Thread: 2023 VE build.

I meant like before the pistons and everything..
Thanx for the rpm refrence

Oh sorry dude!


No idea - it was a justa bog stock VZR before this. So i guess maybe 80-90kw on the same dyno?

is using 16ve cams I believe, not std 20ve ones.

After intending to respond, I've realised that it's not worth the effort.

For the record, I have always been on your side, always been complimentary, as well as always supportive.

Leave it there.

Best of luck with your build, whether the info be posted on this or any other forum, or relegated to obscurity and kept to yourself.

So heres some Aussie figure to stick it up you all

Just on 193whp...270nm torque.... Still more left in it on this tune.
Im still running factory snorkel, factory airbox and factory Throttle body.

This has proven what ive been saying for a long time -ported/cleaned up factory manifold, plus throttle is MORE than capable of providing big power. dyno sheets to follow in the next few mins.

Cheers

What is your definition of big power?

I have dynoed plenty VE's with the factory throttle bodies and airboxes that have made over 195hp.

One day when you actually try to make big power, you will see how restrictive your "cleaned up factory manifold" really is.

Your equivalent of 195whp is our 180-185HP.

I making close to 200 on 16cams, for an australian dyno, this is high. Most built Aussie 16cammed motors will put out 180max.

I think if i was to drop in a hybrid cam, a better air cleaner i would be pushing 210wheel HP here. Probably the equivalent of 215-220 your HP.

Many have made 200whp w 16 cams, I made almost 200whp w 16 cams, and 207whp with stock IM abd tbody. Its nothing that hasn't been done. But I do give you credit for coming and posting your stuff and sharing information. Dynos read differently and especially hard to compair over seas. But thank you for sharing, I only wish others would share aswell. Keep it up, it'd b nice to know what kind of traps you guys see with a given whp comapired to us..

Traps are definately the key, its a real indiction to HP.

If im game i might head out soon - but i dont want to risk cracking a VLSD bellhousing as they are near impossible to get here!!


Yes comparing oversease is a bit out of the ballpark. i guess the reason i am so happy is the fact that cars locally, built with N1 and the same setups as your 200+ guys really only struggle to make 135kw here. We are talking some guys with 184-c's and ITBS are struggling to push the enevlope of 138kw. Some may not care - but in comparsion to whats local, i know this is right up there.
