Errr... This technology is available (apart from the continuosly variable form) in many multiple intake geometry intake manifold
(such as Toyota ACIS for example) schemes in production cars.


yeah, i was more referring to the 'continuously variable' part. there's something that makes rather more sense about having a full range of motion rather than a few 'presets' to switch between. it's like the difference between a throttle position meter with the ability to tell the difference between 'WOT, POT, and absolutely nothing' and one that is just a potentiometer...

continuously variable is almost always going to be better and more flexible than 2 or three fixed options.

that's why i love the idea of desmo valves, 'cause that way you can have constantly variable valve timing. none of this vvti/vtec/mivec crap... true variable induction timing. mmmm...
