what cams can i use for the 2jzge

most of these guys are gonna say go turbo dont waste your money on any n/a build...its not worth it...and i would have to agree...hopefully ill be na-t by mid next year..good luck on your build whatever you decide

Only the intake cam can be "upgraded" in the 2JZ-GE. You could, however, have a new custom grind done on both cams. I wouldn't call the mod worthless, since you will see some gains and it will also help out a lot with any future NA-T upgrade.
What, exactly, do you mean by "smaller" cams? Do you mean a shorter duration and/or less valve lift? Please explain.
I don' t know why anyone would put the GE cams into their GTE, since the exhaust cam from the GE has the helical gearing for the dizzy. Either way, cam gears are removable, and I could be wrong but I believe they'll work just fine for a stock GTE cam gear replacement. Furthermore, I've heard a lot about HKS cam gears wearing down. The teeth get rounded and whoops your timing belt just skipped!
However, I would definitely worry about a turbo install before worrying about cam upgrades.

installing a JDM 2jzgte.. they have smaller cams than the USDm 2jzgte. Would it be beneficial to use the NA cams from my 93 2jzge instead? I have HKS gears to dial them in.

you know alot people say that the 2jzge head flows more then the 2jzgte head cause of the cam's and needs to flow more casue there's no force induction like the turbo motor. i know that if you put a n/a intake cam from a 7mge which is the mk3 n/a motor to a 7mgte turbo motor thats a upgrade and really helps flow so not sure if it is the same way on the 2j motors never really looked
