I have driven my car with a hybrid K03 with the VVT active and turned off. It seems to be a bit torquier off boost with VVT active….but I haven’t seen enough of a difference to justify the expense of buying a VVT tensioner. Now if you have a good used laying around is it worth the time to install it? Sure.

bravo sda2! well done!

Alright! For now I'll have to skip on it due to budget, but will certainly get one in the future along with the 20v cams.

Today I did the conversion. I just added two wires to the existing loom, put them in the appropriate pins on the ECU connector and that's that. I found out that on my car I need to remove pin #61 or the fans won't work properly.

Wasn't that bad to be honest, just make sure to not use a wire that's too thick (18 gauge is good).

Along with this fitted some 870cc Siemens injectors and a base calibration map, it idles decent but after checking in there is no lambda feedback happening. It is reporting temperature and the heater module appears to work (checked with vcds), but the voltage is stuck on 1.520v.

Not getting any "open circuit" codes so not sure what's holding me up here.. hoping for some advice

Remove (for my AJQ loom white) pin #61 (right next to 12v pin #62) that's all

Do you perhaps have any advice on getting this lambda to feedback properly...
