Has anyone used them or had any experience with them?

I wouldn't trust those for the fact that I don't want them failing, and taking out my valves, etc.

I also don't like the 3 bolt design, the 5 bolt design, like the Fidanza's are much much better.

That's a really good point, but HKS also use the 3 bolt design, and these seem to be all out copies of the HKS gears.

I'm pretty sure I will go with Fidanza, they seem to be the cheapest of all the reputable brands.


I need to shift my powerband across a bit, I think. The dyno graphs make no sense for the cams that I have.

For an intercooler or intake pipe ebay is ok. For anything that is actually dynamic, stay away from ebay, unless someone else has proven otherwise.

Supposedly these are made by pilot.

I just googled it and they do look the same

Is Pilot a good brand?

I have a set of front/rear strut bars made by Pilot that have served me well.
But i'm not too sure about internal engine work for eBay prices.
Stay away from it and fork up more money for a more guaranteed prduct like the HKS or Fidanza cam gears.

I would personally rather spend the extra cash and get a reputable brand. If that center hub breaks out of that gear, is that worth the $100 or whatever that you saved? Some parts you just shouldn't go cheap on. Thats just my two cents.
