Hks Intake Cam

[adgey]

So I got the usual HKS cams for my car 256 intake and 264 exhaust and also got myself some adjustable cam pulleys.

Here's where my confusion is... I gave said parts to my mechanic to install and he said when he tried to put the intake cam in the bolt patterns didn't match and because I was going adjustable cam pulleys that intake cam wouldn't work.

So I said fair enough just get the cam that I do need...................

on closer inspection of the box of the new cam say rb20 264

stock code of the cam I bought is 2202-RN172 and the new one is 2202-RN174

Is this possible to do? Someone please explain to me what is happening here?!?!

you have an rb20/26 inlet gear. so you need an rb20 cam. The only difference is the front end where the gear bolts up.

Shouldn't you have figured this out before buying stuff?

You're atleast in a position to do a direct comparison between a 264/264 non vct cam combo vs a 256/264 with VCT. I would expect the 256 with VCT will be the choice for drivability.

So there are some HKS cams that will work with NVCS, or they are just designed to work in the RB25 motor? I was under the impression that Tomie Poncams are the only ones suited for NVCS.

Absolutely, I run hks 256/264 in my S1 rb25 and vct still works.

I most definitely should have figured this out before buying stuff but unfortunately just didn't come across the information so bought out of ignorance.

However after receiving the 256 inlet cam I knew I would either be keeping that and having VCT or getting a new cam to run adjustable pulleys.

Thanks for clearing that up for me. My mechanic told me it would work fine but I just like several sources and more importantly a SAU person
