Because of the way the bonnets are shaped (the raised section in the middle), only a small section of the bracing underneath needs to be cut for the engine to clear. No need to cut gaping holes into the bonnet! Can you take a pic of the bracing when you have done it?

Oooh oooh! More news! I'm getting a Haltech E11v2! I've been assured it will be able to control the VCT on my engine.

Haha, yuss i have a dodgy stick-on bulge, very dodgy.....really! It's s**t haha Dansedgli, to be honest it wasn't me that made the call it was the workshop that is going to do the instal, i thought i'd just shorten the story a bit haha. I did explain to the installer that it was VCT and that it doesn't work like VTec, but now you have brought it up i'll have to make double sure! Better to be safe than sorry |

Did you tell them its not like Vtec yo? Okay just confirmed that there is a new software update for the E11 (v117) that includes the ability to program 2 VCT actuators. |

Can the ECU sense the position of each cam?

Isnt that the point of having a BA engine? VCT? (not being rude/smartass.. just curious) |

the vct doesn't actually do that much for performance. it delivers some lower end torque but it is mostly there for exhaust valve overlap to help control emissions etc. Ive driven several ba's with the vct disconnected and the stll drive fine. and if you get the cam gears from atomic you can lock them in place and you really wont feel the difference.

An XF throttle body and bracket will make things easier.
