Brian Crower 264/264 Camshafts - 1JZGTE (Non VVTI)
The Stage 2 Edge
The BC0331 is a Stage 2 Camshaft set designed specifically for the Non-VVTi 1JZ-GTE. It is the "Goldilocks" of cam profiles: aggressive enough to provide a noticeable lope at idle and significant gains across the powerband, yet refined enough to maintain excellent street manners.
- Plug & Play Compatibility: Designed to run with the factory valve springs and retainers (though BC upgrades are always recommended for high-revving builds).
-
Turbo Efficiency: Optimized to help larger aftermarket turbos spool faster and hold boost longer into the redline.
-
Yamaha Head Synergy: Profiles designed to take full advantage of the 1JZ’s superior head flow characteristics.
