Thread: A question for you vvl lovers

The sound of a vvl made me fall in love

Teal, you have some seriously bad luck man.... Your 2.4L has been hit & miss, just read your post today. Wow. Major miss. G/L on the HC 2.0, we'll be pulling for you to get 'er done.

Get n1 from gspec 450 asap650 for a nemu

Dont see many de's that run that hard. And that was with stock 20ve cams. I know my old full bolt on 91 se-r that ran 14.3@97 on street tires didnt pull like that. Not even close.

While I love the sound when I want to hear it, at WOT, I don't particularly like it when it happens and I'm not trying to do it (merging on the highway or downshifting around a turn during casual driving) - it has an annoying buzzing noise from the exhaust. I have it set to go at 5200rpms, maybe I should raise it.

Sounds like you need a better exhaust. lol. A good exhaust wont have any buzz sound to it at all.

If it sounded like a honda id get annoyed too.

My friend has a JWT ECU on his b14 that activates VVL @ 5k.
That i know off it was an idea from one of my tuner friends.
It is forsale in anybody is interested

If you dont want the VVL to go off say at partial throttle and so on then get yourself a standalone or some other type of trigger that uses a throttle input so that you have to be over a set throttle position as well as rpm for the VVL to trigger.

On my aem i can set it to trigger off rpm, load, throttle, and several other parameters such as not to come on until coolant temp reaches a certain point.

GReddy MSS is the best bet (barring stand alone) to get the desired operation as Ashton mentioned.

Only thing thing is, the MSS was discontinued by GReddy.

I actually have a 3" cat-back to Magnaflow muffler, it sounds decent just not at partial throttle when VVL engages
