B16A-T valve overlap, tuning out w/ timing gears setting???
Does anyone know the proper adjustable cam gear settings to tune out vtec valve overlap???
Regarding my turbo setup
"due to the VTEC system, cam timing on the B16 raises some issues that need attention. The valve overlap, intake and exhaust valves open at the same time, can lead to exhaust gasses reversion issues. Reversion occurs during valve overlap and exhaust gasses are drawn back into the cylinder. Obviously this is not a good thing when you are forcing an already hot, pressurized intake charge into the cylinder. It can lead to detonation and generally poor performance. Fortunately with the use of adjustable cam gears the overlap can be tuned out."-G2IC turbo guide
thank you
