    Agreed, their stuff makes big peaks numbers but takes 5 minutes to make them, unless of course you are sat revving the nuts off something at a christams tree for 30 secs.

    Driving a manual over there qualifies you as a 'performance' specialist [:s]

    well, if you wanto to talk facts, try knowin them first!





    The 12v is SOHC. it has a single cam for each bank of cylinders, with exhaust and inlet lobes on each cam, the overlap is fixed.


    24v has 2 cams. front one controls allthe inlets, rear one controls exhausts. cam sprockets are variable, they can twiston the cams, adjusted by hydraulic pressure, controlled by solenoids controlled by the ECU. it's clever stuff, and it works. 24v also has a variable inlet manifold which works in a similar way to the schrick, which is also plastic, and thus...light.
