i just sold a 272/280 set to a guy who was tuned by AL and made really good power. We opted to go with that set when we spoke with him because he wanted good power but didnt want to sacrifice Idle quality as much as the 280's do. you'll still have a lopey idle but most likely wont stall

 

which one on which side (intake/exhaust)?

 

272/280 = 272 intake/280 exhaust

 

thanx for the info. anyone with dyno charts? more info.?

 

I really think that the 280/280 setup is for those who are having bigger turbo. Straight 272/272 is good enough, all top end. But if you want to have a little of both... go with the 264/272 setup

 

Hey Nolimitmotorsports,
Would a Tomei 260in-270ex work with the higher lift on a stock turbo setup?

 

264/272

 

well i am planning on going with a evo9-20G tme from buschur, so i guess i am gonna go with the 272/280 combo.

hey nolimitmotors, do you have any more info on the car that is using this combo. i.e. mods, and dyno charts?

 

I think you'll be more satisfied with the 272/272 or the 264/272 combo. I have the TME as well, and couldn;t be any happier with the 264/272 combo.

ask around first before getting it... just an advise

 

I run the 272/280 combo. I use to run straight 272's, I felt no difference adding the 280 exhaust, nor did I show any additional hp on the dyno.

 

interesting..maybe 272/272 not minding idle is the way to go on stock turbo...but i think if a small upgrade 272/280 would be perfect and big turbo upgrades 280/280....makes sense...and obviously the 264/272 for those who dont want a change in idle...

 

was your graph the same all the way across the board, or did you gain alittle more in the higher rpms?

 

cam choice depends on your plans. Are you going to stay with your stock turbo? Are you going to road race? Are you going to drag race? Are you going to use your car as a daily driver? What type of boost do you plan to run? Does idle quality matter? Do you like mid-range torque or high end hp? I'm sure there are other questions, but you'll need to have a good understanding of what you are looking for, before making cam choices. Various cam durations will always be a compromise in performance, whether it's low end torque vs. high end hp, but it'll be a compromise. So my suggestion would be to decide what you want to do with the car, what level of mods you plan on doing, and then decide on cams. If you answer the questions posed in this post, it'll help some of the people with cam experience offer assistance.

I have 264's with a 6.5 TME (basically a stock turbo), idle quality is important to me, and I don't like lope. My car is a daily driver, doesn't see a trace but maybe once a year, and I average about 18,000 miles per year. I love the twisties so response was important to me, and any shannanigans with "other" cars is usually from a roll instead of a dead stop, so again response was important to me. Hence the 264 choice for my taste. Just depends on what you're looking for, so if you could be a bit more specific, I think you'll get more than enough responses.

And yes, a 272/280 combo will work.

 

just got 280s straight and get it tuned... cams = higher degree more airflow...more power...obvisouly 280s give you the most power...but the idle may be a little too much for the hyper sensitive evo owners out there... i've heard an evo with 280's straight idle and it's not that bad....doesn't stall out...and has top end for days... i'm doing 280's straight...

 

Pruven performance i think has 272/280 on their evo
