Hybrid and Cams Question

[ECale3]

Correct me if i'm worng here but, the 5SFE is a DOHC but the exhaust cam is actuated by the intake cam via some kind of scissor valve, jack, thingy.

The 3SGTE is True DOHC with each cam actuated seperately.

So, if i were to use a 3SGTE Head on my 5SFE would that enable me to use 3SGTE cams as well?

Correct.

Theres only one camgear (on the intake cam) and the intake cam drives the exhaust cam.

Yes.

You use the cams for that cylinder head.

Don't use the cams from a 5S-FE. They wouldn't work anyways.

will that just bolt right up? Any changes to the timing?

[chronoti]

it not just drop and go.

you have to match years for the engines. and change the ecu and harnest. search around the site lots of info from wrath and what not.

[ECale3]

so if i change the head i've got to change the ECU and wiring harness? Why exactly do i need to mess with the harness?

[terrastrife]

did you search yet?

The sensors, ignition system, wiring, etc... are different.

You can't just bolt up the cylinder head, plug stuff in, and expect it to work.

It'll work just fine as a paperweight....
