GSC Toyota 2JZGTE R2 Billet Intake Cam

The GSC Power Division R2 Billet Intake Camshaft is machined from solid billet steel for the Toyota 2JZGTE engine. This camshaft is designed to offer improved performance over stock, particularly in the mid-to-high RPM range, making it a solid choice for builds focused on maximizing power output. The R2 profile is a popular option for tuners looking for a noticeable bump in performance without requiring extensive valvetrain modifications, though it does call for upgraded valve springs and retainers to handle the increased lift and duration. Its billet construction ensures a strong and durable component that can withstand the demands of a performance engine.

When you're building a 2JZGTE, the camshafts are critical for dictating how the engine breathes and makes power. This R2 intake cam from GSC Power Division features a 274-degree duration and .450 inches of lift, which is a significant increase over the factory specifications. This increased lift and duration allow more air and fuel mixture into the cylinders, especially as the engine spins faster. The billet manufacturing process means that the camshaft is machined from a single piece of steel, resulting in a stronger, more precise component than a reground stock camshaft. This precision is key for consistent performance and reliability in a high-performance application. It's important to note that this camshaft is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.

For those looking to get the most out of their 2JZGTE, pairing this intake camshaft with a matching exhaust camshaft from GSC Power Division is often recommended to achieve optimal engine balance and power delivery. Remember that installing a camshaft with increased lift and duration will require tuning your engine management system to take full advantage of the hardware changes. You will also need to ensure your valvetrain is up to the task; GSC recommends their upgraded valve springs and retainers for this R2 camshaft to ensure proper operation and longevity.
