The HKS Camshaft Step 2 264° Intake camshaft is engineered to enhance the engine's air intake and exhaust efficiency, improving performance at higher RPMs. It is designed specifically for the Nissan SR20DET engine, offering a balance between daily drivability and high-performance output, ideal for use in closed-circuit racing or high-performance driving.
Camshaft Type: Intake
This camshaft is specifically designed for the intake side of the SR20DET engine, optimizing airflow into the combustion chamber to boost engine performance at higher RPMs.
Duration: 264°
The 264-degree duration is designed to improve the engine's breathing at mid to high RPMs, making it suitable for applications where higher power output is required.
Maximum Valve Lift: 12.0mm
This camshaft allows for a maximum valve lift of 12.0mm, improving intake and exhaust flow for better performance.
Valve Timing:
Open Timing (ATDC): 9°
Close Timing (ABDC): 45°
Lobe Center (ATDC): 108°
Total Duration (1mm lift): 234°
Maximum RPM:
This camshaft is optimized for use with engines that operate up to 8,000 RPM, making it ideal for motorsports and high-performance applications. It works with the stock hydraulic lash adjuster and HKS upgraded valve springs (Part No. 22001-AN002).
Hydraulic Lash Adjuster Compatibility:
This camshaft is compatible only with engines that use the stock hydraulic lash adjusters, ensuring smooth operation without excessive noise or wear.
Design Focus:
Developed specifically for closed-circuit driving, the Step 2 camshaft is intended for motorsport enthusiasts and those seeking significant engine performance improvements.
Valve Springs: Must use HKS upgraded valve springs (Part No. 22001-AN002) for optimal performance and durability.
Clearance: Ensure the cylinder head bearing and cam journal are free of scratches or debris before installation. Clean thoroughly and replace any damaged components.
Valve Timing Adjustments: Adjusting the valve timing may provide further performance gains. Fine-tuning the timing can help achieve better power characteristics depending on engine specifications.
Recommended Components: For those pushing high RPMs regularly, pairing this camshaft with the HKS head system and HKS rocker arm stopper is advised for additional reliability.
