Hi all

Has anyone here tried the camcon VVT-I controller. Apparently you can also adjust AFR in addition to VVT-I kick in. It has been said that the IS200 runs quite lean on top rpm's with the supercharger.

So i was really wondering if it's possible to cure the problem with this unit. Not too expensive IMHO.

I would have thought you'd be better off with a proper piggyback ECU, which would let you do more.

Not sure about the VVT-i thing, because it's a continuous effect on Toyota engines, it's not like Honda's VTEC which does kick in at a particular point. The kick-in that you can feel on the IS200 around 4500rpm is actually the flap in the inlet manifold opening up.

According to their webpage, looks like you do have some AFR adjustment ? Looks like a very crude adjustment compared to a proper piggyback ECU IMHO. Though that's still better than a black box/FCD.

I would say that a 11 BHP increase is quite good for that price. With a supercharger you get about 45 BHP extra for 2000£?

I'm impresssed that you got that much extra bhp out of it. Was that really the only change you made between those runs ?

Is that what Ahmet had on his IS300 that I was very poorly explaining at the Ace meet as minimal upgrades to get a decent power increase?
