i am working on a turbo build...in a way. Im slowly buying pieces to put it together, im in no rush lolz. I am questioning the exhaust side camshaft. Seeing as im using the VVT-i head i am questioning how big of a cam i can use. Will it be ok to use a 272 or do i have to use a smaller cam so i can stay close to the intake side cam?

 

i was wondering the same thing. i wanted to run both sides 272. when i had my dsm i was running 280s with stock valve springs and it handled it fine, but im not too familiar with the 2jz just yet

 

well i know you cant do both because intake side is for the VVT-i. therefore it makes the head pointless to run. And whether it is interchangeable even i doubt.

 

i dont really car about the vvt-i, i just want power

 

LOLZ just use a supra 2JZGTE head then it will be easier and help with the power.. I just like the VVT-i head

 

Look up the Brian Crower 264 or 272 camshafts for VVTI GE. You will need upgraded valve springs for the 272s though. Good luck.

 

im a newb to the 2jz, does a supra head bolt directly onto the ge bottom end? if so thats what im doing

 

yes that is a direct bolt on. and from there the sky is the limit and when i say sky i mean how much the bottom end will hold up which i doubt is alot unlike the supra bottom end.

 

thanks your very knowledgable about these cars. i purchased a HKS 272 today and valve springs for the exhaust side. i wasnt planning on it but it was too good of a deal to pass up

 

Sweet dude.
Whats next plans?

 

Idk man my plans are a boosted Is300 and a manual swap. but im not in any rush at all so Im just looking at stuff and if i find a good deal on something i will purchase it but i dont have tons of money to just buy everything at once so its just an ongoing project that will get put together one day. Im going for looks as of now cause its my DD

 

may as well just do a full gte swap

 

well in theory that seems easier, but in reality its WAY to expensive. Why pay $5500ish for a full gte swap when you already have a 2jz? With all that money youll save you have forged internals and top shelf everything else
