Thread: VVL is awesome

Thats the same Exact thing i was saying too,I dont want to cut my NX front up everyone who turbos an NX i notice they get rid of the fog lights i dont want to do that. Il much rather Top mount I/C,Besides the B14 has alot of room for a front mount I/C.The only thing that i dont like about the VE is the torque 140ft I guess it wont be breaking no more gear boxes for me.

I made 155 ft tq with mine and I know Andreas is over 160 ft tq.

It is enough to break 3rd gear. Don't ask me how I know

Also it is enough to break the tires loose from a 1st gear roll. I as well as a few other I know have no traction at all in 1st and pretty much all of 2nd.

^^ very true

Or, go through GregV. Damn I wish I was ready for my engine swap so I could take Greg up on his sweet deal:

Quiet down Slurmban!

The VE has an advantage on these points. Dual Cam Profiles for Daily Driver comfort, Reliability over the turbo motor, Max NA Power potential.

However in my opinion you get more for your dollar spent from the DE and the DET. Just a stock VE swap will get you close or past the $2k mark. What you need for a stock ve swap. MOtor, JWT or Calum or Other Ecu, Exhaust pipe to mate manifold with cat, cam trigger. The setup I just described above is basically a stock VE swap. A factory new VE will only give you 187 HP crank. Thats 159 hp to the wheels with 15% drive train loss. I 'm just talking for myself but 2K is a lot of money to spend for just 159 HP.

A DE could out power a stock VE with less then 2K in mods. A Tiger Japanese DEt is going for 690 dollars right now. VE is a good motor no doubt but for small budgets I really do feel your money is better spent on the older technology.
