VVT calibration
#23
To be honest, I wrote this up to give DIYers some how-to traction for VVT stuff. Most DIY guys are constantly tinkering and the calibration can last for months, which is what this would need. The calibration effort for a new VVT cam is too intensive to perform completely over the course of something like a weekend. There are some shortcuts to use to ballpark the VVE, which I mentioned in the original post...but it still requires substantial effort to get right. Ideally you'd need an engine dyno, a direct connection with the ECM (no CAN, too slow) and a robotic driver running scripts for hours on end to collect the data. Then you'd post-process the data by running various regression analyses on it to generate the VVE coefficients. That's basically how the manufacturers perform base calibrations.
This really is something that would be better suited to mail order/email tuning, odd as that is to say. Not something Richard couldn't handle...and I know he loves complicated challenges that go on indefinitely
