The Nissan Maxima's Variable Timing Sprocket allows the engine to breathe at the right time, improving performance and efficiency. The Variable Timing Sprocket aligns cam and crank marks on stock builds precisely. Working with the chain, tensioners, and guides, Nissan performance editions are designed with tighter limits in mind, as a two or three degree slip can rob as much as 50 horsepower. The Variable Timing Sprocket utilizes multiple crank keyways, offset bushings, and slotted cam holes to offer tuners the option of advancing timing for stronger low-rpm pull or retarding it for extra top-end surge. Previously, the Maxima engines relied on a basic, single-mark Variable Timing Sprocket that needed no adjustment other than factory alignment. An adjustable Variable Timing Sprocket style became part of the sporty trims later, which pairs with a degree wheel so the cam can be dialed right to the spec sheet. No matter what version, the component should always be swapped in conjunction with a matched timing set including a fresh chain, guides, and tensioner to keep every Nissan Maxima running smooth and strong.
