Innovative 2-in-1 Camshaft Gear (with +2° and +4° Offset)
In addition to our popular fully adjustable camshaft gear, we introduce an innovative alternative. This newly developed camshaft gear offers a fixed offset of both 2 degrees and 4 degrees. By simply rotating the gear 180 degrees, you switch positions. A smart and cost-effective 2-in-1 design. And the price is even lower than a new original camshaft gear.
Why adjust the camshaft timing?
The crankshaft drives the camshaft via the timing belt. The standard factory timing is often not optimal. This is due to:
- Cylinder head overhaul: Milling the cylinder head (often done 1 or 2 times) changes the distance and thus the timing.
- Wear: The natural delay of hydraulic lifters affects valve opening.
By subtly shifting the keyway in this camshaft gear, you optimize the position of the camshaft relative to the gear. With this fine-tuning, the intake valves open slightly earlier. This results in immediate power gain.
Proven results on the dynamometer (Dyno)
Our test measurements show clear differences compared to the original setting:
- +4 degrees position: Provides the most torque up to about 5000 RPM. This results in a noticeable increase of 10 Nm compared to the original.
- +2 degrees position: Also offers a significant torque improvement up to 5000 RPM. Above this RPM, the +2 degrees position wins, resulting in the highest peak power in horsepower.
Which position do you choose?
- For street use: The +4 degrees position is the best choice for extra low-end torque.
- For the track (racing): The +2 degrees position is the best choice for maximum power at high RPM.
The camshaft gear has the original markings on both sides. This keeps the timing belt installation simple, regardless of which position you choose.
Package contents
- 1x Steel camshaft gear (galvanized against rust)
- 1x New key for precise positioning
Installation information
- Installation time: Approximately 1 hour.
- Procedure: When replacing the gear, the timing belt must be loosened and retensioned.
- Tip: You can ideally combine this upgrade with periodic maintenance, such as replacing the timing belt.
This camshaft gear is excellent to use with our other tuning products such as the Remap and MAF
