I also wondered about a similar thing as I had a Vtec typeR dc22 and wondered if an HKS v-tec controller would help the ford any ?

I was just interested to see how it would go before forking out for the atomic vernier gears.

4LEDboy Member 11 Member For: 14y 9m 11d Posted 21/06/11 06:53 AM Author Share Posted 21/06/11 06:53 AM that's right from what I've read, it changes the timing when cruising.

Mr_4.0 Member 1,096 Member For: 14y 3m 13d Posted 21/06/11 08:24 AM Share Posted 21/06/11 08:24 AM Advances at low revs and retards up high. Think bf actually advances again just before limiter to pull some power back Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/75415-unplugging-the-vct-result/#findComment-1116122 Share on other sites More sharing options...
