well if u guys read some of my posts i really dont care about having a manual tranny. but if i wanted to throw a turbo on a ve with an automatic will it hold up. im not looking for a crap load of power just the excitment of a project. and do u have to lower the compression on the ve to turbo it?

I have done a DE-T on a 99 P11 and it was an AT. It had S3 cams, a gt2871 and held 15psi and even a few 20psi boost spikes and never skipped a beat. 15 psi all the time seemed ok. probobly high 200's maybe 300whp.
what would be considered "safe boost" on a stock compression VE...
I guess it would depends on alot of things, The problem isn't so much the compression but the super weak bottom end, My opinion is that with proper tuning you will run into problems with the weak bottom end before you run into compression issues.
how is the bottom end weak? is has the same as a sr20de.
The pistons are pathetic and the rods are thinner. Have you ever seen the ve bottom end? There should atleast be pics of the piston on the forum some place.

The VE rods are the same thickness from the wrist pin to the big end. They are about half the size of a DET rod. Think Factory Honda B series bottom end
