Thread: 2.3L VE Motors Build For Cheap With Mazworx Headgasket

would their gasket work on an 87mm bore GTiR block? either that or the cosworth one i will go for if not

Thanks. If I do it, it will be turbo but with a little bit smaller turbo. I'll be happy with mid to high 400hp range, i'm not looking to be the top dog. Those motors seem to be the way to go. I'll contact you when I make up my mind.

Go with a GT30R with a .63 or .82 housing. Good for 500WHP. This turbo spools up very fast on a 2L motor so a 2.2L motor being 10% larger should take away any type of lag.

guess the biggest issue with this kindda build in mexico would be to find a guy who can sleeve the motor properly, and another guy that can put it together the right way.... seems that you guys in the USA have got sooooo much more options... here you could probably get a not so great sleeving work done for round 1000 dlls!

yeah what part of mexico are you in, again the machine shop charged 650 for the sleeving and the sleeves were 330. so yeah it comes out to not even 1000 total, The works was awesome, i will put up pics of the block and the real start to the build maybe tommorrow. The block came out nice. The head is great so just waiting on the smaller stuff to arrive.

i'm in tabasco ashton... the only shops here that could sleeve the engine work with truck engines... so i cannot really trust them that much!!!... im still yet to buy the ve engine and define exactly what kindda setup i want but i'll probably end up having it build on the USA, hope i can count on you guys!!!

hell yeah, we know how its done over here, haha, is that closer to the texas border or arizona/california border. i have no clue...haha

Pulsar Kevin going VVL????


Come to the dark side Kev... I am doing a 2.0VVL turbo build. I will be running a GT3071r with my set up.

Well, Mario has been telling me to do it for a while. I might give it a try and see the difference. From what I heard, it should be good. The pulsar has been good to me for almost ten years though but you have to try new things sometimes. If it can get me from hi 11's to low 11's, I think it's worth it.

Kevine, have you seen Greg's 4 door B13. I think he is at 509WHP at 22 PSI.

Go VET, if you are on boost it is the only way to go.

I will stay NA, I like the challenge of it all. I think staying NA is a thinking mans sport.
