Well, apparently they are still in business and still do conversions, but yeah I don't think they ever caught on.

Very cool concept though. However I think there are problems with intake/exhaust valve duration at high speeds. I could see a wicked variable valve train setup with that valve system.

The MYTE engine seems more myth than fact. In every demo I've seen its only pumping air, and even then its being driven by a electric motor.

This valve train has been proven on engines already though, they say 30% increases in fuel economy which is a big jump, but not as large as the MYTE engine promises. Seems reasonable in a special scenario. However a 15% gain would be a huge number if if could provide that for all engines. I'd imagine that this type of valvetrain LOVES forced induction.
