PHR Rigid Ultralight Valve Covers for 2JZ-GE non-VVT-i, with Cam Sensor Boss on Intake - Distributor Delete - Coil Over Plug Conversion

Old tech made new

Distributor Delete and Coil Over Plug Ignition

By providing a simple location to mount a cam sensor in the 2JZ-GE Valve Cover, these valve covers were designed with the purpose to be able to convert the 2JZ-GE non-VVT-i cylinder head into a more modern version. It serves multiple purposes:

• Provide a location for a cam sensor
• Delete the distributor
• Convert the ignition to Coil over Plug
• Provide the MAXIMUM breathing capability
• Look amazing
• Extreme Light Weight

Intake cam sensor

The intake cam sensor is utilized when converting a 2JZ-GE with a distributor to coil over plug.  

This will require that you use camshafts for the 2JZ-GTE​.

You can source OEM or aftermarket cams, but this tooth shown is required.

The Rigid Ultralight covers utilize dowels that perfectly align the valve cover to the 2JZ cylinder head using existing machining in the factory 2JZ head. This allows certainty that the intake cam sensor will be located in a perfect and repeatable position. Further, by using an o-ring cord, the valve covers are "rigidly" mounted, meaning the cam sensor stays firmly in position.

Obviously, this will require an aftermarket ECU as there is only one sensor, as well as it's position being in a different rotational position than the stock 2JZ-GTE.

Crankshaft Position Sensor Requirement

The second part of the equation to converting to coil over plug, is the crankshaft position sensor. You cannot simply run these valve covers. You will also need a crankshaft position sensor. Some vehicles with distributors will already have this sensor (see the 1997 Toyota Supra non-turbo). But most will not have it. You must have an oil pump and timing belt drive gear to accommodate the crankshaft position sensor. These are not easily installed. Changing the oil pump requires removing the oil pan, which would also require removal of the engine from the vehicle, or lowering the subframe.

As part of a complete build, this is not a big deal. You will be replacing the oil pump anyway. So in that case it just requires installing the correct pieces.
