Yeah, HKS has been saying that for over 6 months now, haha.

 

Cams baby...have you ever had cams installed on any previous car?

 

nah this will be my first cam install, in my evo, so i guess HKS 272 is the choice on the exhaust side is my choice imma go with, but i keep on thinking about 280'z with there WHP gain? Let me know

 

After all that from the first page, how in the world did you conclude that you want a single HKS exhaust cam? That doesn't make much sense. Did you miss the part where we told you there were full cam sets available? Doing just an exhaust cam doesn't do anything...

 

He prolly thinks it would add a lil bit of free flow to the head... no biggie...

but if you want power go with both cams...

if you want rough idle.. go with longer duration and higher lift cams.. though you'll need a stiffer valve train.. i dont know wuts available for the IX as of right now.. i guess he just wants input of people who have maybe doen cams on their IX?

 

Evo 8 and a Evo9 are alot different the engine on a 9 can handle more boost andmore power because of the mivec set up, this is why u dont really need both cams but u can if u want to.. i wanted to know what people have done with they're EVO 9'z or people that have knowledge about the 9, also changing the exhaust side with give the evo alot better top end power dats why i was thinking about 280z and 272 is less of an hassle with idle and gives better mid range. but still let me know what u think.

 

+1 on that. What are the stock cams at. and wouldnt 280 be a big jump from stock. i dont know the setup your trying to do sounds kinda iffy. weird combo

 

No, your statements are false. The 9 has the same engine with a different head and different compressor housing on the turbo. It can run more boost efficiently at the same octane level, but that has absolutely NOTHING to do with the cams. I don't know where you got the idea that just doing an exhaust cam would give a lot better top-end, but wherever it is should show you all the dynographs from here where people didn't gain anything.

Also, why are you typing like a gangster thug homey (or a 10-year-old, I can't tell the difference really)?

 

Hey Warr,

If you were to add a cams which one would you go for cosworth or gsc cams?..The reason why i asked you this cuz, im planning to change mine and i have no idea.. which is better?
and this is my set up
works 76 dp
works rtp
hks ti exhaust
works p2r flash

planning mods are
02 housing
ported exhaust manifold

 

whats da **** are u talkin about, i just want to ask about cams, and u wanna act like smart *** calm ur *** down, and where i got that from was AMS in Maryland where they build 600whp evos, look it up.... but anyway i dont know much about GSC cams but those Cosworths look pretty good, does anyone have dynos or anything on there? from Evo IX's

 

wait for the Coworth results to come out. At least that's what i 'm doing...

I am not happy and actually confused with the results of the HKS exhaust cam on the IX, so i don't even bother. Just wait for something that works 100%...

And for me its not the extra horsepower, but the ability to keep the power over 6K.... For example someone achieved 405whp with a stock turbo on a IX but after 6K the power dropped significantly, around 340 at 7K. If you can keep the 400 until 7K then getting the cams is worth it 100%...

 

yeah ur right man... imma wait to and just work on bolt ons cause i my IX just has a HKS carbon Ti cat back.. so imma work on downpipe, EBC and flash... but tryin to figure out where to go from there

 

Yeah, give it more time. More and more people are getting cams for the IX and we should see more posted results about how they are performing.

 

Still can't tell if hes a gangster thug homey or a 10-year-old.

 

Also I BELIEVE that the Evo IX engine is built to closer tolerances in the piston area as it consumes 10% less oil which probably has to due with better rings or possibly better piston design which may have something to do with using different sized plugs then the VIII.

Either way, less blow by and less oil consumption and more resistance to knock=stronger motor.
