Thread: 230hp VE, its so easy!

so i was on the net just looking up crap as i usually do and i came across this article on how to build a 230hp VE. i never knew it was just as easy as reading this article.

VE BUILD CLICK HERE!

for those who still love their DE's here is how to build a DE up to 300hp NA!

DE BUILD CLICK HERE

kinda of cool to read it until you realize its not as easy as the article makes it seem to make that much power.

so easy

Haha ok. Well yes 230hp is not hard with those mods. Puts you right about 210whp. Which is 230 at the crank. I like how they say run forged rods if u plan to run race gas lol. And you will need a calum and an safc

page taking forever to load..... can someone cut and past the shopping list plz

Here you go:


SR20VE ENGINE
The engine can be any JDM 97-2001 2.0 liter sr20ve in good working order that has run and operated correctly in your car.

SR20VE INTAKE
We will be using a sr16ve n1 intake manifold that has runners ported approximately 1/8 of an inch in diameter (the factory n1 manifold if not ported will make no power gains), sr16ve n1 70mm throttle body, custom made 3 inch diameter piping cold air intake w/ k&n filter, and a factory sr20ve mass air meter (good to 325whp if your interested to know)

SR20VE VALVE TRAIN
Brian Crower sr20ve dual valve spring and titanium retainer kit (which incidentally also used on Vtec H22 Honda engines)

SR20VE CAMSHAFTS
You will be using sr16ve n1 camshafts, they are much more radical, for example: the sr20ve stock intake cam high lobe is rated at 10.7mm of lift and 264 degrees of duration, the same measurements to the sr16ve n1 camshaft is 12.0mm of lift and 288 degrees of duration. So, when the high lobes kick in these babies are really going to scream. You will also need Tomei cam adjustable cam gears to make sure you have them degree'd in right on the dyno.

SR20VE HEAD GASKET
Cometic 87mm

SR20VE BOTTOM END INTERNALS
We will use CP 12.5:1 forged pistons and factory connecting rods (you can opt for forged sr20ve connecting rods if you ever intend to put it on race gas and spray nitrous.)
SR20VE BOLT ON'S

SR20 turbofreak header (that can be purchased at the site at the end of the article as well as all of the other parts necessary for this build), full Unorthodox pulley system, Fidanza aluminum flywheel, ACT street/ strip clutch, VRS 3 inch exhaust with your choice of free flowing muffler.

SR20VE IGNITION
Magnacore 8.5 mm ignition wires, new distributor cap, new ignition rotor, NGK BKR6E-N spark plugs

SR20VE FUEL
Factory 333cc injectors (which will be maxing out at 230 whp) Nismo fuel pressure regulator and fuel pressure gauge. Walboro 255lph fuel pump

SR20VE ENGINE MANAGEMENT
Jim Wolf Technology or Calumsult ECU programmed for a factory sr20ve engine tune. You will also need an Apexi SAFC 2 and an AEM or Innovative wide band air/ fuel gauge. It's also a good idea to pick up a Nissan Consult to check your injector duty cycle. If you have a 95' or newer sr20ve powered car you will need and obd2 to obd1 conversion harness.

650cc injectors and twin disc setup for 300hp is just way overkill...
thats like a dream list, wonder if he actually did it

Amen

230 whp is possible just requires time
and a lot of money!!!
