I had about 2K miles on the plugs. car still runs just fine. Burns a lil oil, but it's been doing that when it's cold for a while now. I'll switch to a lighter oil and that should help.

I was out with the car last night getting some pics taken of her. And I broke a plug. 15psi run in 3rd gear and after the pull the car starts to miss. After stopping to eat and pulling cyl 2, it is...

Very solid point.

I don't like a lean misfire, but I idle around 16:1 and don't have any issues. I live at high elevation with extremes in temperature in both directions. Over 100* in the summer. Below 0 in the wint...

LAME





















Just kidding. Looks really good. You should have her up and running again in a couple days no?

OMG that is hilarious. His 1.6 GA motor puts out more than the SR16VE does. I need to go GA!

My motor is a 1.6L. Says it right there on the block. SR16VE lolz.

You'll nail it easy. Without a doubt.

I would say that 11.8 is about right. You get a nice margin of safety, without being too far on the edge. It will depend on your setup though. Generally the engine will knock at peak VE. So have it...

I made the best power on a 12.0-12.2 AFR on the VET. On 24psi I leaned out as far as 12.3 at it's peak. This wideband reads a little bit lean though from my experience. I had an LM1 in the car for ...

I thought about it. I had an AVCR in my old car and it worked great! But they are pricey and that is what keeps me from getting it. It has dropped in price a lot over the last year or so though. I ...

Choaderboy (mike kojima) says that he always uses a aluminum crank pulley on all his track cars and has never seen any wear or failures as of a result of using an aftermarket pulley.

Like andre posted, JWT got negative results when switching the exhaust cam. So perhaps the cam can be utilized to help spool the turbo, then shut off when it becomes a bottleneck? Not sure if the M...

I want to see dyno results when this is bolted on. Might be worth me venturing out into the intake mani fabrication on my engine as well.

I would say around 4200rpm. I have an exhaust leak pre-turbo so I normally don't hit full boost until 4800rpm.

It isn't a huge difference. The dyno will tell a better story than I can though. My...

I played with the exhaust cam switchover today. For the first time I actually tried switching over the exhaust and seeing if there was any gain by switching the exhaust cam on the VET cam setup. I ...

I figured I would post this here. I got a chance to play with the VET exhaust cam switchover. I started out by lowering the exhaust switchover and reading the vacuum/boost gauge. No surprise, there...

Locate GregV for parts in the Vendor section. He can get you a lot of factory parts, and upgrades. But the vendor section is full of stuff!

Dedicate a lot of time in research on this site. You may...

Well one big hurdle in the S chassis is the VVL solenoids. The placement of the solenoids puts them in the firewall. Also the distributor is a bit of an issue. Obviously, you cant use one. With a C...

^^^ exactly what he said. There is always the cost issue. And the VE head will require some more modification to fit in the S chassis. It will fit though. If you were going for over 600whp I would ...

Dude congrats! I can't wait to see what your VE does.

I was around 400whp when I went last. I ran 13.3 @ 114. 2.38 60'. I am not the best drag racer :p. But my mph sucked. I started at 16psi, and ended at 20psi. MPH didn't change at all. Hmmmm. I figu...

So 86mm must be good for how much power? I've heard of guys making 700+whp on stock sleeves. So 88mm should be fine? This is really pushing it. I am scared to run 86.5mm on a high hp boosted app.

^^^ Correct. The bolts are TTY. They cannot be reused because the bolts go into plastic stretch when you torque them down. They don't ever shrink back down. Always use new head bolts unless they ar...
