Default Adjustable cam pulleys on a WRX?

Hi All!

Has anyone used adjustable cam pulleys on a WRX? If you have, where did you buy them from? And how did you get along with them?

As always, cheers in advance for any feedback or sharing or experience.

Hi Resh

I would go with Adjustable Cam Pulleys/Gears if you are running aftermarket cams/valves
On yours spec not sure if I would advise to go with Adjustable Cam Pulleys/Gears

Hi Jura! :-) Hope you are Latso are good!

I'm talking to Torque Developments International, and the guys there reckon that if i can get adjustable intake pulleys, he can adjust the timing to gain extra power in the low revs (at the cost of the top, which i'm fine with).

Does that make sense?

Hi Resh

Everything is fine and we are both OK

What I've read about this issue not sure if I would advise to do so on the WRX just due cost and performance ratio

As you know yours engine must go out and cambelt too etc for fitting the adjustable cam pulleys/gears and at the end you will spend lot more than its worth

On moderate power what you are running I would stay clear from the Adjustable cam gears until you will be running aftermarket cams/valves/springs
