UpRev full tuning capabitliy??

Thing is, UpRev can control ECU parameters directly, but the VVEL has it's own controller I believe, can that be accessed from the OBD2 port? And would getting more lift

God I hate how this VVEL is a black box that we just have to live with

Edit: is not being able to sue the most efficient form of supercharger made good enough reason for uprev to release this or not? who in there right mind is going to make a kit that is impossible to rune without having the software to back it up?
Why can't you have a positive displacement blower? Is the problem constant pressure? Couldn't you just use a bypass or clutch type engagement?

Anway, the stock VVEL settings are probably more forgiving for any blower than a turbine anyway -- blowers aren't built in exhaust restrictions.

I have read this elsewhere.

For the electronics savvy, the simplest way is probably to figure out what voltages various VVEL sensors are looking for to vary lift and valve timing and then just condition those signals by splicing into the ECU wires. Thus, no tuning code would be needed, and in theory, the ECU would "think" it's operating as normal. That's essentially how piggyback VVTi and VVTLi controllers like the Camcon and V-manage work.

So... the million dollar question is: Does anyone have the VVEL ECU wiring diagram, the schematics for the VVEL sensors, or know anything about their operation, voltages, resistance, etc?

all the info you want is in the fsm download it and get reading. and yeah the blower would be pushing full cfm's all the time with no throttlebodies to restrict the inlet. and clutches are real gay you might as well just have nitrous or turbo's if you going to throw out the throttle characteristics of a true positive displacement setup.

Cool, I'll check it out -- thanks

Ha ha ha -- well, I don't know if it would be quite that bad. You'd just need a decent TPS switch to have it come on at say, 2/3 throttle. That's how the old Blitz kit was set up for the 7th gen Celica, and it worked fine.

Although, it might be okay even with a properly set up bypass valve, which all modern PD SC's have now anyway.

It should still make boost ealier and have better throttle response than a centrifugal blower or turbo.

The ECU calculates the target valve lift based on driving conditions, and sends that info to the VVEL control module, which in turn controls the actuator motor. So, theoretically, UpRev should have the capability to precisely control VVEL.

Yeah, but it's probably determined by referencing a load x RPM table, so it would still be ideal to edit the actual values in the table directly.

Although, I suppose they could spoof it by sending altered MAF/load readings, and then just adjust AFR and ignition to compensate, but that might create all sorts of weird driveability quirks.

Calculate? Are you certain it's not just another values in a table like Jordo suggested
