PHR VVT-i Delete Adjustable Cam Gear for 2JZ

Why would anyone do this?

Yes, we agree. At first glance this is a dumb idea. We do not recommend you delete your VVTi. The vast majority vehicles benefit from having functioning VVTi. VVT-i has been proven to work extremely well in a huge variety of scenarios. We LOVE VVT-i. So, why does this exist?

Well, in certain scenarios, someone may want to delete their VVT-i. Here are a some possible examples:

• BIG POWA! DRAG RACING. For head availability, you use the VVT-i heads which are still plentiful. But you've got BIG cams and stiff springs, which always fight with the VVT-i control. You don't need VVT-i doing anything unpredictable. Let's get rid of it to make sure that cam stays locked where it's supposed to be.
  
• Someone might want a simpler configuration for tuning and wiring purposes. A good example of this would be someone who want's to swap to a new head from an old 2JZ-GE head that runs a distributor. Using this delete would allow a more stright forward swap without having to worry about tuning VVT-i.
• Aesthetics. Someone is building a show car, and want  to remove the factory VVT-i Gear for something more pleasing to the eye. This will get that done.

Solenoid Removal

We've included a VVT-i Solenoid Delete that allows for passage of oil. This keeps the first cam journal properly lubricated and eliminates the ugly factory piece.
