The answer will be something along the lines of yes if you've got enough money. I'd imagine a lot of mapping time would be needed.

I don't call it VVT as people get confused with Variable Valve Timing. The name is VNT (Variable Nozzle Turbine). It’s good as it acts like a small A/R housing at low rpm and a high A/R at high rpm with a smooth transition between the two. It is always worth considering however it is far more expensive and has a poorer durability that the standard GT series although they are improving over time.

a friend had one on a 1.4 R5 gtt, with suitable internal mods (fully forged, lightened & balanced)
trouble with traction sometimes, but was very very quick, would easily leave most coupes in the lower gears. full boost around 2ish k

Expensive or not, i would love to get one of these installed in my car I don't know if the variable turbine is mechanical or if it's controlled by electronics. I agree with Flea. I know for sure on a 16VT you would have problems mapping the car on a stock ecu because it's verry slow reacting to boost. I spent ages sorting the fuel enrichment during the spoolup zone on a 16V with a roler bearing turbo. IHI is a verry good brand, i've got one of those on my delta.

one of my housemates has 3 garret gt28 variable vane turbos which he was going to put onto his supra but hase decided to go for a large single turbo instead and put up with lag. thinking of buying one off him to have a play with as he wants rid of them. if anyone wants to buy the other and have a play let me know. they are a very good bit of kit and there as rare as rocking horse 5h1t, he imported them from the states, i guess it'll be worth it but will cost a lot. btw you can just run them as a normal turbo at low boost so think i'll get mine installed then worry about the programming.

its an equvilent to a gt28 will have to check the a/r range or compressor map to see if it'll work on a coupe. unfortunatly its a b1tch to find any info on the things as theyre so rare and from the states. will post a pic of them up when i can.
Dink - it works by an acturator connected to a control box which you connect to the inlet manifold by vacuum tubing, it regulates the actuator (and therefore vane angle). the manifold pressure is used to open and close teh actuator and is regulated by a valve in the control box (rather like a boost controller)

pwm? if so, we could install an external boost controller and use the stock circuit for the EBV to run this via the overboost table... Xav and others what do you think? V.

The downside for tuning is that these turbos won't take extra boost very well. If you look at the aftermarket tuning pckages for the 997 turbo you'll see that most change the turbo

there are many vnt types on the market : vnt with electronic control vnt with oil pressure control and vnt with pneumatic control.. and what comes to the size... gt30, gt35, gt42 and even gt45 is there ! gt30 is about 50mm / 50mm wheels, gt40, what I have seen was 63mm compressor inducer and 65mm exhaust wheel. I can post you some Finnish e300 td mercedes pics with gt37 vnt turbo, if you want.. ( +400hp / 700nm )
