I never understand how some people can dislike video's like this. This guy is helping people learn something that can help them for free why dislike the video. Anyways I gave it a thumbs up because I'm grateful for the knowledge he has provided us. Thank you this was extremely helpful.
Sorry to be so offtopic but does any of you know of a tool to get back into an instagram account? I was dumb lost the account password. I would love any tips you can give me.
Jeff, I highly appreciate your disassemble videos and also the o-ring and instructions provided. Me and my brother changed out the vvti cam gear o-ring, cam seals, full water pump, timing belt and swapped in a 6-speed tensioner. Haven't heard much from you lately in terms of the scene, must be staying busy! Hope to see you continue in the 2jz game and post up some more videos!
Yes you can do that, but you will need a VERY hard metal. Maybe even diamond? I have tried using a tungsten alloy tip to scribe the area and it didn't work. I think the pulley is heat treated for higher durability. Alternatively you can just use a paint pen to make the marking.
If you look up Makita LXDT01 Impact Driver. It has 3 torque selection modes. On low mode, it measures out right at 10-12ft/lbs. Please do some research in the future. Thanks.
(UPDATE! 10/2020). just buy one from Ebay. They are only $6.00 shipped. It doesn't look like this guy is shipping them out anymore. You may lose your money. (Older post from 2014) I was trying to figure out how to avoid paying you $20.00 for the o ring until I gave it some thought.... If it weren't for your awesome videos, I wouldn't have even known how to fix my gs300 in the first place. So Thanks! I will definitely be buying that O- ring from you. I appreciate your videos.
It only needs once cam position sensor. That's how the factory is setup as well and it does it just fine. You have to wire up one side of the VVTi solenoid to the AEM's extra PWM1 or PWM2 output. Then for the other side of the solenoid, it needs to be hooked up to a switched 12v+. Then setup the EMS and tune accordingly. If you don't know how to tune VVTi, then I would suggest you just leave it hooked up to the stock computer and let it control the vvti.
Perfect i just finished the video!! So now i know you do sale the actual gear. I'm still going to attempt the rebuild for challenge purposes but really would like to buy the purple one, didn't see it on the website.
Ideally, yes it's better to have everything controlled by the EMS. But if vvti is not controlled correctly, you will actually lose power. The stock ecu does a pretty good job of controlling it. So that's why I said, you should just let the stock ecu handle vvti if you are not 100% confident on setting vvti through the EMS.There are not many tuners in the country that can do vvti on ems. If your tuner does not specialize in this engine then I would suggest you use stock ecu for vvti control.
Did a 1999 GS4 could find those seals anywhere,, finally found some at the hardware store but wasn't confident enough that they would hold up so I replaced both gears at 400+ a pop.....
Man thanks for the videos I learned A lot...I want to buy the kit but i have one ?...where do I get the rubber ring that is in the back of the vvti cam gear that you popped out in video 4 with the tole you got of line
Arthur Swails If you simply know about the material characteristics. You can look it up on a materials chart. The factory o-ring is neoprene temp rated to 250F. We use viton o-ring which is much longer lasting and more durable temp rated to 400F. These o-ring kits will outlast the factory o-ring. You are certainly entitled to buy a whole new pulley from Toyota for $200 or you can order a rebuild kit from us for $20. The product has been in my personal cars for over 7 years now with no signs of leaking. The factory seal will leak at 10 years. Time will tell if this will outlast the factory one, but at 1/10 the cost the choice is up to you.
Nice vids. I have a 98 GS300 and someone told me that when doing the timing belt that the idler pulleys should be replaced as well... is this true? Thanks.
Another thing to consider is that the Toyota part won’t have been made for years now, so will have been sitting around in a warehouse, possibly age hardening.
Okay, i got the seals from you guys, went through the process of the rebuild just as you've described in the video, here's my issue... Upon re-installation, the cam gear can rotate roughly 25 degrees from one side to the other, i set the cam itself to the far left position via the allen bolt inside the cam, so at this point, ive started the car and have practically no throttle response or power until about 4500rpms. Anything you can do to point me in the right direction would be fantastic. Thank you in advance!
Good evening, I would like you to help me. I disassembled the exhaust VVTi from the 3SGE Beams engine to change the seals and by accident the spring and the gears came off. Now we can't assemble them anymore. I would like a video so I can assemble them.
I did not mark my gear just took it apart do I need to buy a new one or can I get it back where it needs to be I haven’t finished the video yet I didn’t see you mark it I got it there were witness marks from the bolts
your videos are coming very handy i am rebuilding 5 Lexus gs-300 i could use a way to bypass the immobilization system and the oxygen sensors they are also being converted to hydrogen
Do they make silicon O rings for it? I watched a few videos of internal components of oil filters and the same thing occurs inside the filter with the rubber type seal, a few manufacturers are starting to use silicon or neoprene because when the rubber is hard the silicon and neoprene is still pliable.
Silicone is not as chemical/oil resistant as Viton and they will break down faster over time. Neoprene is what is used from the factory and they harden and crack over time. The Viton material is much more resistant to heat and harsh chemicals/oils.
@@PowerDynamix Thanks for the reply. I imagine in oil filters they have less of a concern since most people change the filter at the time of the oil change. I change mine every 6 to nine months.
Im rebuilding my but looks like someone already open the gear how can I tight the 5 lugs in which position or what happens if is in the wrong position thanks in advance
when installing the cam gear on the cam how does it have to be on lock position or unlock position? on the pin probably this model does not use pin however for the one uses I wanted to know or any body have any article to check thanks nice video
Yes we can do custom colors available upon request, but they will usually cost more because the custom colors have to be ordered. Please send us an email for additional info powerdynamix@gmail.com
Did you find anyone to rebuild your Volvo VVT gear? I have a B5254T3 Dual CVVT and the VVT hubs are about $250 each. It would be great if I could rebuild them.
This is an old video but I was doing this the other day and ig I stretched the o ring too hard and broke it 😱... ordered a new one hopefully it won’t break this time
I have a 01 GS 300 I am looking to put a twin turbo supra motor and trans in it. Can you help me with some questions I have about the process. I live in Tampa Fl. and would like to know if anyone around this area has done this and can help with my car Thanks Kasey.
do you have any kind of shipping garranty .. don't mean to be rude or any thing but your site looks new and a lil sketchi don't like ordering off line on uncommon sits
Did that and timing belts and seals now i got a P1346 😂. Hopefully it wasnt because of the rebuild. Car runs fine and smooth it just have that code. Maybe it just happens that the vvt solenoid went bad
do u have to rebuild the exhaust side cam seal? or just the intake side? im about to do my gs300s timing belt/valve cover/camseal service.. and wanna make sure i do it all at once

