I had a honda guy tell me once that adjustable cam gears are nothing more than a good way to bend your valves...

...granted we don't have interference motors, but still makes sense.

Unless you're buying a muffler or something along those lines, OBX is garbage.

meh, he's only got seven posts, give him a break.

...although the search function is a good thing to use.

iirc, I'm pretty sure that the 2jz adjustable cam gears will bolt up to the 7m, but I'm not positive. Do a search and see what you dig up.

I'm confused. That link is to the OBX crank pulley, not the OBX cam gears.

What's wrong with the OBX cam gears?


They're made by OBX. One guy had issues with them breaking the dowel pin that goes into the cams, or grooving the cam gears or something due to the inferior aluminum that they are constructed of.

Something like that.

OK I found a set for you. Fiadanza makes Cams gears for the 7mgte. The are much cheaper than AEM and Much better than OBX.
Oh yea I now stock Fidanza along with AEM
