VVT Install Questions

Three questions:

1) Can VVT be installed along with a DoD?

2) What are all the parts necessary to install a VVT system in a LSX

3) Once installed can it be locked in a certain phase via tune?

Thanks in advance!

I am pretty sure the VVT varies throughout the RPM and load. You would be defeating the VVT if you locked it into a set"phase" as you call it. Just my .02

YES

Things like the phaser, timing cover, PCM, harness, etc

Yes, you can lock it anywhere you want, but that would be giving you less power than the VVT gives you potential for.

Youll need pistons with valve notches too.

VVT parts

I have the VVT timing cover, cam gear, cam and water pump from a 2009 6.2 Denali if you are interested.

PM me.

Also, does anyone know the total degree range of advance/retard timing for the the VVT system?

The phaser can turn the camshaft over a range of 31 degrees relative to the cam sprocket (or 17 degrees advance, 45 degrees retard relative to the crank).