Because he doesn't get to the point!!
Hands down, one of the best diy's I have ever watched. Thank you for the viedo, well worth the watch.
I bought the kit Feb 8th and arrived in Australia within 3 weeks. Jeff was responsive to emails as well. Thankyou!
Jeff, I highly appreciate your disassemble videos and also the o-ring and instructions provided. Me and my brother changed out the vvti cam gear o-ring, cam seals, full water pump, timing belt and swapped in a 6-speed tensioner.
Haven't heard much from you lately in terms of the scene, must be staying busy! Hope to see you continue in the 2jz game and post up some more videos!
you should definitely make more of jeff's garage, i know a lot of people including me would really appreciate your insight on 2JZ's.
You are an amazing human man....and I appreciate you.
Seriously, long life to you my friend.
Thanks for the video, I'm just about to change the timing belt, water-pump and thermostat so now I will rebuild the pulley with your kit.
Kit arrived OK, its now changed , thanks to your video.
BTW the old o ring had turned brittle.
Yes you can do that, but you will need a VERY hard metal. Maybe even diamond? I have tried using a tungsten alloy tip to scribe the area and it didn't work. I think the pulley is heat treated for higher durability. Alternatively you can just use a paint pen to make the marking.
Hi I where can I buy seals from
If you look up Makita LXDT01 Impact Driver. It has 3 torque selection modes. On low mode, it measures out right at 10-12ft/lbs. Please do some research in the future. Thanks.
Do you know if hks ever made an after market intake sprocket?
Hey dude keep making these videos you do an awesome job, very clear and right on the subject I like how add you touch Thanks
Great videos. I just subscribed and hope to see more like this. I would love to see a video tutorial where you completely rebuild a 2JZ-GTE.
(UPDATE! 10/2020). just buy one from Ebay. They are only $6.00 shipped. It doesn't look like this guy is shipping them out anymore. You may lose your money.

Update: just fixed my leaking VVTi pulley with the o-ring I bought from you guys. This video was a huge help. Thanks.
BallinMafia how long did it take for you to receive the o ring? I ordered one but haven’t received it...i also email him but no aswer
How do you remove the pulley from the engine to replace the o ring?
@@BallinMafia how long it take for you to come in the mail??
@@leerhill That was six years ago. I honestly don't remember. Just get one from Ebay or Amazon.
That's actually a really robust unit. Looks like nothing else would fail inside it. Unlike other variable cam gears out there.
Great video- I'm having the same problem with my IS300 and was about to just do every gasket but that one.
Hell I didn't even know that existed!!
TY👊

This dude is the greatest‼️
Rock-n-roll thanks for the tech video.
Definitely got me hella sketched on doing this now...
Could I just get one from the junk yard ? And do you have a video of you installing cam gear back on ? 😊
Great video, good too see the vvti pulley apart :)

