Thread: SR23VE build (92x86)

So, after running a bolted on sr20ve with standalone for a few years, one of the tb screws f'ed up combustion chamber 4 and popped a shim on one of the intake valves.







Engine went out and a sleeved block from Mazworx was ordered.



Turns out getting the head ported and machind her in Norway will be to expensive, so I will probably order a complete built head from them aswell.







Specs:

92mm bore
stock 4cw crank with girdle
ported head with oversized valves
184-C with BC springs/retaines
Xcessive plenum with Q45 TB
Fuji header (or custom)
Haltech E6X
12.5:1 pistons
E85 Fuel

Definitely looks good you wont be disappointed.

Car looks like it's gonna make some good power. Good to see some more 92x86 builds.

Will I see big gains in running more timing with E85 compared to pump gas? Or should I run more compression? In my head, more compression means bigger chance of headgasket sealing failure, but I don't know..

If you do everything right, the mazworx block and headgasket should not have any problems sealing even with really high compression. Cory's build is still doing very well. Just dont try to reuse the gasket at any point.

So get everything you want done as far as compression, head and valvetrain before you put it all together and you wont have anything to worry about. Get the mazworx headstuds to button the head down tight and again, no issues.

Bore > Stroke ! Dope build!

If you are set on running e85 then I would run more compression. I think with 12.5:1 gains be very minimal .. you should try pump vs e85 though to actually see....

I would definitely go higher comp if E85 is accessible and your main plan. The car should run hard though. Nice setup!

Thanks guys!

What rods are best suited for this setup? I want the moving parts/rotating assembly to be as light as possible without sacrificing strengt.

Manley rods are suppose to be slightly lighter, but if you come across a good deal on some eagle rods, they can be used as well. What all have you purchased so far?
