Thread: VE-T Project Under Way :)

The block is tapped and barbed. Pics up in a minute.

Freshly Tapped...


From inside the block


Barbed and ready to go! I used teflon on 3/4 of the threads closest to the barb and a bit of silicone on all the threads.

This will be interesting to see what kind of power he makes with the stock 10:1 CR.

Anything over 300 is good usable power.

Anyone have a link on how to clock a T28? I think this one is pointing back towards the manifold. Also, does anyone know where I could find an inlet pipe for the turbo?

should be good on the 10:1

stock is 10.3:1

Sorr I haven't had any updates recently. I got the pans back on last night and I'm gonna throw some oil in it. Im also tossing the Fuji back one for the weekend so I can go get my windshield replaced. A friend of a friend is doing it for $160 installed . But after that, header comes back off and then on with the turbo. I just got a quote from just-intercoolers for my IC piping. $205 shipped for everything. Here is what I was quoted for:

Piping
2x 2.25" straight
1x 2.25" 90*
1x 2.5" straight
2x 2.5" 45*
1x 2.5" 90*

Couplers
1x 2" 90*
1x 2.25 straight
2x 2.25" 90*
1x 2.25 -> 2" straight reducer
1x 2.5 -> 2" straight reducer
1x 2.5 90*
1x 2.5" straight
2x 3 -> 2.5" straight reducer
1x 2.75 -> 2.5" straight reducer

T-Clamps
11x 2.25"
8x 2.5"
3x 3"

The routing will be basically the same as the GTIR kits on ebay. But, that kit is not complete and I prefer being able to customize the size of pipe etc. With the GTIR kit, I would need a few more couplers and clamps which would probably bring the price up pretty close to the same.

EDIT
Oh and one more question. Any suggestions on cam gears? I heard they help a lot with VE-T setups since there's a lot of overlap with the 20ve cams.

^That's what I was thinking. I saw Miko post this in a thread yesterday or Monday I believe.



^Where did you hear that at? I hear that running the 20ve or 20v cams straight up is the way to go on a turbo car. I didn't hear any mentioning of running any cam gears, but I don't see why they would hurt. The guys I heard this from have rep on both forums. I can dig up the thread if need be.

I thought cam gears were needed for 16ve or n1's?

Hmm, I must have gotten my info crossed or something then. Thanks for straightening that out .
