The long and boring saga of my NB1 is coming to a close, as I now have a grotty NB2 engine running in it. Everything works except for the VVT system, which I don't have any way to control at the moment and I'm out of money for an ECU or piggyback for the near future. Is there any risk of hurting anything if I just leave it unplugged? What if I flog on it?
I know your funds are limited, but a Power Enterprise cc-101 could help control the VVT-i intake cam.
You won't hurt anything, you'll just be down on power.
You're fine leaving it unplugged. The cam runs in full retard when the solenoid is inactive. You're just losing out on some midrange torque. It does make a pretty noticeable difference once you get it working.
IIRC, DiYAuto still makes a standalone VVT controller might be an option until you're ready for an ECU.
Thanks guys. The DIYAuto box is $200 and I'd like to go MS3 down the road so I'm going to hold off if it's not going to blow up.
