Thread: Who's going for big power with the VE this year?

I agree all supporting mods need to be in sync with the head, also actual velocity is a high concern for all motor setups.High peak CFMs are nice but then you would like to have the flow progress nicely through all lift ranges...on a turbo motor it is a lil diff since you are forcing air through the head so less resistance is much better but to a point. For my build I know it will be sluggish in the low rpms but once I start spooling it will be freaky.


A good head porter would ask what kind of cams you are using, compression, ex manifold/intake design, what kind of racing...so on and so forth...

Sheesh now you told me about the t4 divided I am going to look into it.I have a divided
BB T04z with my present setup...

Sounds like its going to be a good year. I would personally like to see more worked n/a VEs out there and if I find what im looking for I will def have one.

Did no one else see this post, i know its at the engine but thats still like 255 whp when you allow for 20 percent drivetrain loss. and thats without a turbo!
that is awesome.

A well built ve block,Mazworx 1/2" studs & 90mm HG,GT42,Protech EQ,O2 induction IM with 90mm TB,All out ve head....2.0bar or go home......

good ish...I would like to know more abou the all motor setup doing 317hp on the engine dyno.

Kleensleeper, noice build, what are your numbers with the head? I have mine done but will need more work since I am not satisfied with the results yet.

I think Mark mentioned he has done 5 'built' VE blocks. So some people other than daxx and Matt are holding out on info.

Yeah the na 317 is good but you know how the rest of story goes got to show the proof. With a turbo the hp # will never end

Not possible with a 2.1L VE NA sorry bro.

we need some diesel engines in our 2500lb cars

Kesi,

throw $10-20 K on a 2.1L VE, lots of time, lots of work, lots of experience and maybe 1-2 MAJOR changes and anything is possible.
