How odd, you would need a trick ecu to run it but doubt it is necessary as this is the first I have heard of one.

I seen this aswell I wonder how effective it is? I'd imagine you'd get abit more torque if it was done right. Looks like it's sold now anyway

Interesting, did you notice a difference before and after?

Could you post some pictures, capri-rs? Seems it would be simple to manipulate the breakpoints.

Do you know how much angle available for adjustment?

I've been thinking of designing some, but if they are available off the shelf theres no need for that.

i have had mine for 15 years, never used them though because of what rainer told me then,
these cant be bought anymore but basicly its a gundrilled cam with oil pressure to control the vanes, guess the zytec ecu used back then on the sierras wasnt capable of controling the cams then,now there are more capable ecus out there.
me kan ta det pĺ norsk pĺ pm hvis du vil

thats has both exhaust and intake valve control, think its opplieger design also.
the wolf setup has a better design IMHO and was tried and tested during 91-94 season in touring cars
