What is the primary benefit of Stage 2 camshafts with a 264 spec?

Stage 2 camshafts with a 264-degree duration spec allow for a longer valve open time. This results in improved airflow into and out of the engine cylinders, which can lead to increased power and torque, especially when combined with other performance modifications.

What other modifications are typically needed when installing these camshafts?

Installing performance camshafts like these often requires supporting modifications such as an upgraded turbocharger, a high-flow exhaust system, and an engine management system for tuning. It's also recommended to check and potentially upgrade valve springs and retainers to handle the increased demands.

Are these camshafts compatible with all 1.8T engines?

These camshafts are specifically designed for Volkswagen and Audi 1.8T engines. While they are a direct replacement for stock camshafts, it is always best to confirm compatibility with your specific engine code and vehicle model before purchase.

Product Details

Brian Crower Stage 2 camshafts for Volkswagen and Audi 1.8T engines are a solid option if you're looking to get more out of your turbocharged four-cylinder. These camshafts feature a 264-degree duration spec, which means they stay open longer, allowing more air and fuel into the cylinders and more exhaust out. This is a common upgrade for enthusiasts who have already made other modifications like a larger turbocharger, improved exhaust, and tuning, and want to maximize the engine's breathing capabilities.

Brian Crower is known for well-built valvetrain components, and these camshafts are no exception. They are designed to be a direct replacement for your stock camshafts, though it's important to note that installing performance camshafts like these often requires supporting modifications and a proper engine tune to achieve optimal results and ensure reliability. The 264 spec is a popular choice for a street-driven car that also sees track time or frequent spirited driving, offering a noticeable improvement in powerband without making the car too difficult to drive in traffic. You'll want to ensure your valve springs and retainers are up to the task, as these camshafts will likely demand more from them.

When installing these camshafts, it's crucial to follow the manufacturer's recommended installation procedures and torque specifications. A proper tune is essential to take full advantage of the camshafts' potential and to prevent any engine damage. Keep in mind that these camshafts are not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. For any questions regarding installation or what other components you might need to complete your build, please consult the Brian Crower installation guide or contact our support team.
