Thread: SR20 ve+t HELP!

This engine just not making the power it should

wish i was making that powah!!!!!!!!!

Bro that power is rubbish with my setup

Might help us posting your setup aswell

looks like a t2 turbo with stock cams? That is what you expect from a small turbo and low flowing head....

Posting up your set up should help us find the parts that need upgrades.

stock SR20ve head and block,stock VET metal gasket,stock DET pistons,GTiR turbo manifold,750cc side feed,gt2871r 743347 2 with .86 back end,tial 38 mm wastegate,2 and half inch from turbo meeting 3inch exhaust,haltech e6x,

the 2.5 DP is one restriction.....and ur sheet says pulls in 3rd gear? should be 4th gear...
tho's pop to mind first

Have you done the work required to port match the GTi-R exhaust manifold to the VE head?

What compression ratio have you ended up with using the DET pistons?

That is 15 psi? How is your intake setup? Your charge pipes, intercooler?

What were you AFR readings? What kind of timing were you running up top?

no i didn't match port the manifold my Cr is a bit over 9.0:1 the pipes are 2.5 inch to throttle body to cool and 2 inch from turbo outlet to cooler and timing wasn't too aggressive and yes 15psi

The GTi-R manifold does not line up with the VE head exhaust ports very well at all. The bolt holes for mounting need to be slotted a good 1/4" or more to line things up and you need to make sure to bolt it down snug without letting it fall.

AFR readings?

What type of intercooler?
