speaking to a chap today who informed that he has heard of people who have done away with the wear and tear of the vanos issue with a kit which is from the states.
apparently the kit does away with the vanos all together and simply runs verniers pulleys on performance cams.
the down side is the adjustment of valve timing that the vanos obviously gives
the up side is no vanos issue from there on.
I suppose if revs are kept high enough on a track then its a win win but don't really have the figures to argue just how much the adjustment of valve timing gives lower down.
I can only think back to my old ford days when we adjusted advance on distributors for max benefit at top end and put up with poor idles etc as the distributor would max out it's advance by 2500 rpm. curious to know if vanos adjusts timing to its max potential at similar rpm as this would give some kind of idea to the losses lower down if done away with.
the chap is getting back to me in next day or so, so I intend to ask where the kit is sourced from out of pure curiosity.
just thought others may have heard about it.
