is it even possible to create a color changing cluster like that of a XRS whenever the VVT-Li kicks in???


some ppl dont know what i mean...

i want it so that it changes from blue to tred as i get closer to redline...


i know scions do not have vvt-li

i repeat.... I KNOW SCIONS DO NOT HAVE VVT-Li

whats the difference between vvt-i and vvt-li

tc1stgen

VVT-I stands for variable valve timing with intelligence. I have no idea what VVT-LI is. I have never heard of it.

should be able to rig something as a trigger to the vvt-i solenoid on the head,
perhaps have it trigger a relay..

I just looked at the video..
looks like it switches at 6500 rpm, and drops at off throttle
I'm thinkin shift light technolgy, but connected to a gauge LED

i know what vvt-i is, i don't know what vvt-li is or what the difference is

VVTL-i is Toyota's equivalent to VTEC... it's variable valve technology Lift with intelligence.... I actually think the new xD's have VVTL-i if I am not mistaken...

Lift it is on the 1.8 GT-S celica which had the most powerband of Life on any Toyoyta Car i believe kicking in around 6200 and revving to 8300 while the XRS have a shorter rate of Lift etc....

vvt-i adjusts cam timing, usually on the intake side of the engine.

vvtl-i adjusts not only cam timing but also valve lift, similar to honda's i-vtec.

vvtl-i
Variable Valve Timing with Limited Inteligence.. lol j/k

Black_Sheep_xB

I really like this idea..
sorry to keep posting random thoughts, but..
I think glow shift has a gauge face with multi colors for the B.
If you could design something similar, hooked up to a shift
light interal mechanism, or dual mechanism, you could have
one color as a shift/redline warning, and one color after
redline (or at rev limiter mark).. I would buy one..

Black_Sheep_xB

difference?
controlled valve lift as well as timing..
...VVTL-i has both Variable Valve Timing and Variable Valve Lift. The latter is achieved by an extra cam lobe that is brought into play by the engine electronics via a hydraulic actuator...

xD has dual vvt-i not li

2_much_tc

awesome, i knew they had something to that extent. thanks for the correction...

^^np homie

i dont see why not. thats on a celica. so i dont see why it shouldnt be. have you asked ledmod?

Black_Sheep_xB

that one is set at 6K.. still think its slightly modified shift light
technology

ADRdesignCo.. are you with ADR rims? if so pm me, please

theres no VVT-i solenoid VVT-i is on all the time

VVT-Li that has a solenoid...

Black_Sheep_xB

I replaced it once already, bought the part myself.. it has to have the solenoid, on all the time or not, it opens the oil passages engaging different phases of the vvt. correct? thats where the "i" comes in, it has inteligence on when to engage the extra lobes, the solenoid is the direct/physical link from electrical signal to mechanical response..
if you could figure out the pcm signal to this, theoretically, it would be triggered only when the vvt is functioning. which is all the time, so for this purpose, it is a bad idea. Gauge would be constantly changing colors, thats why i switched to the shift light theory.
