Scott Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 As above really. They won't be on show or anything like that so I'm just wondering if there is any real advantage to having them over stock ones when it comes to the 2JZ.

Wez Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 If you want to fine tune your cam timing then yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 If you want to fine tune your cam timing then yes And if you don't. Then, yes, because they still look coooooool. Colour coding, Scott, come on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I searched for cam gears and cam pulleys though lol. I remember seeing something a few years back but I couldn't remember much on it. Thanks for the link regardless If you want to fine tune your cam timing then yes Yeah, this was what I was looking for clarification on. I wasn't really sure how necessary it was or how much of a difference it would make. If it would make a positive step towards reliability, strength etc or whether it would make no odds. Having searched a bit it seems like a sensible move to make so I'm going for it. Watched a couple of videos to get my head around it all and it makes perfect sense to do so And if you don't. Then, yes, because they still look coooooool. Colour coding, Scott, come on! Lol, of course I'm buying colour coded ones..... but I have the stock sparkplug cover so they won't be seen...... for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandan Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 If you are fitting after market cams then I'd say they're pretty much essential to get them dialled in correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I went for JUN over HKS as I preferred the design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it was the little bit of googling I did that showed me just how far out they can be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted August 14, 2011 Author Share Posted August 14, 2011 I went for JUN over HKS as I preferred the design. I won't be going with HKS due to them only having 3 fixing points. The ones I am looking at are fairly cheap Ebay ones, but I can't see that being an issue given the mechanics of them. Made from billet aluminium so I'm happy with that. 5 fixing points and the oh so important red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted August 14, 2011 Author Share Posted August 14, 2011 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TOYOTA-SUPRA-1JZ-2JZ-GTE-ADJUSTABLE-VERNIER-CAM-PULLEYS-/230640511774?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item35b33eeb1e That's the ones there I have been keeping an eye on. The only thing I'm not too sure about is the quality of the allen screws. They don't look too clever, easily sorted though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandan Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 You'll not likely damage the allen key bolts (the hex or thread) before you strip the aluminium body thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
