Need to find specs on that cause that is a real technical question. Ask on Supraforums if anyone has specs on the Supra cams. Then ask someone on here if they have specs for that. Then you should have your answer.

you can use jdm 2jzgte camshaft in a usdm 2jzgte. but you dont want to do that though. the usdm 2jzgte cams are actually a bit more aggressive.

you cant use 2jzgte cams in the 2jzge. at least you can use the exhaust camshaft. the intake cam will work. the exhaust cam in the 2jzge has a helical gear cut into it to drive the distributor and the the 2jzgte cams dont since they dont have a distributor and use coil on plug system.

i dont know that a jdm 2jzgte cam would be much of an upgrade to a 2jzge.

if you google or search here or supraforums you can find info on aftermarket cams for the 2jzge that has a helical gear on it. i believe user Cowboy either makes them or sells them. PM him for info.
