Engine runs great, which isn't unusual for the 1uz-fe at under 200k miles.

1. Keep the 1uz-fe and get an adapter for the T-56.

They apparently handle higher mileage pretty well too.

Serious question, why would you delete VVT?

e: vvvvvv that makes sense. the only first hand experience I have with any form of VVT is first generation Honda VTEC, so I'm way out of the loop..

That is certainly a good option. Are those easy to read while on a track? In low light?

As I do more research into this, it seems like the OBD2 Wifi/bluetooth dongle might not be the delay in the system. OBD2 in general is just really slow compared to CAN bus. I can't seem to find actual published sample rates for these, but what I am seeing is around 18 samples per second for OBD2 and 100+ for CAN bus. I'm trying to see if such a low sample rate is fast enough for real time response on something like a tachometer. The PLX Kiwi 3 says it is "4 times faster than the closest competitor", but that means nothing when nobody publishes actual sample rates.

I have the original PLX Kiwi, which was also "faster than the closest competitor".

FWIW, Torque for Android's tach lags a little behind the tach in my cluster... which is also incredibly laggy for some reason (just GM things), I hit the rev limiter if I wind it out in first before the physical tach has even hit 6k. Rev limiter is 6750.

I have no idea how the original compares to the 3, though.
