Why would you want to use a de bottom? More Torque? U will have to do some mods to make oil port/lines work.
Well the 16ve/20ve conversion was pretty straightforward. Its even easier if you are using the whole head as opposed to taking out cams from 16 to put into 20. The most technical thing was the change of cams, IMO. The issue is the mgt. U can use a piggyback or Programmed ecu. Otherwise there is nothing to it anyways.
Thanks for the info mate. I think I remember reading somewhere that the DE bottom was stronger and only requires tapped for F & R to the solenoids for cam activation. I have a spare DE in my old N15 GTI & I thought it might be easier to fit the VE head onto the DE. But if it's easier to swap the DE crank & throw in some rods & new pistons etc to the VE then thats the way I'll go.
But would the oil ports match up? How do you deal with that?
Yes it's 2.5" SSAC
The newer SSAC headers fit without any porting, especially since mine has larger primaries than say a 2.25". I fit the ve gasket on it and there is nothing to port. Some ssac will need porting.
car already have 5Zigen 2.36" (60mm) catback exhaust that came with it from Japan. The previous owner said it is 2.5" but my rough measurement told me its 60mm and the Japanese tend to use metric rather than inches. 2.5" downpipe going into a 2.36" exhaust shouldn't be a real issue tho.
My JWT pop charger is in Miami and should be with me in 1 week's time. However I wont install header, JWT filter and motor mounts until my clutch is here. Still hasn't left Fidanza factory, even after paying for it for over 2 weeks now!
Can anyone tell me performance clutches for sr20 are so scarce? It's a pain in the a$$ to get easy access to these parts. This is what the Honda fellows have over us - easier access to parts...
