GS300 Sport Mk1 acceleration

[Dobbin]

Hi All

Can anyone explain why I seem to get average acceleration up to about 3500rpm and then it seems to give an extra surge up to the red line ?

It's very similar to what you'd get with a variable timed engine, but I thought the GS300 Mk1 didn't have variable valve timing.:?:

Just for the record I love this car - I've only had it for just over a month and it's a real pleasure to drive (apart from the steering vibration that others have experienced as well and the drivers door seems to vibrate a bit a high speed - all minor niggles though).

Thanks in advance

You get an extra "surge" when the VVTi starts working, and when the engine gets into its normal "power band".

I think that Mat's prolly the expert on this stuff.

doesnt the 2jzgte use ACIS or TVIS?

Me neither.

Are they just different abbreviations for types of variable timing ?

I still can't find anywhere that says the Mk1 uses any sort of variable timing

Dude,

Just be thankful that you are not basking in the obscurity of the blue oval!!

I have the VVTI version and it don't feel like anything special. its the fact that is able to change gears without driver or passenger feeling a thing! limo-like smoothness. All you really need to know is that the car is bomb proof and brisk with it. Never been in a Mk1, must try one someday... any offers?

and another thing....

Why us there more room in the shorter MK2 than the longer Mk1?

Cos in the Mk1, the petrol tank is behind the rear seats - it's underneath in the Mk2

Well I've just got a MK1 and live in Yorkshire, so you let me have a go in yours and I'll let you have a go in mine :)

It's all down to the ECU, Map-i set-up. If you want to spice up your curves get it chipped, properly.
