BluesMaster what other mods do you have to go along with those 264's. If I run 19-20psi will I need to upgrade my fuel system. Also, will I notice an improvement in performance with the cams without having boost at 22psi and upgraded fuel system.
Thanks

Since you live in Texas you probably won't experience fuel cut due to cooler weather as much as we do up north. 264 cams work best if you are keeping stock turbo. You feel the cams at higher rpm's. It's the combination of the fmic, piping and cams that creates the fuel cut along with cool air. The cams alone won't cause the problem, but you won't get the full benefit of them without higher boost so do the head studs at the same time. Cams alone 15whp. Larger fmic/cams/boost 35-45 whp. I wouldn't do cams alone, it's lots of $ for not much increase, especially at 19-20psi. You don't need to upgrade fuel system or injectors, I did this because I want to be set up for larger turbo. Dynoflash can eliminate boost cut, fuel cut, and raise rev limit for $225+ shipping. That's a lot cheaper than fuel system upgrades. However, the best mod is an experienced tuner with a wideband. I'm fortunate to have Mark Myers at Quantum. When the car is properly tuned, it really flies. The parts alone don't come close without the tuner. Using stock fuel maps of other guys isn't safe. My car was dangerously lean using what I thought were conservative settings.
Call Mark Myers at Quantum with your questions -- he's forgotten more than I'll ever know about import turbo cars. www.quantum-racing.com

thanks for the info, I am trying to find my next step in upgrading. I have 3" turbo back with high flow cat, SAFCII, upper I/C pipe, 1G BOV, MAF pipe, BR filter, and MBC (this is the Buschur stage 1 and 2 along with the boost guage and mini battery). I guess I will go with FMIC and 264's next along with some light 17's.

 

Sounds good Randal

Think i can go for a ride sometime? I wanna see if that will be enough for me
By next spring i think i will try to have cams, boost control, and a front mount.

By the way, the the short shifter is awesome along with that greddy shift knob.

Im getting E manage this weekend. I gotta put the STI in my dust.

 

Mark at Quantum,

Do you really want to use someone who alienates alot of people and generally acts like a jerk as an example or someone to sponsor .... ie "Al". He may have some knowledge to pass on but it is simply cancelled out by attitude and know it all syndrome.

I cannot think of anyone who would cause me to "just say no" to buying product from them than this person... We might want to consider the example we set in sponsoring such people and the negative effect on the business... my 2 cents.

mmlvmm

 

how much are you putting out with your set up ??

 

I have not been to a dyno and have not been to the track with these mods. All I can say is butt dyno #'s and my guess would be in the 70-80WHP gain. I have done tons of mods to different cars so I know more or less. I will try and get some dyno #'s so I can tune it perfectly and see how much I am putting down. Sorry, for not being much help.

 

I am a bit at a loss as to where you got the idea that I sponsor Al. He is a friend of mine and we talk occaisonally about mods and whatnot. He and I talk about what to do next to our cars and what could make more power, etc. I have found that most of all of the fastest EVO's (in the USA) are anxious to talk about what they have tried, etc. so that we may pool our information for collective knowledge. I have an EVO that I just started sponsoring and I have a WRX that I sponsor (12.2 on stock longblock without NOS on a limited budget). Neither one is Al, though.

 

Dear Mark:

Thanks for the clarification... I see your point in talking to anyone who has knowledge, regardless of the source.

 

Amongst the SR20 guys, I'm getting the impression that Tomei cams were made from Jun via as a subsidary. Can't confirm, yet.

 

bump....I'm seeing lots of questions about cams lately, thought this would help.

 

Who got Hks 264 /264 cams in stock right now ?

Anyone know ?

thx's
