VE/DE question
First off i like to say sorry, usually i would search the board to death but i have the chance of some VE pistons and i have to say yes or no very quickly

I'm thnking on using 16VE pistions into a DE (using de head with JWT S3 cams), and wondering if anyony knows what the compression will be I know the DE starts at 10.5.1,
Also is there any machining required for valve clearance

I'm hoping the VE pistons would take teh DE up to maybe 12 at most not really wanting much above that due to fuel octain here etc.

Once again sorry for asking and not searching

if you would have searched there is a sticky thread on this in the all motor section, but i believe the 16ve pistons come out to higher compression than the n1's do and i believe its around 13.7:1 or something high like that.

this took me all of 2 seconds to fine searching sr16ve piston compression, bam

13.5:1 with those, these can be tuned on pump gas if you have someone that knows what they are doing. A couple people have done it with great results.

I did find that thread but everything i found says that 13.5.1 is with a VE head not a DE

-.7 off of it, so around 12.8:1, the compression difference is .7 for the most part.

just like a ve head on a 9.5:1 motor will come out to about 10.2-3:1

Hope that helps out.
