jevansio Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Just wanted to check if there are any issues with me buying a VVTi lump to replace my knackered engine. I'll only be using the block & head (not inlet manifold or turbo side). Just wanted to make sure my inlet & exhaust would bolt up with no issues. Also if I just stick with the stock cams that can the "VVTiness" be controlled via my current AEM (or is there a VVTi AEM). Any other problems with swapping over some of my non-vvti parts ie any problems with any of the ancilarries or gearbox/clutch/flywheel bolting up.

michel lane Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 why do you want to change to vvti ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 I fitted a VVTi block onto mine, using my original non-VVTi head. The engine I fitted was from a JZS161 Aristo so a few things needed to be swapped from my existing engine, apart from that there were no issues.

But that aside, I don't see why not? You can have the VVTi "locked" into the high rpm range. The DBW will be sacrificed as part of your inlet setup too, so it's just down to losing the VVTi control. Unless you upgrade to Syvecs as well!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Just noticed you said you were using the VVTi head, I only used the block and bottom end, I used a non-VVTi head. The block you shouldn't have an issue with, using the head may be a different story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Get a none VVTi one, don't go looking for more agg...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted February 12, 2010 Author Share Posted February 12, 2010 Cheers guys, It was all based around the fact that it opens up more engine opportunitites to buy (and potentially lower mileage ones too). Thanks for all the input though, I'm collectiung all this info so I can make the best decision when I decide what to do with the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Throw your single kit on mine to see how it goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Get a none VVTi one, don't go looking for more agg...... As CW said.... I've done the VVTi transplant into a car and it is a nightmare potentially... Wiring looms are different, clocks are different and while you might not have major issues it won't be a simple drop in.
