Looonie Regular Location: Auckland, NZ Registered: April 2004	1G-GTE Camshafts... Tue, 23 November 2004 21:58 Hey ppl Well, over the weekend, I was told a rumour about a 1G-GTE that with standard turbos, and only 7psi of boost, was so responsive it would step out whenever you touched the throttle... Now I expect this to be somewhat of a lucid exageration, if not total and utter BS, but I'm waiting on an opportunity to check this car out and see if the claims are true. Apparently the engine is fully rebuilt race spec, but they reckon the secret is the cams. So to the questions... Has anybody done/seen/heard about putting camshafts into a 1G-GTE and the difference it makes? I'm sick to death of having to wait till 4,500rpm for decent spool, and lately I've been noticing, theres a fair whack of power available over about 5-6k rpm, but thats not much use to me when I redline at 6,800 and I'm trying to drift this thing... I need the response and the torque down low... but what this does lead to to believe is perhaps Toyota used a very conservative cam timing (being the lowest NVH engine ever, and being in a luxury cruiser) so that the engine isn't too powerful for the masses, but when you put your foot down to pass somebody, it releases the power within... just a theory, something I'd be keen to prove if camshafts can do what I hope they can... Sorry for the ramble, just wanting to hear from other people while I start the search for a set of aftermarket camshafts from Japan [Report message to a moderator]
