IS there anything out there for the VE engine aftermarket (besides the spacers)the vg guys are lucky to have a nissan gloria setup.Has any one done engine rebuild proformance driven on the ve.

 

ummm us VG guys still have to fabricate....NOTHING just drops in.

 

If you are looking for a bolt on turbo then no, like DanNY said fabrication is part of the game. Look through the stickies and do some searches and you will find most, if not all, of the answers you are looking for.

 

just like the mustang's and camaro's the never ending battle. The ve and vg still battles on.
pros.
-ve @ dohc 190hp/190ft tq engine
-ve @ silky smooth accel.
-ve @ lsd tranny both manual/auto
-ve @ Stronger cv axles

cons.
-ve @ noisy vtc
-ve @ manual tranny input bearings
-ve @ rare engine
-ve @ discontinued oil filter

pros
-vg @ simple design mechanic friendly
-vg @ strong V6 engine industructible
-vg @ dime a dozen similar to turbo 300z engine as far as upgrades
-vg @ sohc 160hp/182ft tq engine very underated

cons.
-vg @ sorry fuel injectors
-vg @ sorry auto/manual tranny
-vg @ sorry intake plentium cant upgrade throttle body hard to run piping to and from

but in the end you still have a maxima the real 4dsc

 

nonono, it's 160HP@5200RPM and 182lb/ft@2800RPM. That torque figure is why it's got such a strong low end, because that translates to 97HP@2800RPM... so getting 60% of your horsepower before the halfway mark in your tachometer isn't too bad at all. The problem is that the torque drops to 162lb/ft@5200 where you peak your HP and that's why a VE will toast you in the high end. You can analyze the dyno chart my car will make (comparing it to the VE one posted here: http://www.nissanworks.com/images/Ph...acers-Dyno.gif) during the before/after dyno runs for the VG Phenolic Spacer tests, once Aaron finishes the prototype.

 

ill edit thanks

 

I'm working on putting a 2nd gen Maxima manifold on, which I think has more flow potential than the 3rd gen manifold. At the moment I have the wrong lower manifold (my injectors/rail won't fit it) so I think I have the later style injector manifold... but am still finding out.

 

Mtcookson were is your turbo located!

 

It was directly to the left side of the engine (driver's side) using a custom crossover pipe however I'm changing it all around now for something that should flow even better.

 

LOL i'm redoing the pipes too

 

Im almost 100% sure that the input shaft bearings are the same for both because the gearsets are the same and besides the extra room for the VLSD the cases are identical.

And as for the axles, yes VE axles are bigger, but thats just the shafts, the joints are identical. which is usually what goes anyways. Im now putting 350whp plus through VG/VE hybrid axles.

 

This is a very informative post!!! :-) Nice
