I'm damn near $10k into mine, but I also bought new cp Pistons and manley rods, N1 cams, bnib p12 valve cover, and $2k in WPC treatment.

I regret not doing a wpc treatment on my engine parts ... yet again im in Canada and there is nothing close to me with that service

I'm fortunate that WPC is near me in Torrance. I go through a shop called MKS/Bluemoon for that service. Bluemoon has built many engines for formula D cars

I went way overboard, but just having them do bearings is very beneficial and quite cheap.

What did it cost you for bearings and Pistons? I've been on the fence about doing it on my next motor. Did you do rings as well? I need to throw my 9.0:1 VE pistons I got from you up for sale. I've changed my mind and want to go 10:1.

Geez it's not that much. On the last tuercked he was a c's garage they had a SR22VET making 600hp on 21psi I was suprised by this starting looking into it. A well will keep going with my jz swap just have to pick up the 1jz-gte

This goes without saying

The Canadian dollar isn't making things easy right now. I'm having to do bulk orders.

IMHO this is a silly decision. 9:1 and 10:1 really aren't that different on a turbo engine, I seriously wouldn't worry about it. Keep the pistons, you'll make the same power. I make the same kind of decisions all the time and always end up kicking myself in the butt because all I did was waste time I could have been driving the car.

In all honesty, I somewhat disagree with this. The high compression ALWAYS yields a much better power curve and increases the area under the curve. Outright power is a side benefit, but the biggest benefit is definitely area under the curve and all around better drivability (especially out of boost and boost transition phases). Is it worth the trouble?? 50/50 on this as if he has the means and cost is minimal, why not!

What I find silly however is people still building 8.5:1 and 8:0:1 compression engines. Tuning technology and fuel technology allow us to really approach the knock limit and still be within a safe region. I mean, the damn Honda boys have been running 9.5:1 and above compression engines for YEARS and once the tuning solutions were figured out, I see so many people running 10:1 compression on E85!!

My 9.5:1 SR20 with a T3/T04E 0.64 back end and 50 trimmed wheel had similar throttle response to my 8.5:1 SR20DET with a GT28R on there in addition to area under the curve. The T3 9.5:1 had much better out of boost throttle response and drivability.

[PoorMans180SX]

Have you seen back to back dynos of 9:1 vs. 10:1 compression on the same setup? I have, and I have driven the car with both setups on it. The difference is dang near negligible. Sure there is a bit more response with the 10:1, but a proper twin-scroll turbo setup makes 10x the difference vs. a point of compression. It's much easier and cheaper to turn the boost up 5 more psi than sell and buy another set of pistons. Like I said, just my two cents.

[RalliartRsX]

I see your point!

It may not be worty the extra headache in the end

[Imarvin240]

figured I'd give this thread a bump, since my car is finally ready to go to the dyno this week!

#1 Cut/modify/rotate the factory intake manifold. This will allow you to run stock TB.

any links to anyone that has ever done this? If I go the VVL route I might be up to the fabrication challenge. thx!

[wiring specialties]

Let us know if you have any questions regarding wiring, we have plenty of SR20 harnesses for multiple different cars

keeping my eyes open for a P11 head for my sr e30 with one of these intake manifolds.

I can't figure out where to buy that tubing he's using for his coolant swirl pot setup anywhere. The stuff that came with my greddy swirl pot ended up not being long enough to put it where I wanted, so I had to use black tubing. But I don't like not being able to see the fluid inside it to see if there's air or if it's working correctly.

try ridenow or any other motorcylce/jetski shop. my buddy carries line like this at his shop they use it for fuel and vacuum line

i just found this link hope this helps

hey guys, quick question.

What timing chain are you guys using, p11/p12? or sr20det? Do you need upper timing chain guide for p11/p12 head?

thanks

[Imarvin240]

Here's a video of my Touge Factory built time attack sr22ve-t 350z starting up at the end of Tuner Galleria in Chicago after it won best in show for it's debut. The car was only partially tuned for the show (ran out of time) and it's actually going back next week to get finished up.

PRL Motorsports makes everything needed for the VE swap a decent prices, i have dealt with their products in the past and i can tell you that they are very high quality. http://prlmotorsports.com/sr20.aspx


**and for some reason a few pages back Autotech was posting pics of PRL's intake manifold, and saying it was theirs, so idk whats up with that

[240SXK]

Hey guys im from connecticut and the other day i got my ve+t started for the first time ever, been building it since oct 2013, dyno soon because my rear main seal failed

[d k]

Hello

Is the neo head that worthwhile of a conversion?

I imagine its pretty expensive when all said and done.
Could you get that kind of power by spending the money elsewhere?

Still lots of buttoning up to do though.

Any chance you have a graph showing rpm's?

Have any of you guys been able to check if the vvl oil pump/front cover will work with the original det cylinder head? I've been wanting to do just a vvl pump, but my concern has always been that the top two bolts from the head to the cover are on the outside, whereas the det head/front cover they are inside the timing area. So idk if the vvl pump bolts would line up with the det head?

Here is a link to the online version of the article Super Street Magazine just did on my sr22ve-t race car, in this month's issue. Hope you guys enjoy!
