Thread: Boosted Roller Rockers

I kinda dig the S4 idle (but the novelty is slowly wearing off unfortunately.............)

The problem with the VE; Tubular manifold and big A/R turbos, and those cost $$$$ ONTOP of what you are shelling out for a DE/cams/T3 turbo . Shoot, even the tubular manifolds for the DE are cheaper than a VE and you can still get away with running a proper (and in most cases cheaper) T3 turbo with good spool characteristics! I swear, a HX turbo, tubular used manifold, S3 cams (cheaper than S4s) and you are still in it for cheaper than a stock VE with N1 cams.........

I LOVE the VE game, but cars are money pits and budget (although I use the term loosely), smart builds are what the DE is all about plus the reliability to boot!

All this talk makes me think naughty thoughts.

im gonna laugh if the rr sucks even more vadim, but hopefully you get the desired results.

you can't laugh at Vadim, only I can!

Why would it be any different then a DE+T? Either way it will be about $2k cheaper sticking with the oem RR.

how is it cheaper i dont understand?

but ya im sure it'll do good, just busting your balls

RR siting in the garage = free (Not picky on manifold or turbo)

VE was $800
VET cams $500
VET Tubular manifold $400

So yeah little less then 2k but you get the picture

But you already have those parts, so not necessarily cheaper.

idk man.. I seem to have having a great time with mine. No vet cams, no vet mani and from what I can tell I make more power then you did with that stuff, granted I have a bigger turbo..

As for gas mileage, 29-30mpg mixed driving with some boosting I cant complain lol

your butt dyno is not like vadim's butt dyno.

leave him be, i'm pretty sure he will find out what he want/need. the disco will defiantly help!
