Thread: vvl engine

well jp's car is a standard ve was making 450whp with 20ve cams and now withe the 16ve cams its probably making closer to 500whp

if that doesnt make a believer out of you i dont know what will

I could have sworn the rods on the DE were thicker.

My VE rods were exactly the same as my DE rods.

I may have mixed them up with the 1.6 rods.

whoah did mr rican post some bad info, haha j/k man but yeah the 2.0 ve rods are the same, the 1.6 rods are the thinner ones.

Yeah the sr20 is a stout motor, keep detonation away and your good to go, when you get way up there in power it gets harder and harder to keep it away. Jp uses water/meth injection on his which is by far the best way to get rid of heat and get rid of it quickly. He is running pump gas and water/meth and has no problems hitting 500+whp on a stock sr20 motor. Go search through his old threads to find out.

The only real weaker point on the ve's is that they dont have a girdle on the main caps and the pistons have slightly thinner ring lands which only equates to if you do get detonation there is more of a chance of cracking them. But if tuned correctly on the proper setup you shouldnt have any detonation at all cuz at those levels even a little can be a disaster.

Shows you that even perfection make mistakes at times

lol good one cuz its soo true, but man you of all people hahaha

Do you need some help finding the search button? hahahahaha just playin
