VMax kit
Turbo Mini Forums

Has anyone built the Vmax kit I noticed that They sell the manifolds in part forms to weld together. I just wondered if anyone has done it?

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.
VEMS + 12 PSI + Liquid Intercooler = Small Bore FUN!

i know this, decompression plates are not the way to go IMO

better to get more cc in the chambers or change the pistons if the budget allows

no one on TMs likes decompression plates

cant speak about the rest of the kit
but stuart at VMax is a good guy

I can understand why people frown about using a decompression plate but i'd like to try it myself as a budget charger setup, sounds a reasonable option to me.
For out and out power where the head gasket is one of the major weak points, then running 2 of them is asking for trouble.

I have the CR sorted with a 295, I wondered if anyone had tried to put the manifolds together??

DO you need to coat them after they are welded or is that for Turbos only?

Theres no need to coat them, its only the 2 inlet manifolds.

You dont have to run the decompression plate i believe

its only offered as an option for a budget kit if you dont want a head with it

I think the decomp plate is for if you have flat top or small dish pistons and can't get the head volume
