Thread: Happynole's VE build

I am looking forward!

are you talking about the 1/4 mile or on a circuit? do you mean the 16ve tranny sucks on the 1/4?

It doesn't suck, the gear spacing between 3 and 4 is just less then ideal, there is a big gap in mph...

^Exactly. If you watch an in car video of a car with an SR16 trans, you can hear the difference in the gaps from 1-3 and the gap of 3-4. Ok back on topic boys. If we need to discuss this we can start another thread. Sorry Joe!

Header testing is out now, complications with the machine shop is putting Jamie behind schedule. And he has numerous builds to finish before the convention. We are just going to go with the 4-1. Hoping for an April road trip

Yeah I spoke to the machine shop today. I wanted to see if I could get some porting done and he said he is slammed with work. He said I might get lucky to just have my head milled and cleaned. Regardless, we'll have some fun!

LMK when you're heading up, i'm down for a ve powered roadtrip to ct

i hope that guy finishes my shit this week or imma flip. He told me a week a week ago. My stuffs been there for two months.

Im going up to jamies the 24.

my set up: sr16ve tranny, sr20ve with 195whp, n15 hatch, 22" slicks

now, i finish the 1320 @ 99mph in 4th and not in the best part of my power band (about 6700rpm)

i am going to try 23" and rev to 9000rpm and see. maybe i will finish at at about 8900pm in 3rd. still not ideal because i would be way past my peak power

other alternative is se-r tranny and a 4.7 and hope to finish in higher rpm in 4th

but for the road, the sr26 tranny does feel good

peace

Well thats cause u only make 205. If u made more power and higher up in the rpm the 16ve would be the same.
