xrt Member 160 Member For: 16y 9m 24d Posted 20/02/14 08:02 AM Share Posted 20/02/14 08:02 AM Has anyone gone down the path of an aftermarket ecu for vct control on the coyote yet?550hp with no aggressive idle just doesnt do it for me anymore.Is there any options out there ECU wise that will be able to control cams or even just do a 'ghost cam tune' like the mustang guys are getting.

xrt Member 160 Member For: 16y 9m 24d Posted 20/02/14 09:07 AM Author Share Posted 20/02/14 09:07 AM As far as I've heard they cant adjust the exhaust timing, making aftermarket cams pretty much un tuneable and ghost cam tunes arent possible.Correct me if im wrong but I though that's why tuners such as herrod have failed in their efforts in cam development?

Benny Member 1,869 Member For: 21y 8m 8d Gender: Male Location: Newcastle Posted 20/02/14 10:00 AM Share Posted 20/02/14 10:00 AM There is no wiring loom to the exhaust cam solenoid. You'll notice there is a little cap over the plug on your cam covers. The Oz ECU doesn't haven't enough outputs to drive the exhaust solenoid I believe.
