No but we where just talking about an electronically controlled CSRV system that would give it the same amount of control.

Hence why I asked which and why Matra posted that the CSRV system is much safer (due to it not being an interference engine).


To answer you question for poppet valves: the design that is going to be used uses springs to help return the valves so a failure in the solenoid is not that bad unless it got stuck open...

Then it would be bad.
