Hi guys

This is a bit of a strange question but..

If the two VCT solenoids were unplugged, what would happen to the cam timing?

Would it sit at 0deg, or vary all over the place according to oil pressure/revs ect?

Cheers!

I beleive it stop the cam timing from advancing/retarding which would probably make it feel abit doughy and probably be down on power, but anybody feel free to correct me if im wrong...

I believe(personally) that it would be similar to timing being same across the board. I also wondered about a similar thing as I had a Vtec typeR dc22 and wondered if an HKS v-tec controller would help the ford any ?

Humm ok

I'm putting a BA/BF motor in an earlier falcon with a haltech, so I won't be using the VCT.

I was just interested to see how it would go before forking out for the atomic vernier gears.

Will run fine, im doing same sorta conversion but into a MK1 Capri on Motec...

Yep it will run fine. Will probably just make a smaller power band. That's all.

that's what I wanted to hear! :D

Besides the power band change its more for economy on fuel isn't it?

that's right from what I've read, it changes the timing when cruising.

Advances at low revs and retards up high. Think bf actually advances again just before limiter to pull some power back
