I am going to be adding a set of 272 camshafts to my evo IX MR. I have narrowed it down to either Cosworth or HKS. What does the forum recommend and I am concerned with the reliability and performance.

I appreciate everyones help.

 

both are great cams hks at idle is a little harsh.

 

you can't go wrong with both..

For street, I prefer the HKS 264s

for track, either HKS 272s or Cosworth 272s. But you need to upgrade the valvetrain when go with Cosworth 272s.

 

im too lazy to search... does anyone have the specs on both to compare????

 

How about GSC S1 for the IX?

 

My preference is HKS 264 intake 272 exhaust

 

Cosworth 272 M2's do not require valvetrain upgrade under 8000rpms. We have tested them on many cars. 11.7-11.9's in the 1.4 mi on 93 octane and TTP Engineering reflash.

I would pass on the HKS. No one uses them, lift is relatively low. More power can be extracted using Cosworth M2's.

We have COSWORTH units in stock ready to ship same day as order and at the best pricing available.

 

Cosworth have an 11mm lift where as HKS is a 10.8.

HKS simply used the Evo 8 exhaust cam and converted the intake to handle the MIVEC on the evo9.

On my dyno HKS always underperform vs Cosworth. Which you choose is up to you.

what about the crower cams or buddy club?
just a question i hear the best things from the cosworth and GSC's.

 

Cosworth lift is 11mm on both intake/exhaust.

HKS is 10.8/10.2.

 

Very happy with my Cosworth M2s Great power and it doesnt idle rugh at all. I dont have upgraded valvetrain and I dont need to rev high because the power is down low. 373hp on 93oct does the talking for power output.

 

whos dyno did u use?

 

i like my hks cams

 

interested in my s1's were ruled out? a set of hks 272/280's is very nice also!

 

S1's are not available in the market at this time.
