RB-GTE Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I have a stock 97 TT 6-speed (pre VVTi model). My goal is just to get my single turbo setup up and running. Once its all done I can always make more upgrades. Like the radiator and other small stuff. I will be running the precision 6265, and my goal will to make around 550 hp to the wheels, but I would be more than happy having it around 500 rwhp also. I am wondering how much power can the stock cams handle. I was thinking of doing everything else first like the fuel system, ECU, turbo... then change the cams afterwards.

nigelboyne Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 i think for that power very little needs changing ie turbo and the clutch +injectors+ ecu. i think cams should be fine for that power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I made 536 rwhp on stock cams, they was really holding the car back though, when i changed to Jun 256's the car felt transformed and made a load more power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2 MSW Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Agree with Jamie, starts to hold back the performance at around the 520 mark. Mine also made a load more power when changing to 264 in 272 ex cams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T2 MSW Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 at what power level would the same happen with uk cams Mine was running stock jspec when it made 520 bhp so it's porob somewhere round the 530 ish mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Going from jspec to HKS 264/264 I gained 50hp with no other mods, the only downside is the power curve will shift to the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigelboyne Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Mine was running stock jspec when it made 520 bhp so it's porob somewhere round the 530 ish mark only 10hp thought it would have been higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanisLupus Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 only 10hp thought it would have been higher. The difference is only in one cam(exhaust afair) and the difference between them isn't that big Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
