Do you think you'll have an ETA for the swap kits availability?

I've always had feelings for the VH but the 1JZ is tempting me now! hehe.

I'm curious what the Cams did for power on the VH45 along with Mazworx headers. I will definatly be buying this kit soon along with the headers. (saving in this economy isnt easy, lol) I noticed on Mazworx website you guys have a section for the VH Cams AND Valvetrain, but no info in there just yet. How much are the cams going to be? How did they feel? I wouldnt be looking for a street legal car so...

And are you guys messing around with valves and springs as well?

One question for everyone. Is there a Stand Alone ECU that can work with the VH45DE? I've heard that theres nothing to plug the Cam Shaft Sensor into...am I just misinformed?

They would have to change the springs to get any more lift with their cams, as the stock springs are nearly at coil bind with the stock cams. Not to mention their terribly low springrates...

There are many standalone options for the VH, nothing plug-n-play, but lots of systems that work. Search this forum, as there have been many topics on it.

The headers are available. We shipped 3 sets out yesterday. After we get our project car running, which will be next week, we will have more info on the valvetrain/cams.

i saw on the website that they now sell valve springs and retainers, so are the cams done as well? the vh is slowly building an aftermarket and i hope it keeps building.

Other over seas company's have cams and valve springs already like Franklin cams in NZ.

i know they already have cams and stuff overseas, but it would be so much easier to deal with mazworx seeing as they are stateside and would be more capable to help in case of issues and shipping would be cheaper. they also have a great rep here. let us know the results if you test them gsracer! im excited to see the vh's potential with cams and springs.

I'd almost guarantee that they wont fit. Making mount isn't that hard really.

Jerry,

Not 100% positive, but I think the Z31/Z32 VG bolt pattern is the same. If so, it shouldn't be hard at all for Maz to make it work.

Bell housing is definitely different on Z31 from the Z32. Not that mazworx couldn't still do it. Some Z31's used Borg Warner T5 transmissions, so making an adaptor might be marketable.

Lots of info on Z31 transmission here.

Just a little FYI, The z32(na or tt) bellhousing will bolt to the z31 87-89 turbo transmission. I have a z31 87-89 turbo transmission with a z32 bellhouning sitting in my shop right now.

True, supposedly the bell housing is the only difference, so swapping it should make the kit a bolt up affair.

I'm very disappointed in what I have seen... What is this reground cam that I see up on the Mazworx site ??!! I thought we were waiting on ready made 272 cams .... Now I see nothing but a regrind. I don't know about everyone else but I need an explanation. Are we simply going to be left to the companies overseas for an aftermarket?

And just throwing this out there but there aren't too many places that offer remapped ECUs either especially not those that are tunned for their cams ....(Hint Hint)

They might hard weld the cams before they grind them down. I know that what Web Cam out here will do. The base circle doesn't change when they do this.

if things go to plan i will have a full on manual trans spec ecu in the next week or two.while the stock ecu will run the car decently with a manual behind it it needs quite a bit of tweaking in my opinion for better drivablity.

It's a matter of economics, and new billet cams are not an economical choice for anyone for this motor, the demand does not warrant it. I know that's not the answer you want to hear, it's just the truth.

While that is a possibility, it's not a good option for this motor due to the roller rocker design.

What kind of changes are you looking to make to the tune?
