I have some ACL bearings In my VET and after only 100 miles the bearings look... different. I tore my engine down expecting a spun bearing because of a noise issue which turned out to be the clutch...
I put some ultras in the wife's car. I love them. LOVE them. I had to aim the headlights down because I was getting flashed all the time, and they are even brighter now. Polished the headlights and...
Hmmm, the wonderful debate. I think the DE head is just fine. Sure you won't make really huge power, but it is easily had. VE turbos have given a lot of us a hard time as there is no real forumula ...
Using a jwt computer. 8.5:1 comp. shootin for 22psi on pump gas. I think I will try the .63 with less overlap first, but all the honda guys love the big housings and only see like 3-400rpm slower s...
There is no reason for me to believe that the studs are a source of issues, because I have run them in my car for the last year and a half and never had any signs of leakage. I have had a few runs ...
Let me know, but make it quick. I am building another bottom end right now and it is easiest to change the housing when the engine is out. I took the head off today and everything looks beautiful. ...
Will do. On the next build I think I am going to put the intake at 2.5 degrees - and advancing the exhaust cam about 5 or 7.5. That will take out about 7.5-10 degrees of overlap and maybe that is a...
I think I can get a stong midrange with this turbo as it is not a drag racer size. I feel a strong powerband will start at 4k and end at 7k or so. I was thinking of having the power level off at 7k...
The pauter rods will be inspected before being used in another engine. I had them inspected by the machine shop as I ran the engine dry and cooked the rods. The rods were said to be straight and go...
The VE is revving to a safe limit of 7500rpm. I could go higher, but it would need springs or the sr16 cams. I want to see about making the best use of the stock cams. The cam switch didn't make an...
I have a feeling the gt3076r is too small for the ve to flow what it was meant to for a turbo app. Bigger turbo=exponentially better results. a gt35r m...
The pistons are JE, huge valve reliefs. but I am running sr20ve cams, not sr16ve cams. I have a lot of room to play with cam timing before I even come close to touching valves.
Buying a new mani is prolly out. The log design flows good and is dead reliable. The JE pistons are a great set, but I havn't seen an 8.0:1 compression. The ones I have in there now have huge valve...
After talking with some honda guys, their secret is equal length manifolds with long runners and a big housing. This is good for top end power production, but they say their cars are laggy until th...
where do you even find the exedy clutches for our cars. I have a friend with a 600whp civic with a six puck exedy. Stiff pedal, but pretty smooth overall.
