Glosphil Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 What is the expected benefit from installing cams into a BPU car? and will the standard ECU cope with it? Recommendations for a fast road/odd track day car. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 People have used cams without changing fueling and ignition but in my opinion to get the most from them you should adjust both. EDIT Benefit: better breathing up top, more air and more fuel equals more power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 256in / 264ex for fast road on stock based turbo's.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 I fitted in256/ex264 cams when BPU, it gave noticeable improvements in mid to top end power. I had the emanage fitted at the same time which as Wes says, helps get the best out of the cam swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glosphil Posted December 13, 2007 Author Share Posted December 13, 2007 And would these still be ok for when I go single? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Stock Cams PHR Stage 1 (60-1) Same car with HKS 264/264 - lower boost, boost control not finished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 And would these still be ok for when I go single? Yes they'll be ideal for a T61, GT35R, etc. sized turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris and Alana Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Would installing larger cam's still retain the gap between pistons and valves (keeping it a non-interference engine)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 I think until you go past 272 you are fine, still non interference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 You have 10mm of clearance in total on stock pistons. The 256/264's use about 9mm's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucky40 Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 I noticed Whifbitz are advetising the Brian Crower Cams, wondering if anyone has considered these?? They seem a fair bit cheaper than the HKS ones? are they just as good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 AFAIK only the MK III cams are available so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D3xt3r Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Check out Piper Cams they have cams for the 2JZ too and they are really great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Check out Piper Cams they have cams for the 2JZ too and they are really great. No cams for the Supra engine listed on their site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveL Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 I noticed Whifbitz are advetising the Brian Crower Cams, wondering if anyone has considered these?? They seem a fair bit cheaper than the HKS ones? are they just as good? ... I was going to use these in mine, but they haven't finished manufacturing them yet. They seem to be about 6 months behind in producing them - so I went for HKS ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
