VVEL control unlocked

edub370 · 11-02-2012, 09:23 AM

so i'm wondering, if i were to get some headers, and get vvel tuning unlocked, if i could reach 340whp+....

this is some exciting stuff we go goin on

add some jun cams and we are looking at 350whp NA

Add E85 and high compression. 400 wheel. Add better valvetrain once that is possible and proven. 8500-9500 redline, with power all the way to that point.

Super light wheels. Stiffer bushings and mounts. Eliminate drivetrain loss. 425 wheel.

Well... for the cost of going high compression, forced induction would probably be cheaper and more reliable.

For the cost of the "good" forced induction solutions you could swap in an entirely different drive train. That's kinda my plan, ultimately.

Here is a clip Johnny sent me of him messing w/ the VVEL @ idle/ low rpm,'s...... cracks me up. We are learning more and more, hopefully we will get some good results after the build. My car is down right now getting a turbo upgrade and building the bottom end w/ my spare block, which is the reason there is no exhaust at the moment. Updates when they come in!

Is the VVEL setting global or can it be assigned to a map? It'll be neat to have that crazy idle on one of the maps to scare people haha.

What I'm thinking is stock VVEL and throttle map for the 1st slot, and a more aggressive tune for a different slot (good for dry days with good tires).

Is it the video? Something sounds bad.

O&G · 11-10-2012, 05:44 PM

It's bad quality, cell phone video. Here is a link to a FB HD version, not sure if you all will be able to see it. Nothing is wrong with the motor/car, building a bottom end for more power. I purchased a spare block.

X2... I want this .. Is only idle affected? Or does the rest of the map get affected? If tuning can be done to affect idle and be beneficial for the entire map while making power then I surely would want a tune like this... But if it only affects idle and can setting not being able to run at WOT or run less power then I would not want it.

Great job though in innovating and experimenting.
