Thread: 88mm VE Build

I figured I would share some specs and figures on a build I am currently pursuing.

SR20VE
88mm bore (stock sleeves)
14:1 CP pistons
knife edged and balanced 4cw crank
Fully ported and flowed 20V head
Supertech S&R
Custom short runner IM (48mm stacks)
Q45 TB
Custom 4-1 short runner header (24" long)
Custom kelford 184X cams (12.88mm lift)
Coolingmist vacuum activated direct meth injection

Could have gone sleeved and bigger bore but I will leave that to my brother. I want a fully gutted track whore/street sweeper that can be done without having to sleeve a block.

As soon as the crank and block are back from getting balanced I will update with pics. Going to bring her down for the convention in NJ this year.

if going with the expense of boring to 88mm, why not just go to something larger? like 91 or 92mm?

wait, i'm guessing 88mm does not require new sleeves? ... that would be a good reason and a cost saver..

EDIT: wait, 14:1 compression pistons? holy crap!

A few things..

Oneis unless your going to run flat faced valves or have the chambers welded on your 20v head, how are you going to go about getting 14:1 cr. Id check with them before, because they can't go that high w a std chamber and valves. I like the sound of this build. Is e85 available where your at?

Oh and what's up with these cams? Are these the re-revised 184c

I have my machinists working/re welding the chamber.

The only hold up is supertech making the valves. Need a few more people to get a batch made. If not I will be going back to the standard head.

The cams were custom order, my brother has been working with and trying out some new things for kelford.

No E85 here. Race gas or pump/meth for this guy.

Ic, yeah cp won't be able to go any higher then 13-13.5:1 on a std head. But yeah if your going to run flat faced valves then that cr ratio shouldn't b hard to obtain even with out welding the chambers. Please show us some pics once those chambers are done!

No problem. Maybe within the next week or so.

Good luck with your build very cool. I thought about 88mm build to sometimes.

- I thought about a 88mm build as well to save on the sleeve cost. This sounds like a fun setup, but 92mm sounds much funner, so I went that route.

I wouldnt mess with the chambers, its a very finicky thing. Id stick with the highest compression the pistons will allow.

The rest looks good.

If ur spending all that money though why not get a sleeve. Also as far as valves its really not needed past a certain hp ammount, say the 300whp range. There are plenty of ves that have made 250-280whp on a basically stock head and valves.

What is the lift and duration of the cams.

Ill be watching this build.
