They're HKS for sure (look at them closely and you'll see the logo) and I believe Matt looked up the part # and learned they're 264's. He thought he was buying HKS 280's.

Re: My Evo

The colored cams are GSC and the others are HKS. GSC S2s and HKS mystery cams. One HKS cam (intake?) has the exact part number of a 264, but the other has no reference.

Re: My Evo

I wish I could have taken video of the look on Matt's face last night when we fired it up! This car is definitely transformed from a mild-mannered evo to a nasty mean and manly machine! The cams sound absolutely epic at idle, and the motor free revs quite aggressively. I spent a few minutes getting it to idle (sorta) and we did a quick bit of logging, but the car kept blowing couplers on the side of the road (stock UICP and crap clamps) so ....we were both absolutely toast from a long two days (helped Mark move on Thursday, gahhh!) so we just called it a night. Still need to put in his 850's, then back to shane before the cruise.

Thanks spaz for the motivation to hurry up and finish...whether it was because you helped turn a few wrenches or because I wanted you to stfu about your cars, I'm not sure! LOL!

Good times, we ran into no probs aside from the coupler thing.....I'll let Matt share his thoughts.

Dizzle get some good clamps on that beast!

Re: My Evo

Wow, I'm alive. Definitely an exhausting 2 days between working on the car and helping Mark and Ali move.

During the drive home the car idled fine when I came to a stop so who knows what was going on there. Need to get an intercooler pipe kit ordered and a small battery kit, install the bigger injectors then it's ready for the dyno. Already have time planned with Shane on Tuesday 4/12.

Thanks to scheides for taking time out of his life to help out with this, and even bigger thanks to Anna for putting up with it all and letting me use her car to run around and pick up parts.

Re: My Evo

Ya dude I say get some tbolt clamps (from napa or wherever) for now and then worry about piping later. No need to stress about the hoses blowing off, you should be able to flog on it endlessly w/o that being a concern.

There's always a big list of stuff to want, but I think with a bit more maintenance and little stuff you'll have a solid setup to rock teh cones!

Did you hit the rev limiter yet?

No, I don't want to blow a hose off. I've just been taking the longest routes everywhere with the most amount of stoplights so I can hear it idle.

Revving under bridges with the windows rolled down? Yeah, I use to have a motorcycle with a D&D exhaust. Sweet.

Too late. Didn't even think about this, was out running errands all afternoon.

Of all the videos on Youtube of an Evo idling with GSC S2s nothing compares to hearing it in person.

Here's the best video I've found.

Nice. I can't wait to get cams in the 240. I got used to the HKS 272 lope, and the stock 240 cams idle way too smoothly.

Re: My Evo

I swear I'm smelling coolant but I can't see it leaking from anywhere. If anything it's from the thermostat housing or one of the hoses back there.

Re: My Evo

Excess coolant that spilled when removing the head? After I fixed my coolant leak I could smell it burning off for the next few days.
