Thread: VE+T or DET

The fact that the ring lands are physically much thinner. Not much to think about.

My RR DE has seen boost since they day it replaced my original SR20 in my
B14 , never a issue. well i lie , i replaced the starter , alternator and head temp sensor in 4 years of it being boosted.

i would at least put a girdle in. Buddy of mine boost his ve and threw the rods out

So what?

I ran boosted RR for years also. Who f'n cares. The fact is they have thinner ring lands and are weaker. Doesn't mean they can't be boosted and run.

outta curiosity how fast would it start to spool rpm wise, because i have the same idea of a gtir t28 ve-t but i have 20v cams which would wake the turbo up quicker, is my theory correct

1.So what , is... RR can hold low boost and be ok .

2. ok thinner rings , you boosted it ran fine right! it will work granted you dont run 20psi .

regardless , dont act the part of the internet tough guy and ruin this thread.

To be honest it's more bang for ur buck . Sell the det engine and still come out around 500 bucks if that out of pocket. Trying to think about gas mileage with a vet would be hard to do lol it's like having someone on ur shoulder tapping u say do it ... Floor it and once u do u just realized u wasted a half a tank and 30 minutes with a smile and a boner lol

To me the prius does more harm then good. Yeah it gets great gas mileage but it take more energy to recycle the car properly. People that think it's making a difference to buy one r retarded. I did a warranty claim on a civic hybrid for batteries .... 7000.00 and the repair was worth more then the car



Lmoa it would still be slower then a stock de

so if it can be boosted and run, it may be technically weaker, but strong enough?

a guy in KC has a boosted B14 with a RR motor and runs 18psi..

precisely my dear Holmes !

most of us in the sr20 game have boosted DE's and put them to the test and have held up till we push their boundries .

My friend that passed away Danilo RIP hit 500hp on a DE block on boost and spray and did a few pulls at that high HP, before the tranny gave up , i think it was around 502hp

Gio did the tuning on his car .

I don't want to spend any more cash then I already have. It's really comes to a point where you have to draw the line, or you sleep on the leather couch... errr p11 back seats .



Well that and the super awesomely strong rocker springs!



Exactly what I'm thinking, I love boost, but I want to use the least amount possible. I feel like it's the most reliable way to go for a DD.

This is why I have other mods that help power in small numbers but help overall, pulleys, flow stack, thermoblock spacers, now external gated wastegate.

I also invested in some traction bars, since going solid motor mounts and full suspension is out of question.



It's a lost cause... it still would get crappy gas mileage .



I'm tempted, I might when I'm tapping the block.



I would sell it, but I can't easily ship it. So it might be better off just laying around for parts for the VE eventually .

Keep in mind when I highway drive I don't really hit boost much. I usually drive with cruise control at 70-75mph. Also daily driving I don't go above 40mph. I got a short 4 mile trip, no space to really floor it. I need a slow daily and a weekend warier hidden




It all depends on timing, how good your gas is and how hot the day is. I personally ran the DET fairly lean when I had some issues without any problems. It's a tank. It's nice to have that kind of safety, but I guess it's not needed.



RIP indeed, those are some good numbers too
