Thread: SR20VE+T Turbo

I have a VEt for sale, check the turbo classifieds section

get that ^^^^^

I agree, get that setup and choose whatever accessories you would like to suit your goals. Honestly you won't have to worry about building the engine as it has already been done right and is ready to drop in.

Ahhh that is an awesome deal... if'n only I had that much disposable income right this very moment.

im planning a ve+t build should i do anything with the internals to run 10psi safely as a daily driver?

You can only use DE or shaved VE pans when using the VE block with girdle.

The DET pans will NOT work.

All DET's use the same pistons, even the gti-r.

The dish in the GTi-R pistons aren't deeper to lower the compression?

The difference in compression is due to the dish in the combustion chamber.

Short answer, yes.

The stock VE bottom end was designed to be run as a NA motor. Because of this:

• Pistons have 10.2:1 (I believe) pistons, this is very high compression for a forced induction set up.
• Rods were designed to be as light weight as possible and probably can't reliably handle much if turbo'd.
• Crankshaft was lightened to be a 4cw crank as opposed to the 8cw run in the DET's and DE's.
• Also as BenFenner mentioned, a DET girdle, main caps and bolts, and a crank scraper would be a good idea.
  

Edit: This is assuming you are only planning on using pump gas and don't plan on running some type of water/methanol injection. Not sure where you are at, but I can only get max 91 octane rating which would be too low alone to avoid detonation with VE pistons.
