Hydra & AVCS
I'm trying to determine what do do with AVCS on my built motor:
EJ22T Bored & Sleeved to 2.5L Kelford 10.7mm lift 272/274 AVCS cams Ported V7 big port heads w/ 1mm larger valves My concern is: how much AVCS advance can I run with this setup, and how should I control it? I've heard a couple things about the Hydra concerning AVCS. Both that it doesn't use closed loop AVCS control and also that it does. I also heard that in the WRX, it's open loop and in the STi, it's closed loop. And also heard that the new version of the Hydra has true closed loop AVCS control... So what's the real story? Phil, can you shed light on this? I'm wondering if I should have just gone non AVCS. Sigh. When I drop the motor in, I'll leave the AVCS solenoids unplugged until I figure out which way to go. Thanks! Russ

As for tuning for AVCS, the two people you need to talk to about this is bboy and Phil. bboy (Trent) is a local Hydra user to us and started an entire thread regarding AVCS tuning. Do a search and you'll find it (it's in the main em forum, not this one). That said, you can just have Phil tune the car. The nice thing about having one of the best tuners in the nation tune your car is you won't have to worry about how the Hydra controls AVCS. He tunes it, you don't worry about it. And if you didn't know, he's in town right now. I don't know if your car is up and running, but you should at least make a trip to World One in the next couple of days before he leaves so you can meet him and chat with him about it. I'm sure he'd love to see your car. |

Thanks keaniegenie,
I found that thread... pretty cool! So it looks like the Hydra does utilize closed loop AVCS control on the STi. Now my only remaining question (for this minute) is: How much AVCS advance is advisable with 10.7mm cams? --------------- Speed Is Life |

I heard that he is, but you better get a hold of him or someone at World One soon. His time slots fill quickly.

When I did my 2.5l swap, I didn't run AVCS at first. I later wired it in. It made more a difference in bottom-end response and spool up than the extra .5l displacement. |
