SR20DETdatsun510 Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 No Hijack but I've been watching a thread on an SR20VET build since this guy in Australia started it last year. Damn amazing! S15 (Stage 2 SR23VET power) Mazworx SR23VET Allot of VE info and such. Makes me want to do a VET build on my 510... That would be the first here, even in the whole country.

SyCK Posted October 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 Nice job on the updates SyCK. I think you and I have the only ve powered Datsuns on this forum. Us ve guys need to stick together. :lol: Any plans on taking it to the track (drag/circuit)? Thanks, link me to some pics or a thread on your car right meow. I plan on taking it to the drag strip soon, the retune free'd up some decent power so I am curious as to what it can do. I would eventually like to take it on a road course but there's still a few things I need to do on the car before I take that adventure.

Though now I'm a bit undecided since the car is so fun to drive as it is. That and I think I'd go overboard, power wise, if I went down that road. I am of the school of if you're not breaking the tires loose at 60+ then you're doing it wrong... boost is such an addiction :frantics: Quote Link to comment
sedition88 Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 Love this car! I've thought about getting a VE myself and think you've sold it for me :lol: Quote Link to comment

SyCK Posted October 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 So these updates are a result of a domino effect. All I wanted to do was install the steering brace but I had to remove the header to get to it, so I figured since it was out might as well get it coated and add a bung for a wideband gauge. Then the rest just sort of steamrolled from there.... I had the car retuned for a MAP sensor and it runs sooo much better, picked up some HP too. It put down 220/hp and 164/tq on an unloaded dyno. Love it or hate it, it's all good A couple pics of the car - Inside - Prosport 80mm tach matching Greddy fuel gauge tripple gauge pod AEM UEGO wideband gauge orange LED bulbs to replace the stock speedo bulbs mounted a fire extinguisher because you never know... Engine bay - Header - welded two o2 sensor bungs, had it performance coated from Polydyn and replaced the stock gasket with an S15 7 layer gasket a new set of LS7 coil packs I had the injectors cleaned, flowed and balanced -8 AN lines and fittings from valve cover to the catch can I had the lower intake runners, velocity stacks and the catch can chromed I tapped the lower runners for vacuum lines and ran them to a vacuum distribution block --> to MAP sensor I had the valve cover and strut bar ends powdercoated a custom mix Transmission and LSD flushed and filled with Amsoil brakes and clutch bled and filled with ATE super blue racing fluid Quote Link to comment
Supra510 Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 Looks good, nice upgrades. Quote Link to comment
DAT510 Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 Didn't the VE only come in FWD cars? i can't really tell from the pics, but did you have to cut your firewall? Quote Link to comment
SyCK Posted October 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Looks good, nice upgrades. Thanks! Didn't the VE only come in FWD cars? i can't really tell from the pics, but did you have to cut your firewall? Yes it did, the VVL head is mated to a RWD SR20DE block and there was a recess welded in the firewall for the solenoids to fit. Quote Link to comment
Super X Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Where is your VE thread? (No hijack) Thanks, link me to some pics or a thread on your car right meow. Soon grasshoppers. :D I'm actually doing 2 setups; 1 for the 240z, which was a engine I built 5yrs ago for my old NX2000 (took everything apart from the fwd block and put it to a rwd block). The other is a big bore setup that will be for my 2dr 510. That should be finished by next spring. I'll start a thread at the top of the year for both builds once I get some momentum going. .... I had the car retuned for a MAP sensor and it runs sooo much better, picked up some HP too. It put down 220/hp and 164/tq on an unloaded dyno. Those are really strong/high numbers for your setup. Was this a Standard or SAE reading? Also, where was your peek power and what cams are you using? Time to take this baby to the drag strip and get some #'s :) Quote Link to comment

Time to take this baby to the drag strip and get some #'s :) Standard I believe and on an unloaded dyno, I neglected to grab the sheet when I picked the car up since I was too excited to go drive it. Power peaked and started to fall off around 7800 or so and it's on stock cams at the moment. Not much I can do about that with the flattop DE pistons, no way to run a decent cam without slamming the valves into the top of them :( Hitting the strip up probably in November :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
DAT510 Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 The car must sound amazing when you punch it. love that VVL / VVT sound Quote Link to comment
SR20DETdatsun510 Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Any Updates? Quote Link to comment
SyCK Posted November 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 Nah, I've driven it maybe twice since the last update and haven't really messed with it. I have a gopro here so I can make a vid driving it around but I've been a bit lazy lately :( Plus it's starting to get cold here and it kind of sucks in the cold, I sweat my ass off in it during the summer and it is a freezer in the cold. I guess it's just going to be a fall/spring car :hmm: I'm trying to set up a run with my buddies SC'd camaro and his roomates turbo'd vdubb so if that happens I'll get it on video and post it up.

SyCK Posted December 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 I borrowed my buddies gopro for a day since I've had a lot of request to hear the VVL / ITB combo. Hopefully I can get more footage soon since I was only able to get a couple of pulls in :-/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Waxlac41Q0w 6 Quote Link to comment

screamer510 Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 I really like the look of your car. Perfect color, rims, stance, seats, engine. Perfect. Quote Link to comment
sedition88 Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 Sounds and looks amazing! I'm pretty sold on the VVL for my 4 door as well Quote Link to comment
dennis Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 I think that thing sounds great. Would sound even better with a Burns Stainless muffler. Quote Link to comment
SyCK Posted December 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 I think that thing sounds great. Would sound even better with a Burns Stainless muffler. mmmmm I love me some burns. I've actually thought about picking one up but I can't decide if I want that bullet style muffler on the car, just seems out of place to me. ...and thanks guys :thumbup: it's a blast to drive.
