Thread: VE turbo checklist?

I am getting a turbo itch pretty bad. I have been into B13s for the better part of 12 years or so and I finally was able to swap a VE into my NX. I like the VVL and all but I want more power of course. What needs to be done to make the VE a turbo ready motor? I hear the piston rods would be to weak for turbo and I would have to do DE bottom end or new rods.

I am not looking to build a monster car but something that can handle 10psi.

I checked the manifest and how to section but nothing really there.

Stock ve is just as strong as stock de. Boost that shit.

these threads are getting old

stock ve can take what 95% of people on here will throw at them plain and simple nothing special needs to be done its the same as boosting a de

yes tuning it will be different to get the most out of it but the essentials are still the same as doing a de. take what you know for boosting a de and implement that onto a ve and you will be fine

the compression isnt something to be scared of, use it to your advantage for a very fun car
