SAM08U Member 9 Member For: 17y 2m 23d Posted 12/12/07 09:01 AM Share Posted 12/12/07 09:01 AM I have heard of people locking the cam gears when the run an aftermarket ecu, I understand that the cam gears are electronically and hydraulically advanced and retarted.But what would happen if the cam gear plugs were unplugged - would both cams stay at 0 degrees or will they stay advanded or retarted. Is there a chance of them adjusting even though diconnected. Are there any replacement gears available that can be manually adjusted like on 2J's (Very Familiar with them as I work for Gas Motorsport/RotorMaster)I ask these questions as I am pretty sure I will have an aftermarket computer for my motor as I understand the standard BA computer will go straight into loop mode which I have posted more questions about in the ECU section as its more appropriate there!

SAM08U Member 9 Member For: 17y 2m 23d Posted 12/12/07 10:41 AM Author Share Posted 12/12/07 10:41 AM I would like to use the standard ECU but since the motor is an EL im sure if I can use the standard computer, so in case I have to opt for an aftermarket ECU im just trying to understand what has to be done to cam gears only to bypass the Dual VCT and the aftermarket wont be able to run it, not planning to change cams.

SAM08U Member 9 Member For: 17y 2m 23d Posted 12/12/07 11:16 AM Author Share Posted 12/12/07 11:16 AM It is a BA '04' Turbo and is an EL Falcon.The plans are to turn this car into a dyno car to go beside my boss's car - GAS2JZ a 1200RWHP Supra. I want to run the standard BA Turbo Computer but am not sure if it will run without all the rest of the BA electrical hardware and im sourcing my options if I have run an aftermarket computer which I know none can run Dual VCT, which I will have to lock if I do run an aftermarket computer. is this correct!
