2jzge cams in 2jzgte head?

[robert.beltran91]

Does anyone know if the 2jzge non vvti cams fit in a 2jzgte non vvti? found this forum on my question kinda.... http://forum.clubna-t.com/showthread.php?t=2499
This forum is talking about the vvti variation though... only reason why i'm asking is because there a billions of lexus 2jzge cars in my local junk yards and i could pick them up for like $50 and my 2jzgte does not have cams.
any and all info greatly appreciated

Surprised you didn't find an answer on NA-T's forums... NA cams (at least 7m) have really low torque peaks, but really fall on their face with higher rpm. Not sure if this is the same on the JZ's though, sure someone on here can verify that though.

really hope so i been looking all over and that forum was the closest answer that i found i'm sure if the vvti fit then the non vvti must fit?

Can't use 2JZGE cams in a GTE. That cam won't have the pick up necessary for the Cam sensor on the side of the head?

 

[robert.beltran91]

that sucks gotta buy $800 cams now haha thanks for the info man

Have a set of stock GTE cams if you want.

Can find stock gte cams for much less than 800$

 

[robert.beltran91]

I had completely forgotten about that, that's right...the JZGTE cams use a sensor that picks up cam revolutions where the GE engines use a distributor gear. Thanks for the correction Andy, I feel kinda forgetful sometimes.

Remember now, I wrote the huge JZ thread, so I know a thing or two and I elaborated on everything and web corrected some info.

I wonder who stickied it, it was a sticky within a few minutes of posting it. Just did an update to it two days ago.

Remember - you have to pay to play. Don't be a typical Mk3 owner and cheap out.

Never ever cut corners, not with these cars. They demand your full attention. Cheap out on anything, and it *will* bite you in the ass.

I'll vouch for this. Do it right or you'll end up doing it again... Ask anyone who's blown a 7m, fixed it, then blown it again because they didn't take the time. :nono:

It's precisely why my red one is still off the road - until i get an FPR for it, it's going NOWHERE. Not driving it on the stock regulator.
