Call ARP then and find out what they can do for you. I talked to them and they said the new studs were different.

Well I got a set coming and I can take pics when they get here. But honestly I ran the old ones without any problem whatsoever with the stock 20v metal hg. But this time I have to run a cometic bec...

Well, the tranny won't last. But keep us all posted on your build. VE-T powah!

I thought it was funny. Tom, you jokester you!

I thought that the redesigned fins on the newer water pumps had improved efficiency for high rpm. I thought only the older classics had that problem. meh.

sometimes the spacers can be a little ...

check the rings for sure, you don't want them to be all rusty. Might as well take them out and inspect them. they are chrome-faced rings factory so they could have rusted.

the coolant choice wont matter. as long as it is ethylene glycol or propylene glycol based. But make sure you have it mixed properly. worst case scenario, take the t-stat out and drive it. see if i...

Whats your secret? Just a quick ? How do you make good power with the VE cams? Any cams for that matter? I get really bad reversion in my engine when the cams switch. Do I just need a bigger turbo?

What about other chassis? anyone know if the b14 GXE sentra knuckles fit a b14 ser?
if so that would save me a lot of time.

The VE engine has a mechanical cold start mechanism on the throttle body. I wonder if this would work perfectly on a VE.

Reminds me of my first SR. I had a red 96 SE-R. I loved that car. Shouldn't have sold it.

haha. Let me know how that goes. That was not good. I too want to dummy the computer so I can take out the CEL.

I talked to ARP and they said that the old style headstuds were replaced by new ones. SAME PART #. The new studs cost about $180-200 compared to the older ones being about $150. The guy at ARP said...

Factory crank should be close to indestructible.

Now I am confused. I though stillen had cosworth studs that bottomed out? Is there really nothing around that will work? I am putting my engine together soon, and I may have to use a cometic gasket...

That is amazing. Just disgusting to look at. I wish I had more money haha.

I got about 29mpg-32mpg around town. stock trans. after the sr16 trans I got 27.

I am shooting for 400+whp on pump 91. VE-T. stock sr20ve cams. cam gears. protech log mani. gt3076r. 3" exhaust. 8.5:1 compression ratio. Underdrive crank pulley. JWT engine mgt.

VE oil pump.

been using the extended performance 5w30 in the wife's car. I do about 10k miles between changes. car has 120k miles. no sludge. perfect compression. really good for a ga16 motor. most I see are al...

lol

I have had issues with my big turbo and maf fluctuations on my setup. I have a 4" intake pipe and when the engine blows off, the maf readings go all over the place which tells me that there seems t...

Interesting topic. I have been running mobil 1 in all my cars. My DE had 85k miles and looked brand new everywhere. Not even a tinge of orange or yellow. New. The bearings showed no wear. at all. b...

It is not practical to use synthetic when breaking in an engine because of metal particles from the break in period necessitating that you change the oil at 1000 miles. Sometimes even less. It is p...

The stock cams have too much overlap by themselves. the stock 20VE cams have 20* more overlap than even the integra type R cams. This is good for scavenging, but only works on really big, freeflowi...
