SupraTRD_MK4 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Good day Supra owners and knowledgeable people alike I am trying to find an answer to this question of mine. I have a 2jzgte engine in non running condition and I was wondering if the vvti crank timing gear will work on it or not using the std gte non vvti ecu? I know the teeth configuration is different but would this prevent engine start up or have possible rough idle or should I be rest assured that it will work? I read up on the whiftbitz one and he mentions that they weld the pick up plate to it as they come loose on high powered engines. Should read rather loose on 2jz engines as they are a powerful non the less. Anyone tried this or know of anything with regard to this, please chime in.

Chris Wilson Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 No it definitely will not. You must use the correct crank gear. VVTi and none VVTi have totally different trigger patterns. be careful fitting VVTi ones, they are cast in one piece and brittle as hell. None VVTi ones really want some very neat TIG welding to make sure the crimped on star wheel can't come loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraTRD_MK4 Posted May 30, 2018 Author Share Posted May 30, 2018 Thanks Chris. I really appreciate that. Will get it off agents as they the cheapest then see who locally can hook me up with the welds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 The welds (use three or four of them) must be so placed and thin enough not to stop the sprocket seating fully and evenly against the step on the nose of the crank.TIG makes this a lot easier than MIG. Welding is far from vital, it's just a bit of insurance against a problem that sometimes arises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraTRD_MK4 Posted May 30, 2018 Author Share Posted May 30, 2018 Yeah I read that they have the tendency of coming apart. I see whiftbitz sells one but its a bit hefty priced but I guess the welds and the overall product show in the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
