VVT @cruise for MPG

Has anyone figured out if you want minimum or maximum overlap?

Relevant to my interests.

Hopefully someone has some good info for us. I plan to experiment with it later, but for now its minimal advance in cruise cells for the next few tanks. Tuned on the lean side and hoping to achieve decent mileage on e85.

Pg 73 should have the relevant information.

That suggests big overlap to get EGR effects.

Quote:

Increasing overlap to
increase internal EGR
to reduce pumping loss

Better fuel economy
Improved emission control

These 2 things go hand in hand though. Another thing I would suggest is go digging through the Ecomodder forum and see if you can find more information about cam timing in relation to improving MPG.

I havent passed the sniffer test here with my 04 motor due to high NOx. I need to get the car back on the road within a few days. This would be much easier than plumbing and controlling a stock egr valve.
