ClubCJ - The CJ Lancer Club

Hi guys,

I am doing some more work to my car I have it booked in 2 weeks from now, I'm High flowing the Turbo and installing new cams.

I was just wondering if anyone out there has used Brian Crowler 272 cams my mechanic said they work really well and they are a good price but I cant find a good review on them just looking for some feed back.

Never heard of them myself. I know people more use Tomei PonCams or the GSC Cams

Should give you about 5 - 10kw gain with the high flowed turbo at high RPM.

Thats how much I gained at least when I had the Tomei ones in the old RA

Welcome!

My car has 210kw at the wheels atm and my mechanic reckons with the cams and the high flowed turbo i will be at 250kw - 260kw with my current mods.

So i think it will be more the 10kw I hope LOL

I will put the dyno graph up once I've done it.

Crower have been around for ages, don't know any evo/ra guys who have used them but the ss goons use them. To add another option Kelford is worth a look.

Cams and turbo will be an expensive way to hit 250+kw from 210. e85 will be the easiest/most cost effective option but you probably won't quite get there. Post what mods you have so far and maybe someone can suggest something else but 210 sounds like you've done all the standard bolt ons.

Cams will change and shift the power curve, but it really depends on what you want, do you want the nice lope of the sound of good cams or do you want a set amount of power?

Hi Efod3,

Current mods are:

invidia Q300 3″ Stainless steel exhaust (full)

Stainless steel 02 Turbo outlet

Mishimoto Upper intercooler pipe.

K N Airfilter to the box

Walbro fuel pump

Exedy HD Clutch


Other than that its stock.


The shop I've been talking to are charging me the below:

Upgraded Hi-flow 712 Turbo ( change over basis ) - $ 1490 - includes shipping .

Brian Crowler 272 degree Camshaft set - $ 880 (Im going to see how much for Kelford I think with Kelford you also need to add on the springs)

Labour to fit Turbo and BC Camshafts - $ 1150


Total for above : $ 3,520


If i could get to the 250kw at the wheels for less I would love know how? because I'm also saving to get coil overs .

Sounds alright, you've ticked all the boxes and this setup should get you 250. I assume installation will be followed by a tune, talk to the tuner first, apparently there's a decent one (or two) in Melbourne. Injectors are something to consider.

Where are you getting the work done? Vic people may be able to offer something regarding them, I can't.

Cams wise GSC Stage 1's don't require springs either, as an option, and might be a little cheaper.

In a way it's a nice dilemma to have.
