for the difference in price...
let me word it another way Ben..
vvt is not active at idle.. its purpose is to advance the cam above idle.
disabling the system causes the cam NOT to advance at all.

Hi Ben..
the system advances the intake cam by about 5-15 degrees..
What I am saying is that, if you disconenct the system, the cam will not advance... - it is effectively retarded at idle. -
However, the lack of advance makes Sod All difference to performance.
the 1200 rpm is the...
more tests have been done (by a well known reno specialist ) to confirm what I summised earlier..
ap22 standing 1/4

speed is not everything.. If you can even contemplate living without climate control in ANY car.. I worry
So much to sacrifice...