PowerDynamix do you sell the the 3rd seal? the Hardened one on the internal gearset?
Did a 1999 GS4 could find those seals anywhere,, finally found some at the hardware store but wasn't confident enough that they would hold up so I replaced both gears at 400+ a pop.....
Great stuff! When putting it back on to a stand alone ecu, if your process gets it close enough, static timing procedure will be set up as normal?
thanks to u i did my own timing elt and water pump on my 2jz please more vids
13:14 - dr Jeff, is the ink blot supposed to reming me of butterfly?
best videos out there, thanks
I need to get mine serviced. Please post a link so I can buy the parts from you.
Man this video help me so much!! 🎉🎉🎉 thanks a bunch
Man thanks for the videos I learned A lot...I want to buy the kit but i have one ?...where do I get the rubber ring that is in the back of the vvti cam gear that you popped out in video 4 with the tole you got of line
hey I was wondering my vvti sounds like a weird bearing bad sound wondering if you knew anything about that . and awesome id's bro
Damn 12 years ago, I was gonna ask if you guys still do the vvti cam gear in purple
i’m pretty sure he still does his website is still up
Thank you for these vids they are a great help to the DIYer and how much do you charge for this and the paint?

Tedster Burc yes, usually it is a good idea to change them and they are relatively cheap anyways.
PowerDynamix Can you sent me a email to me, with the size from the o-ring ?

Thanks for your video. Would this kit fit 2uz.
where about in the US are u located?
Thanks for this video..it helped me a lot!
what about the other o ring one the inner gear, do you have the part number?
Thanks Jeff!!! Help out a lot.
How u take vvt assemble from cam?
I did not mark my gear just took it apart do I need to buy a new one or can I get it back where it needs to be I haven’t finished the video yet I didn’t see you mark it
I got it there were witness marks from the bolts
Do you sale the whole gear i really like that purple??
Can this be done without removing the whole gear assembly from car?
Nope, because it holds on that centre keyhole thing that you,ve got to take out
Seen videos where they take it off without remove the cam gear.
Any idea where I could get the split type seal on the actuator gear?
Did you ever find that seal? And is it supposed to be split ?
@@pac8447 it is split. I ended up using a plumbing oring which got me by till i grabbed one from the junkyard.
Aaron Olson thank you, I appreciate the quick reply 👍🏼
You gotta lube up the o-ring!!!!
How can I get mine rebuilt & painted
Thanks bro
I ordered some parts last week from your site I really need to contact you
hi I need to know how much for the cam gear, mines leaking need ASAP
thanks,,,,,,great job....how much is oring for 2001 toyota echo?.....might just get one for inventory
your videos are coming very handy i am rebuilding 5 Lexus gs-300 i could use a way to bypass the immobilization system and the oxygen sensors they are also being converted to hydrogen
great video dude! Thanks for the help!
Thank u saved my engine
thanks...great job...bob
whis I had seen this before as I did the timing belt service on mine last summer but its not leaking yet
any idea if a 3sge beams vvt-i are the same as the 2jz?
Will you have this rebuild kit available anytime soon?
Check in the video description, the link is above. The O-ring is available in the PowerDynamix online store. Thanks.
What about the split deal is there supposed to be a crack in it?
Yes that's the Teflon sealing ring. It's supposed to have he split in it.
What are the signs that's its leaking. I have oil in the timing belt housing could this be the case
Where can I find bolt that holds down cam gear, the big one that allows the oil to pass through.
You don't actually have to remove the whole gear off the at correct?
Whats the name of the tool you are using for torque?? It works very fast. :)
Great video.
hey where is the link to buy the kit to rebuilt my cam gear vvti
Can u do the ones on the 300zx tt
How much for a rebuild and painted the Hks purple?
This oring will work for a 2001 gs430 3uz-fe engine right? Similiar procedure?
Hey do you still sell the rebuilt ones ?
@@Bigwillproductions Yes, still available on our website. Thanks.
It’s clear that I been of work for 4 years and now I start working full time and find that vvt-i assy can’t remove from camshaft can u help? Please 🙏

i have a lot of leaking coming from under the cam cover but i am missing a bolt lol is that the main problem or do i need to do a rebuild?
I need one of those o rings for a 1uz v8, help a brother out !
Did anyone try this one the 3sge beams dual vvti cam gears? I have the same problem
Is your website still active if I ordered? And will all your maintenance products work for JDM aristo gte vvti?
so you don't actually have to replace the entire gear? just the o ring?
Yes you only replace the o-ring. That is the only part that will leak.
Do you have gold colour? :)
Yes we can do custom colors available upon request, but they will usually cost more because the custom colors have to be ordered. Please send us an email for additional info powerdynamix@gmail.com
