2.0 / 2.2 DOHC Camgears and uprated springs

Seems its been early Christmas for me. I have picked up these last Saturday...

Adjustable camgears (2.0 / 2.2 DOHC). One of them will be modified to provide pick up signal for the cam sensor.

And uprated dual valve springs. Special valve spring seats are required as well.

All items came from QED in UK. Camgears were £130, dual springs £90/set and platforms £1.30 each

very nice

, are the camgears a direct fit?

So if I want to buy a set of those, I must buy the springs too?

Yes, gears are direct fitment. And no, you do not need to buy springs. I did to prevent valve float at high boost.

I would call them, as it seems they are REALLY slow in answering email.

nice

, How much did you end up paying? (CAD or US)

Camgears were about CDN 260, springs $180 and platforms $2.60/each. Yes, the gears are a bit pricey, but there isnt much other choice. Also SBD Dev out of UK makes camgears.

that looks pretty nice. will those cam gears and other parts from that site fit the d-tech engines like on the forenza? they look similar.

Your motor code is actually U20SED. Photo above is of X20XEV - two motors are identical except for the engine management.

I know we've talked about it but I don't think in detail...What exactly are you doing so the cam picks up the signal?

he's most likely adding some sort of magnetic device to the cam gear.. guess?
