Thread: 2023 VE build.

are gtir main bearings no longer available?

great build and very organized, what cams are you going to be using??

crazy build pal, its great that this stuff is still happening - subscribed

I believe that standard DET bearings also have multiple oil holes. The build is looking awesome.

the bludge in the sump is that not where the o2 sensor sits?

i bought the rest of them from motorsports about a year back :o

Very meticulous build.

What is your hp goal? Drag or circuit? Or dd n weekend warrior? If Drag what 1320 times are you looking to achieve?

What is your piston dia? Reason I asked is that you say 0.2 oversize which I assume is 0.2cm = 2mm. So bore would be 88mm, correct? That, with a 86mm stroke would make you a 2100cc motor (2092), I think.

Peace

A few little pics



Dayglo orange - Pics DO NOT do it justice - the fluro orange tint in UV light seriously makes this colour look different.






N14 oil filter system (easier for access and when i run a cooler

The stem cut down. ^^

The head of Win.

Totally reshimmed, new guides and total cleanup.




N1 size ports - but different texturing to help generate turbulance and help with some flow and atomisation.






Heres a badish pic of the exhaust - you will notice the exhaust guides have been cut out of the port. All that hangs down is the Valve stem - this will make a massive difference to flow out the exhaust as the VE does struggle in the exhaust!!






Pistons all in - head gasket and head dowels lined up!
We also managed to work out - out of deck cealrance is kinda high - i think my dreams of running 95 RON are over Id have to live in finalnd, or south of england to be able to run 95 without any hint of detonation. Kind of not happy im up above 13 CR - but ill deal with it.




SSAC headers and my custom intake manifold. I better See 200+ hp with 13.2:1 CR

Bit of a boring day -just spent the past 7 hours working straight!!

Cam cover colour - Dayglo Orange. Looks totally different in person!!






Few pics of it being final assembled.







AND Jun Flywheel.





I think thats it - not much more to see in this thread Maybe ill post some more when i get a dyno sheet and a bit of a tune at the end of the week! lets pray it runs:angel:
