VVTI/VVTLi & VTec Controllers

BD10NNF · 26 Jan 2010 at 08:07

Im thinking of getting one of these for my Yaris and I know your gonna say its a Yaris and theres no point but once Ive done my mods I do believe I will need one.
Does anyone have one? What are they like to use? Anything to look out for good and bad?

I would definately say a VTEC controller was a great idea.

BD10NNF · 26 Jan 2010 at 08:14

LOL I do need some serious advice though. Seem as it isnt cheap to buy.

Do it, then your Yaris might have 300bhp and beat Veyron's off the line...

Matt82 · 26 Jan 2010 at 08:17

well it was on 103bhp, its now on 105bhp, with the VEETAK controller it ought to make it to 106bee haich pee. i definately think so

BD10NNF · 26 Jan 2010 at 08:19

Well with the mods it should be pushing 125hp which has been proven.

Oh god not Vtec controllers again, my head still hurts from bashing it off the wall last thread.

BD10NNF · 26 Jan 2010 at 08:25

I just want to know the pros and cons and what they are like to use. Only asking cause people on here have Hondas either civic or an integra and might have one.

Don't forget the camshafts from a suitable vtec engine,

Pop em straight into your motor and the jobs a goodun! Vtec kicked in'yo.

what u may mean is actually CAMCON which controls VVTi etc for Toyota engines and VTEC for honda engines. they also do fuel trim too.

you can usually get them for around £200~

on your car maybe smooth out the power band a little and give a few ponies here and there!

dont listen to the anti mod brigade!

It isn't the anti-mod brigade, its the anti-idiocy brigade.

if he has spent a few hundred modding the car, what is idiotic about spending a couple hundred more to sort out the VVti and A/F ?

Who's said this?

Worthwhile but only if you can adjust the fuelling and ignition timing to suit. Dropping the VTEC point a bit can smooth out the transistion and improve midrange.

Nick1881 · 26 Jan 2010 at 09:46

If you are changing cams then it could be a good idea, otherwise don't fiddle, Toyota set them as they are for a reason.

Improving the midrange ON A YARIS.

stulid · 26 Jan 2010 at 09:49

I would fit an upgraded distributor from a honda legend too.

^^ for economy, not performance...

think of it like overclocking...your engine is setup to do xxx but you can overcook it with ecu mods and there you go, more performance.

iaind · 26 Jan 2010 at 09:55

This is what we have to remember, one word. Yaris.

Any money spent on it is entirely pointless and would be better spent saving for a real car

Isn't this like upping the FSB on a DX4/100 though?
