wow VVT head onto an RS engine. Mucho respect for doing that mate. Definitely will be following this to see how you get on.

Good luck with sourcing a loom.

There was one on ebay a few days ago complete and brand new I think. Dont know if its still there

dammit lol. I thought this was going to be a VVT head RS engine!!

Everyone who sources a damn ST170 head disables VVT lol. I just want to see someone do it instead of wimping out of the cost/effort so I can copy it

so what's the advantage of using an ST170 head if you disable the VVT???

It's Czech Mate

It flows loads more, its a much better head

and as far as I know its variable cam timing not VVT like Vtech

zetecapri

its just a different name, vvt changes the inlet cam timing thus being variable valve timing.

The st170 has bigger ports and valves as standard

as said above, the st170 is a very good head for flow and can support big bhp specs
