Adj Cam Gear Query

[Zilch*]

I'm currently installing HKS adjustable cam gears in my RB25, the gear does not appear to line up with the original bolthole on the intake cam, can someone who has fitted these please give me some advice on how to solve this problem. I have done a search already and found nothing other than SydneyKids guide which does not address this issue. Also what does the VCT on the intake cam do and do I need it with the HKS cam gear?

Cheers Steve

Just leave the intake cam gear standard, you cannot retain the vct unit with an in adj cam gear and in my opinion vct is a good thing for a street driven car. The gains are made with retarding the exhaust cam gear anyway.

Hmm I'd much rather change both seeing as I've already bought them both anyway, any ideas on why it's not lining up?

And also waht does the VCT actually do? as in is it necessary? Thanks for the advice though.

Cheers Steve

have you bought two exhaust cam gears? Brand names gears have differrent orientations on the intake and exhaust.

check part numbers IN 2204-AN001 and EX 2204-AN002

Leave the VCT

It does what your cam gear is doing, changes the positioning of the cam, a: for better response, b: for more top end.

Difference being, it does it whilst the motor revs up. You set your cam gear once and leave it (Don't know how well you can get out, and change your cam gear whilst you're driving)

Just do the exhaust gear.
