I forget sometimes that I can get this stuff state side and I have a great HKS tunner.:naughty: With out the tunner, these engines feel wierd! I've been around a few HKS FconV and FconV pro tuned 1jz's and all I can say is WoW!:aigo:
HKS tuners want godly money I think SP quoted me more then my entire car setup for just the tune alone & then if you do any mod at all to your engine you have to fork up more $$$ just for any mod thats why I must say a well tuned MOTEC which anyone could do is the way better route.
A well tuned any car with any managment is :aigo: but MKIII owners will most usualy keep their oem ecu and add a piggy back like apexi neo etc..
Some owners even when going to standalone wont have their engines tuned for a while.

Dual VVTi has been around 2001 with the introduction of Dual Beams on the 3SGE.
Where do you copy and paste your information from?
VVTi GTE engines are just as capable to make the same power as non VVTi engines. IF you want to take advantage of VVTi you have to pay, but the results are amazing! Imagine spooling up a T51R KAI SPL turbo like if it was a GT30R. The Valcom controller is available with a 264 cam for the the VVTi, Yes, It does cost money but if you are serious about your project, im sure this mod would be on your list of parts to buy if you wanted to do it right.
Here is a vid of car that is used in racing, that is using VVTi. Make sure your speakers are turned up to hear the sexyness!
600 hp
Need I say more?
I agree I even said VVTI engines in theory have an advantage and could make the same power as a non vvti but have the advantage of an adjustable cam gear at any RPM range! The problem is if you look at most 1000hp+ engines no one is desperate enough to add VVTI to the compexitys of tunning with cost to get that little more power out of VVTI engines.
Also I have a 2000 black top Dual VVTI engine right now inside of a 1800lb Opel GT looks like this car but will be all black when done
So I know Duel VVTI have been out since 2000.
Also I have sourced alot my information from
http://www.billzilla.org/fraser.htm
I also have sourced my information from years of research such vehicles as 2000 HKS Altezza, ROD MILLANS Ultimate Celica, PJ Bonifacio Levin, Top Secret twin charged Altezza, TOM's Supra.
2JZ info come from way to many hours of being a tuner nerd and working on engines.
If you notice the 4th gen 3SGE is anything but weak compaired to the turbo engine this VVTI engine is factory with forged & titanium internals. with compression mods and a turbo kit these have been know to crank out as high as 800HP figures.
This engine has also been substituted for JZ engines in track supras because they are lighter and produce just enough power to move the car fast and keep the weight down but they have money out the azz to do this.
Here is more information and such how to tune duel or single VVTI for that matter and proof you could make 300+ crank HP out of a 2.0ltr NA BEAMS dual VVTI engine:naughty:
