Yes it seems a daunting task. Good read.
I am just as interested in VVTi for its capability to allow the car to idle smoother with a more agressive camshaft as well as the widening of the torque band. I know the benifit seems marginal but on the other hand I also know it's still worth the hassle. (listed in order of importance to me)
(1) I don't like having to use a higher idle RPM with agressive cams.
(2)I also dislike the lopey idle that comes with them and
(3)of course i'm looking for some additional width to the torque curve.
Concerning the water to air intercooler, I have already tested its limits and come to the conclusion that it would have to be replaced by an air to air exchanger or be fully upgraded to handle both the air flow and heat load that my intended configuration is going involve. Because I am the type that will go to extremes in order to maintain a factory lookng engine bay most likely the water to air configuration will be retained but with a custom intercooler, upgrade front exchanger and pump. So even if I'm non VVTi and retain the 3rd gen 3sgte there's still a possibility that I may have to customise the mounting points for the intercooler. Might as well try to get what I want while going through the hassle.
