Yeah, there was something much cooler about the newer VANOS than the older...forgot what it was though. Anyone know for sure?

You should try water/methanol injection. Cheaper than 100 Octane and easier to get day to day.

No, I'm using it on a turbo Miata - an '01 so still a 10:1 CR. I have the System 2c driven by an aftermarket ECU. I inject water based on a RPM/MAP 3d map, I don't use the injector PW or a boost trigger. No issues at all with it - what kind of problems have been reported on S2K's?
