    Aftermarket camshaft with limiter VVT settings

    Been getting alot of mixed info looking into the forums.

    For vvt cars running aftermarket camshafts with limiters

    Wouldn't you set the intake min to icl of installed camshaft and max 14? higher than minimum?

    Also when adjusting your intake & exhaust WOT cam angles, the tuning school book just gives a starting point of 109? and max of 112? for the intake side, then states to do a pull then add 2? until result deminish, but if Icl is 107?, wouldn't you start at 107? then follow same process?

    Maybe I'm over thinking stuff, just can't get clear answers.

    Not everything is question marks lol I guess the symbol for degrees doesn't work on here

    Hold "Alt" and type "0176" for a ? symbol.

    Aside from that, I don't have any input.

    Good luck!

    It gets complicated in a hurry. Hemituna has some good posts about it.

    You have to keep in mind that the PCM can't know what cam is in there. It may be ground with a different centerline - ie where the locating dowel is in relation to the lobes. So you need to account for any difference between the expected OEM cam centerline and the new aftermarket cam centerline by adding or subtracting to you table data.
    If in doubt, multiply everything by 1.1.

    I keep this as the background image on my tuning laptop. It helps sometimes with visualizing what's actually happening.
