Is the Variable Volume Intake System function controlled electrically, via ECU actuated solenoids alone, or is there a necessity for vacuum to be present for it to function properly?
The relevance here is that, under NA conditions, at a certain rpm, with a certain level of vacuum present, the VVIS butterflies open up. So, if one is using FI, and boost (positive pressure inside the intake manifold) is present, would that then inhibit the function, if it relies on vacuum to operate? If yes, then, are we all running around under boost without the benefit of the VVIS, because it needs vac to function? If so, how can that be bypassed?
It is rumoured that the 'legendary' RTR NSX w/the custom Vortech setup had fully disabled the VVIS, so that the manifold had max volume fulltime.
OK, team, have at it...
