Ok ok.. So a small lobe S3/4ish profile, and a large lobe C5ish profile...for a custom grind VVL cam....

Is there any reason why this wouldn't work?

Yes. You can't afford it.

There is a thread where they are talking 650 Aussie dollars for custom VVL grind... From some company in Sydney...

300+ hp VVL 2.45L motor...

I could pull this motor and put it in a P11 in a few years after I grow tired of my SE-R

I'm roughly guessing $6k for the motor including VVL block/head - stroker kit, bigger pistons, cams, machine work on the block...

Why can't I afford that?


I think I got it...

- 6k is cheap for a N/A setup like that.

I'll refrain from saying if it would work or not since I don't really know, but FYI the C5 cams don't really work well unless you have a sr20DE with huge header primaries and a high redline. I have no idea how the profile would work on a bored/stroked VE and with whatever header you plan on.

So it seems to me that it is 100% related.


does adding a larger crank not do both? To me, it seems that it not only brings the piston further down for a lower "bottom dead center" but it also pushes the piston back up into the cylinder further making a smaller (more compressed) combustion chamber. Don't you agree?




b= cylinder bore (diameter)
s= piston stroke length
V_c = clearance volume

It looks to me like compression ratio has EVERYTHING to do with the crank size, connecting rod length and where the piston and connecting rod meet... and bore size too.. forgot to mention that again..

The larger the crank, the more piston stroke you have, the larger the bore.. yada yada..




Here's a little something I drew up with microsoft excel to illustrate how my buddy at work also explained how just the location of the connecting rod pin can change compression:


With the connecting rod connecting to the piston at a "lower" position on an otherwise similarly sized piston (2nd pic from left), it will push more "meat" of the piston into the combustion chamber with a similar sized connecting rod and crank, therefore increasing compression..

the one on the far right, shows how you can keep the same compression ratio, because there is the same amount "meat" above the connecting rod pin. This might allow for a stronger material and lighter weight for increased rev-a-bility.

BTW, connecting rod pin is the red "O".....


BTW I was drunk when I wrote this^

VE motor = $1000
2.3L bottom end at mazworx = $3,700
head gasket = $250
Header 4 into 1 = $1000
Short runner intake manifold = $700
N1 TB = $400
Franklin cams = $900
Valve springs and retainers = $375
370cc injs = $100
Nismo FPR $135
95-99 Max MAF = $100
Nistune ECU and tune = $500
G Spec Pully = $150
Aluminum flywheel = $350
Clutch = $350


Thats

$10,010 on a 2.3L VE Build

or

$11,610 on a 2.45L VE Builld
