2010. Again good season! Our Latvian street tuning field is hibernated during last two years. So most of VEMS installs goes to the true race cars. E.g. about 70% of pro-class drifters chose VEMS. Including 3 podium places holders in season standings.
VEMS keep strong position in Latvian market. Mainly because of very reasonable price/performance. And of course - results. I didn't counted podiums this year - again was some tens. But we have two international champions using VEMS: in EEDC pro-drift serial and Baltic countries autocross championship 1A division. One overall winner comes also from Estonian five-round Firststop Drift cup. |

Here is just some cars I worked on:
Various BMW V8. Also setup with ITBs. Including Latvian pro-drift champion of 2010. 2010 finally is break-out year for Subaru with VEMS. Some successive projects rised up Subaru reputation on short trucks. No matter what pavement. TypeRA with modified well breathing, overbored engine feels really strong! Wide powerband, immediate throttle response. ALS in some setups. It is like day and night comparing to stock RA! VEMS solve reliability problems comparing to OE engine control. Melted pistons due to bad MAF or fuel delivery is very common. Each RA owner has spare MAF in the glove compartment… One of most interesting project of 2010 was 20VT with two sequential turbo setup. Thanks to two independent boost controllers it was pleasure to tune this engine. 450hp with K24 spool rpms! Smooth torque with no any interruptions or jerking! Nissan Skyline RB26DET For drift. Two Nissans with RB20DET. BMW M4. We called up so M3 E36 with S38 engine from M5 and big Holset from Scania. It gives so much power on 1bar! Way too much for RWD street car.. Completely new and different area – wood gas engine. Our first hit is Russian V12 38 liter (yes 38!) engine. Initially produced as diesel for tanks. CR 1:15 makes possible to convert it to spark ignition and wood gas. 12COPs, two DBW throttles: one as usual throttle, other one for mixture control. Throttles use own control unit what can be used for manual control over both throttles and automatic control using VEMS injector output for mixture and IAC PWM output for rpms. In 2010 two Audi 7a with over 250Hp It looks unreachable two years ago. Now best one is close to 300! As always - 20VT Nice one this year has some Dahlback parts, Cheap hybrid turbo, 970cc BOSCH. e85/ron98 blend 50/50. 2.4bar boost. Close to 550hp. Streetable. Opel Astra 20XEV VEMS as replacement for old-school KMS unit. From 2010 VEMS goes for circuit racing. First year when stand-alones allowed for most popular National class. Until now our fastest 3L n/a dragrace car based on BMW M50. Close to 400Hp with awesome torque curve. Anyone dreaming to achieve something similar. Upd. In 2010 we have no 3L class any more. In 4000cc class this machine usually takes second place :( Corrado 16VT. relatively low cost project. Bottom from 2E with stock pistons. It gives CR 8:1. Intake manifold cut from Audi S2 3B engine. Self made tubular exhaust manifold. Wasted spark, but fully sequential - camsync from modified stock dizzy. OEM 60-2 with Hall sender in rear crankshaft oil seal flange. t3/t4 gives to late power for street use. Migrate to smaller turbo. My first car really running on 1.1.54 Thanks for development team!!! Upd. GT28RS in 2010 :) Many Imprezas. Pre 2000 I use 24-1. 36-1 in future. Most popular models are RA from JDM BMW E36 M50 3L turbo. Street car. Upd: in 2011 planed to rebuilt for drift using sequential turbo setup! Toyota AE 86. GT25 bb turbo. Fully sequential on stock 24+1 VR sensors. Active COPs from VAG driven from stepper chip. For drift. Now runs on relatively low boost level about 1bar. Car is strongly lightened. Upd 2010. Rised boost. E85 blend for safety. Now on the way for bigger turbo. Upd: in 2011 engine swap planed. 2L + Borg&Warner. Nissan s13 with SR20DET Thanks to Rob for great assistance! Adapter harness. 24+1. Quite interesting engine for tuning. |
| Upd: now 2L. Itbs from bike. tuned trumpet length. Gives very close to 200hp on 276cams. wait for race cams. |

Upd 2009: now 2L. Itbs from bike. tuned trumpet length. Gives very close to 200hp on 276cams. wait for race cams.
Upd 2010: ITBs from BMW. Oversized valves. Seems exhaust is wrong. No power gain :( |
| Volvo 740 turbo. 8V engine with some improvements like big intercooler and bigger turbo. Needs better exhaust manifold. OE is restrictive. |

| 1.6L 8V VW crossflow. Successive ITBs project: wide powerband from 4500 up to 8500 and 100hp/l. Car is used in wide range of races and everywhere seems strong. Gravel, tarmac, mud. Wide powerband together with close ratio gearbox and good driver makes sense. |

| Upd end 2009: Champion in 1600 class in tight fight over all season guys was spectators favorites. Just one crew from over 1600 2wd class was faster. And no one from 4WD n/a class :) |

Upd: 2010 Champion in 1600 class driven by brother of 2009 champion. |
| Upd 2009 owner is very satisfied with results. Car have crispy throttle responce, huge torque from idle, classical torque curve. Drivable with pleasure. Consumption is around 10L/100 km normal main road cruising!! |

BMW e36 with M5 L6 engine Drift car. works perfect. 1.1.44
Upd: car was very reliable during all season. Car was even used for our national "race of champions" where drift was also included. It is first season when drift has championship status in Latvia. It is very popular here. Often 50-60 cars in start list. Spectators, fans, show. 1st Latvian champion in drift running on VEMS!!! |

Mitshubishi Galant with 4g63 turbo. Problems with DENSO 640cc injectors. Bad idle. Urgent W-gate creek problem. |
