Andreas also had a big bore de that made pretty good power, I forgot how much though. You should be able to find more info on these on the old forum.
i have a question, lets say you have a VE motor, with the "high lobe" cam of xxx lift and yyy duration.
Now take a DE lowport with the same size cam, all other things being equal, won't they make the same power after the point where VVL kicks in on the
VE?
Or is there something else on the VE that's giving it a significant power advantage? the oil squirters allow to keep the motor cooler, and thats a slight advantage, and I've read that the exhaust ports are larger, which is also an advantage.
All things being equal, what is the "after VVL kick-in" power difference??
I know the low end torque will be greater on a VVL motor with the smaller cam at low RPM.. so that's not what Im asking about.
