please move it to the correct one. Ok well today I have came across a local that was parting out his unfinshed build of a 92 GSX. He was telling me he had a bunch of new in the box parts that he was willing to sell. He first pulls out a new 20g turbo/Td06h turbine with a polished compressor housing and a ported 8cm DSM bolt on housing. He had a bunch of misc. stuff for a 6bolt which I couldn't use as I have a 7 bolt. The last box he pulled out was a set of new genuine HKS 272 cams. Now we are talking. But the problem here is that I can only afford one of these (turbo or cams). So what I want to know is, what are some of your guys opinions on which one I should get for my car. I am well aware of what I need to make either one of these to work. The prices are about the same. Thanks!

Now if your set on getting one of those two, go turbo. The cams wouldnt benifit you until you had a larger turbo.

Now if you dont have dsmlink yet, I would get that and forget both of them.

I have link and currently running a 14b. Rest of mods are in my profile. 1000cc injectors are in the works and just need a flange for my EWG setup.

Okay sorry didnt look at your profile. But yeahh deffinitly get the turbo.

I would do the turbo

Yup, 20g. I tuned a car that had a 20g in it and it was breaking traction at 45mph before the turbo was out of air to flow. Have fun.

Also, you can get regrinds from Delta cam or some of the vendors on here (forget which) for much less than the cost of new HKS cams. So you can probably do both if you give up coffee, soda, beer, and/or pizza for a month. If you indulge in those anyway. Seems like both would let you do this

Well I am after top end flow. I am FWD/auto. I started a thread about a Td06h wheel in a 7cm housing not that long ago and got some answers that surprised me. It was suggested that I run a ported 6cm housing. Now I found this turbo for sale I was intrieged. I know the 06 wheel is better up top and the 272 are geared for the upper rpm flow. But I dont know much about the 8cm housing. I do however know the flow of the wheels. To be all honest though its the price of the cams thats making them even a choice here. Sometimes a sweet deal is hard to pass up...

Well I ended up getting the 20g. I cant wait to run this thing and feel the umph on the top end. I hope the td06h wheel isnt too laggy in the 8cm hotside on my auto. Should be a monster on the highway!
