Having the ability to tune the VVEL and have full control over the ECU will always bring advantages to the table. But at what price will it be worth it?
Let's say for example, we threw a Motec on this engine and had full control over it. Is the cost worth the extra control?
Looking at the dyno graph this is a Picasso. Can more control make it better? That remains to be seen.
As for the VVEL progress, we did run into a little snag with the hardware we are using. Our intention was to be very cost conscious of the system we offer. Unfortunately, the company that was supplying the hardware folded up shop so we are working on Plan B.
Plan B involves a lot more than just a VVEL controller. Long term, we will be developing a universal full standalone EMS option similar to the HKS FCon V-Pro. A system like that does require a lot of time to develop so please be patient while we get this going.
As far as Uprev working on VVEL control, I really hope they do because it would be the most affordable option. However, like theDreamer said, they aren't interested in working on it at this point.
