Has anyone installed the cosworth camshafts. I looking to build my evo just saving up some money and i want the best avaible parts for my ride. Looking for some advice.

 

GSC has some nice cams and it will save you money over the cost of the cosworth name?

 

thanks for the info ill look them up

 

look for a high lift camshaft. I went with comp 280's. Shouldve gotten JUN 272's or revolvers / tomie's or pipers tho

 

Pm me for cosworth high lift m2 camshafts. I run them in my EVO8 and they make great power.

 

Anything higher then a 10.8 lift on a stock turbo your going to start to lose power on topend. I have the hks 280 and they are about the same as the 272 and they work great i put some cosworth's on a budys car and we have almost the same setup Aem and all i let him download my map in his car and he i put down 410whp on stock turbo while he only put down 375 becasue of the higher lift we redid the map a lil and only got 6whp more that is after 10 tune's later. Idles better then my car afr and damn near flat when at wot. The cams are just to high of a lift. Now when he put the 30R on the car the cams worked like a champ now he has 475whp at 25 psi with 100oct. and 462whp on pump with the same psi

 

thanks for the info those are some good cams then

 

Cosworth recommends getting these cams degreed, FYI.

I am loking into these, but am in the information gathering stage. If they are installed wrong, you will see less power than HKS.

 

what do you mean degreed im confused.

 

You need to use a degree wheel to set these cams up properly for the street, per Cosworth.

 

ok i see i was gonna the guys at works install them

 

Get some HKS or Buddy Club 272's and you will be fine.

 

sorry to go a little ot, but iirc, there are 2 types - M1 and M2 right?
so what's the difference? {from a stock turbo perspective}.

 

I'm pretty sure the M2's are higher lift. Not sure about the duration. But here's the real info:

altvalet - thanks for the links. I'm really after the 'real world' experience with these cams. I'm really not as well versed in cams as to be able to tell their performance by them dimensions.... (yet)
