aftermarket cams in a 1jzgte

[scottiedawg66]

I had to order a butt load of shims when I did my cams, it was 7 years ago so I do not remember what I used. If I was you I would call up Kurt at Elmhurst Toyota and order through him. They have awesome prices and he is a 1jz / 2jz expert.

Took the head off yesterday and rounded the top of a head bolt but I was able to drill it. After I got the head off I decided to try out the toyo tool, and man it is badass. That tool makes life so easy with the valve train.

I got lucky and didn't have to change one shim

I ended up putting 2jz cams in it. I got a good deal on a set so I couldnt say no. Only waiting for a couple more things then I can put it back in Im so excited!!!!

The Brian Crower's are notorious for having the 'timing' pin incorrect on them, even though they tell you just to install them straight up and run them. Tried that, I actually run one of mine a tooth back on the adjustable cam gear now after taking the valve covers back off and degreeing them correctly.

Just got back to the real world, I was out of contact for a while, how do you like the 2J cams?

I get about -8 psi at idle on the 1J block. Crower large core 272's (10.4mm lift).

No complaints here.

I really like the 2jz cams. Power band is better overall, it just seems like I have more power up top with them.
