We really don't need to clutter this thread with this stuff. Just end it here so we can find out more about VVEL tuning please.

Sam, are you speculating or do you have some results/indication that there's a lot to be gained from VVEL control?

Proof is in the way the VVEL system works in stock form. The cam duration is so aggressive at 300 that it causes valve overlap which in turn reduces boost and reduces power. Drop the cam duration and you'll be able to use more of the air that's entering the engine for combustion purposes which will create a huge increase in power.

Example, if a car is making 465whp on 93-octane at a 10.5:1 compression ratio (350z w/ HR motor) on the same pulley/charger that Sam offers in his stage 1 supercharger kit which only makes 8psi on our cars because of valve overlap, if we were to drop the duration to match that of the HR motor and with our 11:1 compression we would make more power then 465whp, and that's only on the stage 1 kit with the 14psi pulley (maxing out the C38-81 supercharger). The stage 2 kit would make ridiculous amount of power with the VVEL controller.

Just my 2 cents.

I can't wait to see these results! If there is that much power to be made by adjusting VVEL that would be great!

RCZ · 01-09-2011, 10:07 AM

Yeah, why don't you go back to 2008 and read my entire history of posts since then before you make a judgment? If actually look up my name and look up posts you will see that 95% of my posts are positive and constructive and have Nothing to do with either Stillen or GTM.

RCZ · 01-09-2011, 05:58 PM

I'm pretty curious about it and expected gains. Not being pushy either, just wondering if there's any sign of what we can look forward to.

NYBladeZ · 01-09-2011, 06:08 PM

lol Flyboy has 44 posts and calls out RCZ, dumb move rook. I can't wait to see how vvel tuning works with F.I. on the Z. If the results come anywhere close to some of the educated guesses I've read on here, vvel tuning with f.i. will take the Z to astonishing high performance figures. I knew my Z was a good buy, especially with a mad scientist like Sam backing the platform.

Since VVEL tuning is a different topic, maybe we should start a new thread so more people can get involved in the discussion..

Or maybe that's a rook statement too.

RCZ · 01-09-2011, 06:24 PM

^ Hope so. It would be amazing if we could put out another 30-50hp or so, but I think I'm just dreaming...right?

G37sHKS · 01-09-2011, 06:52 PM

lol why you all care about HP?? RCZ you already had 450 HP and 3xx Torque.. if i were you i would say "ill be happy to see another 50 "torque""

back on topic,

Sam, how can we control the VVEL? i know its a noob question but im noob when it comes to technology.

do i have to take it to tuner? (please dont say yes bcuz i live overseas)
or just plug in and drive?

Well I can tell you one thing, it has absolutely nothing to do with UpRev.

Because I've probably already got every carbon fiber body panel available and a braille battery in an effort to save weight. All I'd say I'm missing are some carbon seats and wheels. At this point I'd rather get more power.

NewYorkJon34 · 01-09-2011, 09:07 PM

Looking forward to results

NewYorkJon34 · 01-09-2011, 10:36 PM

^ how much weight did you take off the car going with all those carbon pieces?

I want to see what the VVEL will do for my N/A set up. Especially between 6900 to 8100 rpm range. Thats were i loss power. If it gave me 15 to 20 more RWHP it would put me at 324 to 330 SAE RWHP. or 333 to 342 satndard RWHP. Now that would be a nice gain especially with my 4.08 gears.
