VQ23DE Engine Timing Chain Kit for Nissan Teana 2.3L

The Nissan VQ23DE engine features a Dual Overhead Camshaft (DOHC) layout and is equipped with a Continuous Variable Valve Timing Control (CVTC) system on the intake camshaft. When replacing the valve train system, it is necessary to use a complete timing chain kit, along with WVT (Variable Valve Timing) gears specifically tailored to this particular V6 configuration.

Description

Timing Chain Specifications
The main timing chain (lower chain) is responsible for driving the two intake camshafts, while the two secondary chains connect the intake and exhaust sprockets located on the left and right cylinder heads, respectively.
Main Chain: 196 links (featuring a back-side guide groove design)
Secondary Chains (2): 66 links each
Crankshaft Sprocket: 26 teeth
Camshaft Sprockets (Exhaust Side): 36 teeth
The complete kit includes: the lower chain, 2 upper chains, the crankshaft sprocket, 2 camshaft sprockets, 3 timing chain tensioners, and 3 chain guides.

WVT Gear Specifications
The intake camshaft is controlled by a hydraulically actuated WVT gear.
WVT Camshaft Adjuster (Intake Side): 2 units required.
Common OEM Part Reference Numbers: 13025-EA210, 13025-EA21A, 13025-CD000
Operating Principle: Controlled by the Engine Control Module (ECM) and the WVT solenoid valve, it dynamically adjusts the opening and closing duration of the intake valves in real time, thereby achieving optimal operational efficiency and power output.
