I raced this car with a 2L VE NX2000 with N1 cams that makes 200 WHP and lost badly to the 2.2L VE that has 9 to 1 compression with 20V header.
The 2.2L VE was probably a 12.7-12.9 sec car at 9 to 1 compression withou the turbo.
I've built 3sGTE/5sGTE hybrids before. With ported head, big cams, and 2.2l it was very slow to even boost a GT35r with a .63. I guess it just depends on what you call sluggish, as it is based on individual perception. I no doubt know the VE would absolutely kill it in power delivery and output, but that's what has been holding me back on the GT35r swap over the GT30r.
The GT37 is a nice sized turbo. I am guessing the GT3788r, since the others are pointless. How big of a difference does .2L make as far as spool you think?
