No, it's not closed loop. But that's a weird question

Why? How would you know exactly how far the cam has moved if all you have to go by it oil pressure? Cold day, thicker oil... and so on. If you can't check where the cam is you are just assuming it has moved going by the oil pressure you want via signal to the solenoid.

i was also under the impression the exhaust side was only really an emissions thing, not necessarily performance related - but if the rb25 VCT is up to say 5000rpm, you could then fiddle with the exhaust side from then onwards for a little more top end perhaps?

BMW must have seen benefits to controlling both cams as they changed from single to dual vanos with the s54.

It is for emissions, that is mainly why they vary the exhaust.

You can change the VCT set points to whatever you want

Umm, There is a stop point where the cam stops. Regardless of oil temp/flow/pressure.

Its not closed loop as there is no feedback needed.

Its on....... or off........ The computer all ready knows this.

If it was a full variable system where the cam was infinitely adjustable (by the degree) then yes most defiantly a closed loop system would be needed.

So the system is open loop.

big mike has vipec therefor it makes it a VCAM not just the normal nissan switched !

No it doesn't, it can still only be switched on or off.... unless you tried pulsing it on and off to get some degree inbetween, but I wouldn't like the chances of that working properly.

The benefits are as stated above. The principle is to increase and decrease the overlap of the camshafts by changing the valve timing on one side. By doing both sides, you are still increasing or decreasing overlap, just in a different way. I'm not going to spend thousands making a system to do both sides as the benefit would be nil or minimal.

Ok, misunderstood... on or off. That makes it a lot easier to control; they did not try very hard when Nissan developed it :)

I thought it was a fully variable, in that case the Vipec could control with PWM signal. At least Walks510 thinks its funny.

i believe the new series of nissan v8's run closed loop vvt the vk56vd engine

and you probably couldn't run them with a vipec either.

If the vipec has PWM control that can be mapped to a rev table l I don't see why you couldn't. Eg revs vs PWM output, just be a simple 1 dimensional table.

You don't need any physical inputs, you just need the PWM output and use RPM as your input.

For it to be closed loop it will need a signal input from the camshaft position sensor that you will need to install. You can't just use RPM as an input for closed loop as it's unrelated to what you are adjusting

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.

      spot the stagea

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
