Nvcs - When Is The Best Time To Turn It On ?

[Guilt-Toy]

I am wondering when would be the best time in the rpm range to turn on NVCS ?

I have it set to 4000rpm at the moment and i think that is a bit too late....

Does anyone know what the best combination would be ? i do lots of freeway driving so would it be bad to have it turned on for long periods of time on the freeway if i set it to 2500rpm that would mean it will be on all the time when driving on the freeway...

if its not good then i could set it to 3200rpm or something....

anyone have any information or experience on this ?

It should turn on just off idle and turn off again somewhere in the mid 5's. I can't remember the exact revs.

Mine is set to switch off at 4500 from memory which gained me a few rwkw between 4500 and 5500. Setting it lower made no difference.

so you set the vct option in the power fc software to 4500 ?

[BHDave]

yep. tried it at 5, 4.5 and 4. 4.5 was the winner for me.

And where is this setting located??

It's one of the features you can only get to with the lap top software. I don't know which version my tuner uses sorry.

dyno once with the solenoid unplugged, and a second with it wired perminently on.. where the two lines cross is the ideal powerband to engage it at.. perhaps a couple of hundred rpm earlier to give it time to activate..

to edit the vct kick off you need;

fc pro software

power excel software

fc datalogit

fc tune

and a suitable cable
