hey guys.
im working on having an adjustable cam gear made for the 5sfe, figured i'd throw it out there, see if anyone else is interested. basicly, it will be a modifyed 5sfe cam gear, much like the ATS racing adjustable cam gears for the 3s. heres a pic of the 3s gears. aaron from ATS has agreed to make me a gear, for 110$. im thinking if we can get 5 or more, we may be able to get a bit of a price break, but i cant garantee it. i am 100% guessing here, but im thinking a 5-10whp gain from it. lets discuss! ![]() -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)

Cam gear timing affects the way the exhaust and intake valves open and close. Ignition timing has nothing to do with this. Adjusting your distributor will not affect cam timing.
What adjustable cam gears do, are they allow you to delay or advance the opening or closing of the intake/exhaust valves. What they do allow you to do is delay the exhaust valves from closing to allow more engine scavanging. They will not affect how long the valves stay open. First generation toyota VVt ( NOT VVTI-L) utilized cam advancements to increase performance of the N/a engines. Cam adjustment alter the stock cam timing to get the most from modifications like upgraded camshafts, headwork, or alterations to compression ratios. |
