New performance camshaft source?

[X-man]

I was reading inthe new Turbo magazine and came across a new product add for camshafts.

Here is the page off the website from www.briancrower.com

Pricing seemed to be about 543.00 for 2 if I read this right.


The 7M-GE and 7M-GTE were both high-performance engines used by Toyota in the 1980's and early 1990's. Only two Toyotas ever featured the engines: the Toyota Cressida and Toyota Supra. Both engines were very advanced for their time. The 7M-GE came standard with the Cressida from 1989-1992, offering loads of power, excellent fuel economy, and proven reliability. The 7M-GTE was simply a turbo version of the 7M-GE offered only in the Supra Mk III and is the more popular engine of choice for tuners. The engines had a 3.0L 24-Valve DOHC Twin Cam setup which provided plenty of power for both the Cressida and Supra. The 7M-GTE is an Inline 6, or "straight 6" engine. The 7M-GE and 7M-GTE were both discontinued sometime after 1992 with the demise of the Cressida in North America.

other options are always good

<--wonders if this is the stuff PHR used to carry.

Thanks Sean, I always see their ads in magazines but never looked into it.... good to know that there are more choices coming up all the time.

I like how you can get your engine internals from one source, and know all the parts were made with exactly the same care and precision. If I didn't have my engine assembled and paid for I would buy one of each of this stuff :biglaugh: . Future I suppose.

With the exception that he sells CP pistons, not his own.
I've heard good things 'bout CP though.

Just got off the phone with them and they got backed up alittle and are two to three months out, but they are new cores with the stock base circle and will be 500.00 a pair. Stage 2 is plug and play and stage 3 requires springs.

[figgie]

oh so they are billet cams??? no regrinds?

 

[NashMan]

so no shim under bucket's ?

 

[mkIIIman089]

Awesome, nice find X-man! And since I've never seen you on here before, welcome to the forums!

 

[MK3Brent]

/\ :rofl:

Sean's not new here man.

 

[mkIIIman089]

Well, I've never seen that name before... thats why I said it. Oh well...

 

[X-man]

I appreciate it. Brian told me to email him which I did and he emailed me back and said as soon as they are ready to ship he'd let me know. They are new cores not regrinds and the stage 2's are plug and play, but the stage 3 require upgraded springs. From all the cam manufacturers I've talked too they say you should not need shim under bucket kits unless you get closer to 10mm lift. I would guess 9.52 mm might be push the comfort limit alittle, although 2jz's run 9.35 mm with no issues at higher rpm so who know's for sure.
