01 VVT Head on 94 block???
I know that the 99-00 head works on the earlier 1.8L engine but what about the 01+ VVT head? Also would my MS be able to use one if its outputs to control the VVT?

As I understand it VVT requires a squarewave to drive the solenoid as its constantly variable not just on or off. One option would be to use the EBC driver and PWM map but it hasn't been done yet and I'm not sure how you could get the MS to monitor the cam angle and contantly adjust in a closed loop (it has to do this as it modulates oil pressure to move the cam and the oil pressure will change as you rev the engine). Maybe a second MS1 running the solenoid from the injector driver so you can have a fully mappable cam advance?
Rev has made a separate controller for his VVT perhaps he can chime in?
The other option is to lock the cam in the 0 degrees position or swap in a static cam and remove all the VVT bullshit. Unfortunately you cannot just leave the VVT unplugged as the cam will then go fully retarded and you will make no power :(

It's just a solenoid...boost control tables work very well based on tps and rpm, could make it well very well. keep them open down low, and cruise for torque, closed for +4.5K and wot.
and really, the theory of communism is silly.
