Does anyone know about obx camgears? has anyone used them in their supra? are they any good? or do they suck?
what about obx cam gears?
- Thread starter 88turboma71
- Start date
I remember someone saying they worked fine...Maybe it was Nashman, im not sure though. Honestly, people will just say "oh its OBX, it sucks"....Cam gears arent rocket science! And for the price, it seems like a good deal
yea, they do seem like a good deal for the price, compared to 160 a piece for the aem ones and 400 for the unorthodox ones.

Unless it was incorrectly manufactured.
It's probably fine though. I second the "go for it".
thanx guys i appreciate the feedback, i am going to purchase a set as soon as my motor is back from the machine shop, and i will let u guys know how they work.
i tried to install my camshaft gears tonight and found that the adjustment
bolts on the sprockets make contact with the bolts that hold in the rear upper timing cover. i am unsure if this cover must be removed with these camshaft sprockets but i contacted the store to see if i can get some tech feedback from them. Is there anyone who is running aftermarket cam sprockets that had to leave there upper covers off b/c of this same reason?

Stock gears with the offset bushings are still as good and 1/10th the price...

My friend had the same problem with his Aem cam gears hitting. He just shaved the bolt down to give it clearance.
nashman had a very small shim made on a lathe, i think it was 1/16" or 1/32" to get the adjustment screws to clear.
I would like to run a clear upper timing cover instead of leaving it open like that. looks like im gonna have to come up with something to make this happen.
thanx for the feedback guys.
thanx for the feedback guys.
right now there is another set on ebay. i am questioning the quality of this product. i wanted a set that would just bolt on , i didn't want to start fucking with shit cause they didn't work properly, then if u want tech support for these things as far as how the manufacture wants u to run them u cant get them they dont even have a phone number posted on their website. so i dont know if im gonna run them on my car, i may sell them and buy a set of aem's or unorthodox cam gears, does anyone have a set of aem's installed or unorthodox cam gears, if so how do u like the quality and the fitment of the product.
