The FA20 uses dual AVCS (on both intake and exhaust cams). But that's essentially the same as VVTI. One profile with an oil pressure actuated cam gear to advance or retard the cam's timing.
this sounds very similar to i vtec found in the honda k series, they use this cam advancement feature, really screams when it hits and allows tuners to bring out alot more power from it
