    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.

    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.

  • @PowerDynamix
    @PowerDynamix  Před 11 lety

    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.

  • @RustyMantis89
    @RustyMantis89 Před 8 lety +1

    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!

  • @PowerDynamix
    @PowerDynamix  Před 10 lety +2

    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.

  • @PowerDynamix
    @PowerDynamix  Před 11 lety

    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.

    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.

    • @PowerDynamix
      @PowerDynamix  Před 2 lety

      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.

    GTE VVTI and non-VVTI engine’s are non-interference engine’s due to the lower pistons and thicker head gasket. GE, not so much

    Great info, but I am dissappointed you don't list the exact Toyota oring type/size. Your oring choice might be great, but it has not passed the test of time like the OEM one has. I am very careful about using anything aftermarket that isn't proven yet. What is the most miles and/or time you know of of someone using your oring seal with no leaks yet?

      Toyota does not list the o ring as they do not repair the gear even at dealer level. They replace.

    Doesn’t painting the actual cam gear cause the belt to slip?

      Never had in issue. The belt position is locked in by the cogged teeth. Kind of like how a bike chain is locked in place by the teeth, and those have plenty of chain grease on them. Only way the painting could cause slipping if it was a smooth pulley like the power steering or alternator pulley.

      @@PowerDynamix see that’s what I thought as well, but everyone online said not to. I’m going to do it as well then.
