This is why I put together a reliable fully bolted DE build to focus on a N/A VE monster and my other trick.


It isn't the daily and I feel like you are right... You now have me teetering on the edge of spending even more money on a big bore project. I am not really worried about the highway man I personally would love a tranny that tops out at 130 but gets there with street bike like acceleration. I have no real reason to do anything above 130 and would rather annihilate **** down low.

I will go really think about going big bore is Jamie helps me out. I know what I am doing in theory. I have taken apart SR20 Blocks in the past as well as a few Chevy 350's and they all ran fine afterwards. The part I need help with is making it all happen IE: telling me what parts I need to go big bore. Can I use regular aftermarket rods or do custom ones have to be made? Either way it looks like I may do it. I am not really concerned with money but what does one of these normally cost?

How do you know if you have a V2? Is mine a V2?

The version 2 RT is fairly new. I believe you have a v1 Joe, based on the map we have saved from your day here at the dyno.

Call up Calum and have him make one for you. Sell your v1!

If you have a v2 and you tuned my car with that and then i had a v1 would you be able to burn the file onto the v1 or would it still only work to 8kish with the v1?

I have to talk to Calum first before I answer that question. I don't want to step on any toes. Let's just say yes and no.

I need to stay out of this thread. All these big block NA builds can damage a mans train of thought.

hahaha i know exactly what you mean man. Just reading all the possibilities coming out for the VE now. 92mm crank, custom rods, 92mm 12.5:1 CP's, What does that equate to? A big 2.4 small 2.5, either way, fully worked VE head, intake mani, 4-1 header, mmmmmmmmmmm

All these aspects make you think well if i sell all this and do this but i just cant do it though. I refrain. Im a boost junkie at heart and always have been. hahaha
