Hi Nathan,

No Vanos on the P65 40 and no
Vanos on the Judd HK LMP2 V8 engine
based on the S65 either.

http://www.engdev.com/products/hk-2011-lmp2-v8/

I believe rightly or wrongly that
BMW retained the Vanos on their
S54/P54 M3 engines as its removal
could have breached certain Regs
and not considered in the spirit
of it, and given the ALMS issues
BMW would not want to stamp on that
ground again to quickly.

It would explain development of an
expensive MS time/hour rated part that
very few would purchase.

Another moot point would have been
a potential backlash regarding
Warranty etc in that the manufacture runs
their ''Race'' engine with No Vanos.

Std CSL cams give very good results when
locked in on the S54 engine, not so much
top end rev happy, but very progressive in
the mid band, from around 3500-7000 ish..

Regards,

The Gorilla.
