No - A common misconception, my friend!!!  Some of the crossover AUM cars (coming from the KO3'd ARZ) in early 2001 still had the KO3.  The initial change was the introduction of VVT. :wink:

Looking at the plate on it, by remapping it and being dissapointed, like he said mate its only the ones without the vvt on it, you can tell if its got that by if it doesnt have a valve counter on the right hand side under the rocker ;)
