any more info from the VIII's running s2's on a stock turbo or green? i have the s1's now but thinking of upgrading to the s2's but my main concern is will i reap the benefits like the 9 has?

 

We did one on an 03 with a 10.5 hotside and made 351/340 on a dyno dynamics at 24psi not too long ago. The one I had mentioned earlier in the thread.

 

Im still tryin to figure what is Johnbradley's avatar.

 

Looks like a cloth and latex glove holding up a piece of blown-up transfer case?

 

Close...its cloth/latex gloves and a piece of the drivers side of my tranny that was forced out when the center diff blew up shortly after the Tcase detonated.

 

Still don;'t see it...

 

What are the downsides to the S2's on the stock turbo?

 

i'll try and help you out ^my car. i haven't found any draw backs yet and its making alot more torque than i thought it would which is super sweet. i have been throwing around a few ideas on paper and i'm going to bounce them off of aaron when i get a chance

 

Anyone have anymore results to share about stock IX tubo applications running the S2 cams?

 

wow I am late to this thread.

I have been running the GSC S2 cams since just after last christmas.

I have a video of the idling in my sig.

There is a thread on here with a before and after dll graph.

I am very happy with these cams.

 

Exactly seems to me the longer cams would benefit the most with the mivec. I am looking into the S2's as well and would love to see some dyno results with basic mods tuned with stock versus S2's.

 

Yeah me too, I'm thinking about doing S2's with GSC Single Valve Springs + Chro-Molly Retainers.

 

I got my cosworth M3s for my IX...they are not installed yet. But after hours of research I decided to go Costworth. They have been in business for 50 years and have a serious track record...Cosworth makes there OWN cams...they are not a regrind.

Here is a link so you can read about Cosworth. I dont think any other companies can even come close to Cosworths track record.

That's akin to saying that no other beer brewers can come close to Budweiser's track record, so therefore they must brew the best beer.

Regardless, the M3s are not a wise cam choice for a stock EVO head and valvetrain.

 

Yea...I guess I just like 50 year old companies with great track records like that. Im putting valve springs on when I do the cams. I was going to get the M2's. I went with the M3s because I will never have to buy cams again for what Im going to be doing. We should sit down and have a tall cold glass of InBev...whadaya say
