I haven't really heard of VVTL-i in anything other than the 2ZZGE. Can anyone clarify for me?

The Lexus LFA I believe only used VVT-i on intake and exhaust.
Correct. And AFAIK the 2ZZ is the only engine that used VVTL-i.

Can't wait for Valvematic to hit it's stride though. Feel like they are taking forever with it.


p.s. Thread derailment much guys?
