The Pursuit of Maximum Camshaft Efficiency
The concept behind the HKS camshafts was to produce something that the customers would be truly happy with. This sounds simple on the surface but this is something very challenging. When the development team looked carefully at the details, the ultimate conclusion they drew was to look at the core purpose of the cam itself (to smoothly allow air into and out of the combustion chamber) and a good cam would do this job for the maximum efficiency.
Variation line-up
SS-CAM (STEP1)
HKS SS-Cam are designed to fit unmodified cylinder heads with stock Valve Springs to be a simple bolt on cam kit that can give added performance without changing any other parts or the valve timing.
By changing cams, cam duration and lift is altered making the ideal valve timing different also. HKS SS-Cams have been tested on the engine bench to find the optimum valve timing and the knock pin has been relocated in a modified position to offer perfect valve timing by simply replacing stock cams with no need for measurement or adjustment.
STEP2 / STEP3 (Pro)
STEP2
Offering more power over SS-Cams through increased lift. However, strengthened Valve Springs (RB26 also require Piston recess modification and Cam clearance on head) are required.
STEP2 / STEP3 (Pro)
Camshafts designed for further power and high rpm use over step 2. The following parts will be necessary for installation: (SR20) HKS Lash Killer Kit, Need to change the strengthened Valve Springs.
The new camshaft for PS13, RPS13 is out. The concept is same “the best factory replacement camshaft”. We have developed it with the newest profile design and through comparison test of HKS products and other companies’ products. Experience the HKS power!
Feature
As you can see in the graph, for 6000 RPM and above, the output is bigger, so for circuit drive you will have wide range of power band. And when you are driving you can feel the power till rev limit.
By reviewing the profile, we could employ the 11.5mm STEP2 lift to the stock Valve Spring (maximum RPM: stock rev limit)
If you want more than rev limit RPM changing the strengthen Valve Spring will let you have it. (maximum RPM:8000 RPM)
In case there is no NVCS, we have set the valve timing for enough torque for the power at a high RPM. Depending on your need, with slide cam sprocket to adjust valve timing, you can have more control on torque.
