VRTrickster 0 Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Im soon to be fitting some 264 camshafts with a port matched mani and reprofiled TB. I was just wondering if later on down the line when I want to say supercharge or turbo it, would I have to take my cams out?Has anyone supercharged with 264s ? Link to post Share on other sites
matth76 1 Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Hi mate it is possible to supercharge or turbo the vr6 with 264's or even 268's. It requires a spot on remap but yes it is possible. Quite a few people do it regularly in the states... if you post a question on vwvortex.com they will give you a lot of info as many on that forum have done it. Link to post Share on other sites
mightyvr6 0 Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 I think minty who used to come on the forum had 264s with an s/c. I think the guy who bought his car posts on here too but can't remember his username. Link to post Share on other sites

VRTrickster 0 Posted May 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Sorry what do you mean it doesn't help setup? What other mods and engine setup do you have if you dont mind me asking mate ? Link to post Share on other sites
FishWick 21 Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 I wouldn't bother Trickster. Mine makes 290 with the standard cams. I'd go for 248s personally. Only 10hp more at the top end, if that, but they do give a good midrange punch. Link to post Share on other sites
jon@vagworx 0 Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Yours is a 2.9 kev It doesn't help setup, means its a bit trickier to map it correctly.Erm, thats about it engine wise, apart from 130k lol.It was 291 with a badly blowing zorst, so possibly a touch more, but i don't really want to get into a figure frenzy :@ So, baisically what i'm saying is put em in mate and if you do want to go sc in the future you won't have wasted your hard earned Link to post Share on other sites
FishWick 21 Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Yeah that's true, LOL!. That 70 odd CC difference doesn't make much difference anyway. We all know the OBD2 2.8 makes the same as an OBD1 2.9 :-)Vince was saying the 2.9 squish area being larger than the 2.8s doesn't lend itself that well to charging. The 2.8s seem sweeter in both N/A and charged form to me. I'm not a great fan of the 2900 tbh. I can't see the point of it. VW should have just 3 litred it from the start :-)Anyway, yeah it is harder to map forced induction with sport cams as you have overlap to consider, but you can get some nifty vernier sprockets for VRs which should help get it spot on.
