S-VCM Controller installation on 2007 Honda Odyssey (VCM Delete)

[@dfields9511]

See video description for after SVCM controller fuel and oil consumption after I did an oil change. Still going oil change have 30% oil life left. Once it is time for a oil change I will publish another video and update this text with my findings Oil usage: Fuel mpg:

2017 pilot done 3 wks ago, going strong. had a engine light on from other cause, but their after service is amazing, even though it wasn't caused by this device. I feel the V6 power.

@@hahockyang4440 yep and on my odyssey it had reduced oil consumption from 4qts. To 1-2qts per oil change

Nice work hope it is running better

[@dfields9511]

Yes it is and using less oil and more responsive. But its fuel mpg suffers 1-2 mpg less. Hopefully this will let the engine last longer It has 244k miles may get rid of as it gets closer to 300k as that’s its next major maintenance which requires a timing belt change, valve adjustment, water pump replacement, etc

[@Turningwrenches85]

@@dfields9511 that I can understand if you go that route

[@dfields9511]

Yep it’s like a $3k maintenance if you do it by the book. That’s the problem with Honda V6 is they have a timing belt not a chain and they have to be changed every 100k miles or when they break it destroys the engine due to the interference engine design

@@Turningwrenches85 also I have updaed the MPG usage for these post install. in the video description.

I didn’t know Honda was doing this system too. All the American manufactures use it in trucks. All have had problems because of it too.

[@dfields9511]

Yep all started with j35a7 engine. VCM1, VCM2 is the worst and most problematic VCM3 is more like VCM1 And VCM4 likely hasn’t been out long enough or not the same kind of problems yet. Even v6 accords and Acuras have this vcm system

I saw that on the GM I think there are some ways to delete / disable that AFM feature see www.onallcylinders.com/2017/11/30/how-to-delete-or-disable-active-fuel-management-afm-on-gm-engines/

Hey bud, you got an update on functionality now that you have been running it for awhile?

[@dfields9511]

Yah I was going to do a update vid when it got to the first oil change after. It hasn’t been long enough. Yet I have been updating the vid description with mpg decrease it by 1-2 mpg. But it has reduced oil consumption so far . Once I get to oil change I will know how much I have had to add between oil changes. So far it’s a little over 1 qrt. Where it use to be maybe 3 qrts. The car is more responsive and the vibration from engine in-balances when running in 3 cylinder mode is gone. The van has 245k miles btw
