Well, U should not. U can only adjust the valve timing moderately, so in case of a wrong setup U lose some power and release some unwanted fire and smoke, making your O2 sensors and ECU crazy, but otherwise nuthing else should happen. VANOS cant make the camshafts go out of sync... IMHO. If U screw this up, dont even try to sue me

[judec]

Well, U can ask him. But my experience is, ppls like this are not really eager to share their knowledge... at least not 4 free... or not sober.
I made a small research of this topic a few years ago when I found some camshaft adjusters for my engine and wondered what are they good for - well, maybe it could do s/t in experienced hands and it would be definitely worth a few new wires to Precede (or ******, whatever)

[Terry335]

Not knowing much about the system, it seems it should already run the max intake and exhaust duration at higher RPM by default. Why wouldn't it? Maybe there is just a midrange RPM benefit?

If you have an exhaust it's easy to hear the exhaust valve control in action. When you first start your car it will pretty loud, then quiet down after 45 seconds or so. It's leaving the exhaust side open longer to heat the cats up.

I'll translate this for you:

In the manner that you want to describe them (Digital Inputs etc.)
The 335 XEDE has 3 digital in and 5 digital out
and another 3 analogue in and 3 analogue out
and a switch circuit for dual map switching
and a power control pin so that the unit is not left powered 24/7

Found this older post.

I assume Lok is familar with the xede.

So on the analog signals we have o2 bank a, o2 bank b, and map. On digital channel 1 we have crank position. That leaves 1 digital channel for VANOS or speed limiter.

Sounds like RDSport took the speed limiter route with that channel. Maybe exhaust vanos control would be a better option? Shrug.

[e.n335]

Vanos on BMW's exists for a relatively long time. However, only one of the reputable German BMW tuners does it as a hypofunction of their ECU flashes. So it must be a complex comprehensive software tuning parameter. If somebody incorporates vanos control successful in a tuning concept, it's a great achievement. Nothing trivial. @Terry: Nice to see your other face from time to time.

The PROcede v2 uses 4 digital I/O's... so probably 1 for crank, 2 for VANOS, and 1 for speed.

It also means you probably need at least 6 more wires in your PROcede harness to upgrade to the full v2.

I dont see how the XEDE could keep up, without new hardware, you just dont have enough I/O's

The more hardware update ( in this case ), the better . Shiv only skipped one PROcede evolution step .

Take it easy, some of us are happy with resistors, others with wires.

I am really interested in what AA and RD-Sport will come up with. The ****** is out of scope thus it has the best hp/price ratio and wins anyway .

Nope, don't see a lie. I see a statement made in April that was no doubt made with all sincerity . Competition compelled Shiv to up the ante.

Well... These were also from april... not that I care... just trying to be fair to everyone... (the mention of speed sensor input = new wires) Seriosuly though... does it really matter? its a friggen wire...

With it, we will incorporate launch control, torque management, and a whole slew of safety/driveability features. It can also be used to bump up (or eliminate) the speed limiter. It's been tested in the 12Hr Bathurst race cars on the track. Will start testing it in our street car next week. Just give us a bit more time

You said he didnt know what was going to be in V2 in april, therefor it was not a lie... but he specifically stated v2 features before that point... and did know that it would require more wires/inputs/outputs, etc.. which is what terry said he lied about... dont worry about it, I am just playing terry's games...

[e.n335]

Just buy a PROcede ( if it will be sold to you ) and be happy as we are ...

as stated many many many times by me now... I have always planned to buy a PROcede... I have been waiting until the basic feature set is not in a "here is what is coming soon" state... I will buy v2.

[Terry335]

I'm still waiting for an ECU tune myself.

I still haven't seen enough evidence to join with you and Terry in calling Shiv a liar.

You will be pleased ... Nobody expected this fast improvements, if any. The PROcede is and will further be a success story. AA and RD-Sport are pretty quiet since days ...

Here are some of my reasons behind my decision to wait...
1. Current PROcede wire harnesses do not have the wires to support v2 features
2. No officially released map switch yet (wireless or wired), sorry, but I NEED a wife mode.
3. Fuel pump problems (my pump got replaced with a pump that i think might go out again!)
4. Waiting to see if anyone's cars blow up

these go back to last year even... This thread has some nice info on Shiv's wireless map switch I am waiting for...

Maybe he is so disorganized he forgot what was planned for the update in the days between those posts.

1. I know the PROcede harness in and out. It's no issue to add or to remove a wire. Zero skill requirement.
2. It is still announced. If you need a solution in advance, use my wireless access.
3. The fuel pump problem is not related to the PROcede, it's a random problem.
4. I am fine with the current experience.

Stop waiting, enjoy what's available. I always can wait for something better or cheaper. I will end up in beeing frustrated and having nothing. Enjoy life !
