VeedubVR 0 Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 looking at 268 cams. Been told they will work with both and NA and turbo's engines (F>I at a later date)but which brand to go forschricktechtonicsschimmelDRCAll seem to have good ratings on the forums from what ive readalso read about people having to change valve springs, head gaskets and a remap when changing cams.... ? thanks Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Schricks for me, yes they will work with both engine types, and you don't have to change any of the other bits iirc and you don't need a remap but the car will benefit from one and if you get a UM map it can be done to include any further mods I believe to save on future costs Link to post Share on other sites
VeedubVR 0 Posted December 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 So where's the best place to buy them from?the exhaust ive got will be fine (hardly any restrictions and a decent diameter)people said the power band will be about 3500, but it seems to be pick up best around there atm....

Ben Seabrook 4 Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 USA if you can find a mate to send them for you, otherwise keep trawling the classifieds mate as new they are uber expensive ! Yeah I went for 263's as they come in earlier and suited my style of driving but 268's are good too a bit less lairy I think but good Link to post Share on other sites
VeedubVR 0 Posted December 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 i thought the 263s would be less lairy than the 268s.... reading a few comments on vwvortex and apparently a guy (with 268 cams) pulled lengths on his mates vr (with 263 cams)Yeah i nearly fell off my seat when i saw the price of schrick cams new! $1000 Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Lower the number more low down torque etc so lairier on a vr which is lazy at low revs etc don't need more torque at higher revs when the vr is naturally in its power band anyway and yeah they are damn pricy new ! The dougherty racing cams are a good price new but i have no experience with them Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 For me 268s are better if left NA 263s if you wanna go FI later.Tho im usually wrong in Bens eyes anyway as he likes telling me off.Its because he likes the spooning when we make up lol Link to post Share on other sites
cabrioman 6 Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 The dougherty racing cams are very good from what i have heard .. think they are the ones i have in my car ??!! you only really need to change the springs and followers if you are going to a high revving flame spitting monster or if you have the head off and apart and the money !!

Antihero1981 8 Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 yeah for the price DR cams are the best , 263/264 as they can be used on normal and charged , and they are not to lumpy Link to post Share on other sites
