Her is the place where this should be

I think here was a tread how to do that, but i think there is no need to
do that, i was thinking about it too, and at the and its better to spend your
money on a VE oil pump, pick up and pulley! Thats my opinion...

I'm getting those too

Given that my build is high compression I though it would be a good idea to have the pistons squirted to get better lubrication and temperature control.

Yeah i understand you, you wanna go safe
But believe me, its enough to get the VE pump, i personaly
wouldnt drill the block for the squirters...

Here you have a tread about it

People here have made on stock DE blocks over 400 HP even on stock DE oil pumps without any issues
So i think you dont have to worry about it.

Thanks for the advice, but as I'm using SR16 pistons, I want to have the best possible detonation control.

So you are going on about 11.8:1 CR wish you good luck!
What are your power goals?
Thats a lowport DE, isnt it?

Much higher than that, 13.5:1 (or something around that)

And it's actually a RR bottom

That will be a nice set up with a proper tuning

Just out of curiosity. Can the DE block be tapped on the deck to avoid having to run an external oil feed? Surely the DE block must have the same oil channel inside the block.

Rather than tap just get a 3 way fitting from oil filter housing ( where the oil pressure switch connects )

Yeah I'm aware of that method. Just asking if the tapping is possible on the deck.

If yes then you can essentially convert a DE block into a VE block completely.

Tap block deck for oil feed.
Machine for oil squirters
Machine Main bearing grooves


ps: How many people have successfully done the main bearing groove mod? Seems a bit risky if the machine shop gets it wrong.
