Camcon VVTi Cam Timing Controller Thoughts?
Here is an item i found browsing the web. It claims 15% more power. Any thoughts? Anyone try it already?

This is INTERESTING. Only piggyback I know to control VVT-i (Garm, your custom FIC doesn't count). I know PE has a pretty bad rep on this forum, but otherwise I believe they're trusted elsewhere. The price isn't ludicrous either. Depending on the feedback here I may decide to be the guinea pig rather than going with an eManage blue...

Jason uses (or was using) the CamCon with good results. There is more than one thread on it on here.

If you run stock and use the car for daily/street use, Toyota's stock cam timing setting is the best of all on an average on all engine speed and loads. You probably can get 15% more on high mid till high rev range but you then are probably loosing 25% of power between low to mid range speed. Although you can still try it out and prove me wrong |

I don't have my laptop with the dyno charts with me, but we found improvements throughout the power band, hp and tq. Short of a stand alone, I would say it is a worthwhile mod. Found my previous post on our results: Checked the files, 11.1lb-ft tq and 13.2hp, on a Dynapack. Keep in mind those are flywheel numbers calculated from the hubs, not at the wheels power.

Thats awesome. Someone is offering me one new for $300. It is the old model CC-101, which model are you using Jason? Which other mods are you using with this?

I think it is a 101, no idea what the difference is.

Jason, since you track your car often, you probably reset your ecu a lot. Do you know if the ecu adapts to settings over time?
Also, how greatly does your tune vary from the settings posted by power enterprises. |

I did not tune it, we use a pro, so I have no idea how the settings compare. But imo, if you buy any type of tuning device and don't get a pro tune, on a dyno, you are not getting the full potential out of it - a tune needs to be calculated into the cost.

thats great to know, i'm definitely going to get it now. i'll get a better tune eventually, but with all of the other parts i still need to add, it would be a waste to do it now.
teejay, what gas are you using? |

good to hear you'll enjoy if any problems does arrise ill let ya'll know. btw the 100 octane in japan would be like our 87 theres different restriction they have out there and etc etc.
im using just regular 87 i feel like i get a slight power increase out of the 89 but i figure as long as i stay with a top tier brand it should be fine. |
