    Hey all, you have to read the thread regarding the VVT red bullet!! This thing is the real deal to real performance WITHOUT sacrificing gas mileage performanc!! Top it with the Injen intake and you get even more performance!! No kidding!! Read the thread!! I am going to save my money and get both. The Red bullet is a simple install, doesn't change the ability to pass smog or create any more emissions! It just helps your car Kick butt!! It fits most Prius C's and Prius III models. This is the real deal guys! If you wanted your Prius to have some more kick, this is it. Go to the thread, read it thoroughly and try to contain your excitement..............you have been warned! Our friend from Mississippi installed it and improved his racing time while gaining 4 more miles per gallon!!

    If this doesn't work, I don't know how to help you. If it does, start reading the thread from the beginning so you understand how the red bullet works and how easy it is to install. On the Gen III, I have attached photos where the solenoid is located.

    The claim made for this product has consistently been:

    • (a) it makes valve timing changes happen faster than with the stock valve, and
    • (b) because of (a), happy things with performance and drivability ensue.

    Last Wednesday, mr_guy_mann put up the first (known to me) direct test of whether (a) happens. The test was done by scoping the crankshaft and camshaft sensors, which had already been identified two years earlier as the way it would have to be done. Data from OBD-II would not suit the purpose because of the delays in polling OBD-II and getting replies.

    The work does have (for now) one methodological weakness, small sample size; it was well designed in taking multiple runs with each type of valve, but having purchased only one sample of each type, it cannot (by itself) rule out whether the single sample of any of the valve types was a dud. But it is a very good start on getting some basic information about this product that has been overdue for a couple years now.
