i personally found the differences between them to be marginal in everyday use ..

chris - thank you also, will give you a shout shortly to chat ?

thanks 4 the reply monkey. matt plumbed mine into the regular washer bottle but was told to get a mk 2 or 3 escort bottle that would fit nicely between the battery n the front bumper (?). since i got the EGT gauge done at the same time, i am unaware of temp differences. on WOT, i hit about 920-950 (1.2ish) ... methinks this may be a little too high maybe ?

ah ... thank you for that. bah ... more bloody homework !

you da man ! give you a bell in a mo' ...ta

oh dear ... well, i tried ...

monkey - IIRC, you have the erl system in yours ? if so, have you noticed any temp differences after installation ? are you using methanol if you have the system ?

so the safc needs tweaking ... ? what about the FSE ? thanks

so one of CW's jobbies, toyota stockers, any other suggestions ?

so am i correct in saying theoretically it can be done ? does aything need adjusting ?

anyone know what stock toyota UK spec springs cost ?

inteferance ? is there a simple description of what this means plz? sorry but am a techless moron ....

200sx - ah ha - now there's a thought ! whats pi keron ?

steve - my thoughts exactly, you are a man after my own hear ... err i mean stomach !! i think stock toyota springs are a bit too cushiony ? i am after something that is a tad firmer yet not too hard (god, i am hopeless at describing things!) any after market ones that you guys are aware of or used ?

wez - i thought so too ... dandan - as far as i can recall, swopping over to the 264's caused me no driveability issues at all ie no lumpiness or rough idle normally associated with a higher lift duration cam profile (at idle, there is very little burbling). i am not sure why but i do know that at 150+ leptons, the car was still pulling quite strongly .. hence i have gained top end with no discernible low down loss although i must admit i was expecting some. i have a Hiper exhaust, fully DeCatted, Walbro/SAFC/FSE, ERL W.I., Blitz SUS filter and a HKS 'S'-type Intercooler aside from the cams and running about 1.25 on max boost ian - thanks for the reply as i was hoping for your input on this. i take your point re the intrinsic value of this idea circa the 350 pounds. i was wondering if i kept the profiles staggered like you have ie 264 in and 272 out if this would alleviate any possible lumpiness (foreseeably) as well keep low down power in a useable band ? i can understand a total swop to both 272's would curb low down power but was hoping a staggered approach may not ? are there any possible problems with using a HKS 264 in cam and a JUN 272 ex cam ? thank you edit : just saw your reply gaz ... thanks. am just trying to figure out the ins and outs of this at the mo' ...

why a pile of poo ? is it to do with other ancillaries that need to be tweaked/adjusted to do it right or is it a matter of configuration that would make this all wrong ? i went from stock jap cams to both the 264's with barely a murmur of difference (even an untuned safc! but with pump/regulator done prior) so was wondering if i swopped out the 264 ex for a 272 jobbie, the differences would not be that much ? or am i (as usual) missing something here ?

anyone care to venture an opinion even ?

so just the springs then ? if thats the case, what springs are recommended ? for a firmish ride without too much movement yet flexible enough to deal with bumps, potholes n the rest ?

bah - so did i until terry gave me a lecture and an earful one day ! now i know they are 2 different things .......repeat after me class, springs and shocks are 2 DISTINCT items !

big - don't worry unless you have a very low front lip/spoiler. the ride on the eibachs are pretty good IMO ... my problem stems more from the car-wash / petrol station/ house driveway / tescos/ kebab shop places near my house that i frequent. seems like they've ganged up on me and suddenly raised the road !! i seem to be scraping / banging everywhere and this is really starting to piss me off ! especially the kebab wallahs joint !!

sorry guys - i mistakenly typed in konis when describing my current set-up, i meant to say eibachs. i have edited that typo ...

can i just change the springs on my current set-up (bilstein/eibach) to increase the ride height of the car. this is to prevent the front lip from catching on things and breaking it is it just a matter of swopping springs or is there anything else that needs to be done ? thanks

is it possible to run a 264 in cam and a 272 ex cam ? if so, how much difference will this make ? what else needs to be done to support this if at all ? is there anything to take note of / be wary of ? hoping from input from the technically gifted ones eg terry, CW, ian, dude (even!). thanks guys ... edit : is it ok to run one hks cam and one jun cam ?
