Anyone here use a Delta 272 cam on their turbo A6/ZC?
this cam has 48 degrees of overlap is this too much for turbo setup?

here are the specs on it:

Intake & exhaust
Lobe center sep = 117 Cam deg
Valve overlap = -48 Cranck deg

Intake
Valve opening = -24 'btdc
Lobe center = 116.8 'atdc
Valve closure = 21.4 'abdc
Duration = 177.4 Cranck deg
Max cam lift = .22547 in.
Net valve lift = .33821.
Lobe 'area' = 15.35 in * deg

Exhaust
Valve opening = 33.5 'bbdc
Lobe center = 117.2 'btdc
Valve closure = -24 'atdc
Duration = 189.5 Cranck deg
Max cam lift = .24827 in.
Net valve lift = .3724.
Lobe 'area' = 17.65 in * deg

 

i was planning on running the 272 cam profiles on my dohc zc ....

when i talked to the guy he said that the 272 is good for up to like 10-12psi of boost or so and that for anything more than that it'd be too much

but then again, it is a regridn and regrinds can only do so much

if you have more material and ---- welded onto it then it grinded that a diff story...but yah

i'll stop blabbing.

so recap: I'm planning on using it on my zc, only lookin at 10-12pis boost though...and im only lookn for 200ish whp for right now

 

do you know of anyone actually using it with turbo?
I heard its great na but i havent heard of anyone using it in a FI application...
on a DOHC you can get cam gears and tune the cams to have less overlap if you're going turbo, on a SOHC the only way to get less overlap is to get different cam profile

 

I know alot of the accord guys use delta for their f22's. Maybe one of them can tell you. I'm kinda interested myself how boost and my delta cam is going do........
