Thread: 12.5:1 SR22VE-T Complete, The Best Of Both Worlds!!

Havent been posting much lately as being swamped with work and family time.....and oh yeah....the progression of the new setup. Decided to change things up a bit to somewhat simplify things but yet make some impressive numbers with as less stress on the motor as I can to hopefully make it last a long time. Being back into a normal job back in the states has cut back on the funding. So I sold some other parts to get different ones. Anyways here is what ive been up to and a rundown of the setup.

Wheels are Racing Hart Cybers custom done in Matte Black lip w/ Bronze centers

Cooling system consits of Civic Dual core aluminum radiator w/ -16 fittings for upper hose
Mezier electric water pump w/ no Tstat
Flexalite 1250 cfm single fan

The car cosmetically isnt great but some cosmetics are CF trunk, custom evo 8 hood vent mouted into stock hood, soon to have a custom cooling plate/grille made out of 1/8" aluminum plate to fill the center and connect the two ends of the radiator support. Its still a work in progress but its up and running, just gotta put together a new Driver Side axle as my original popped out of the inner cv joint and damaged itself. I will say this motor is peppy as hell. Out of boost down low it just wants to go at any rpm. Behaves like a high comp big bore n/a thats for sure. But shortly after the boost starts to onset and it just wants to go even more.

Ill be dyno'ing it when everything is complete and break-in is complete. My goals for it are an easy 600-650 whp or so at very low boost levels. It shouldnt take much boost from this billet 6262 to get to those numbers. Stay tuned for results.

Going E85?

nice setup!!

Yes e85

That's corny.

Your plug wires are missing You should plug some in and have them run some odd place to see if people notice.

Ground them to the battery and say more grounds are always better.

Nice set-up, can't wait to see numbers. I always wanted to do this, but decided against VE. Was waiting for chapnutz to finish his...

What made you choose the RWD manifold?

I was going to go with that on my ve build, but decided it was too much work to get it fixed, plus it didn't seem very reliable. The tubing was small and brittle, which made it crack at the ports. I don't think I'll try an ebay manifold again. I think it was the same company that made your old intake (KS racing). Each port had cracking all the way around them. Actually I just threw it away a few months ago. The first indication was the copper nuts becoming discolored.

I have given up on ebay parts, as every time I use them, something happens. Usually just cheaper design.

My setup did last a few years, but I don't think I'll go back to ve. Great with power and all, but going back to the de roots.

The 1000cc injectors seem pretty small. I have some 1200cc injectors that worked great, and were made for e85 with teflon o-rings. Probably still too small for your build, but why 1000cc?

Good luck!

Your a brave man Mirrortints. Once I went VE I could never go back to a DE. Well if It were just to get from A to B I could use a DE.

I am also shocked that you are going back to the DE. Don't get me wrong a DE set up right like MarkSR20's car you will still have a lot of fun. I remember when I had my DE on boost it was a blast to drive. Of course it did not have the power that a lot of the turbo cars have now but, for its day the car ran well. It was a very basic T3T4 Log manifold 10:1 UK motor with S4 cams. The DE can take a ton of abuse and then some. My DE saw a lot of nitrous for many years and then I boosted that same motor. It made 363 whp which is baby power but, like I said for it's day it ran well.

Good luck with your new DE. I am anxious to see the amount of turbo cars at next years convention.

Nice ashton. I can't wait to see some numbers. I have a 6262 sitting and some other parts sitting right now. just need the pro-tech manifold to go with it.

copper nuts always discolor from heat, every one i've put on anything bein it na or turbo has done it.
