Thread: Lynch's 6spd / VE-T thread

Remember dude I have a set of DET rods and pistons collecting dust. Their yours if you want them.

lynch, I can get you an eagle rod sr20VE CP piston combo for around $800 shipped, thats unless his costs went up.

Hit up this seller, He might even be able to do better than 800 shipped. Just tell him you need the VE pistons 9:1 compression and tell him Ashton (roche0823@hotmail.com) sent you to him.
CP Pistons Eagle Rods Combo for Nissan SR20 Silvia | eBay

Det pistons and rods and you have a similar setup to gio's that is pushing 400hp+

I prefer to peace of mind of overbuilding..........Especially when a complete set of forged internals are only $100+ more than the stock stuff

Reliability > nut swinging contest for stock stuff ...........Unless you have the deep pockets , tuning knowledge and wanna pave the way

i under build cause i like to blow stuff up!

I think we'll be able to work something out

This is an extremely budgeted build, hence the VET pistons, they are less then half the price of CP pistons. As for rods, i was thinkin of just using some det ones or even the stock ones, remember im not looking for crazy power, an most of the time will be on fairly low boost.. but next time i see that GTR i want to be able to flick a switch that with change my maps which will up my boost and maybe, just maybe be able to stay with him a little longer

I just want to stop worrying about melting my engine, everytime im on boost it runs through my head DONT MELT DONT MELT! My next build, which will be in the distant future (if this one works out) and i will take my time an do a CP piston / pauter rod combo with all the rest of the goodies.

but for now i want something im not so scared to turn the boost up lol.


I'm also planning on taking advantage of the nemu's boost by gear when its available, that should help take it easy on the trans, which is something else that will be upgraded with the fully built engine.

Get NEMU, get it pro tuned, period.

Stock VE can take a lot, look at Jamie's post in this thread: http://www.sr20-forum.com/turbo/61720-ve-t-people-what-pistons.html

I agree with Vadim %1000. Outsource a tuner if need be, that is where you should spend the money.

I think he has to put it on the dyno and tune and then run in the first place.

We are building an engine out of fiction from one that hasn't even been tested in the lab or on the track.
