MG MGF Technical - where does the VVC kick in

Just wondering if anyone knows exactly where on the rev scale, the vvc kicks in?
TM

It doesn't 'kick in' it comes on gently, so the effect is the engine just keeps pulling.

I think over 4k, but only with the engine hot.

Will got there before me but ...

My VVC "kicks in" on the A414 every morning.

Mine seems to start 'properly' at 3.5 k revs +

although limiter stops at only 6.2k revs in 3rd which i found strange...it is 7k in 1st and 2nd...
John

This doesn't exactly answer your question, but its good and very rare

Mr E

The vvc is working all the time. Has five cams, so doesn't jump like the Honda.

I read that its constant as the cams adjust to give you the maximum air/fuel mix at any given point. Meaning that your car is more efficient and more powerful than a standard MGf so burns the same amount of fuel. It has a smoother power curve and max power to weight ratio is at about 6000 rpm.. i think?
