Do it right like wezz says, thats what I'd do if I had the cash.
190odd hp for £1500 is not bad at all.
VVL is arguably more reliable and easier/cheaper to maintain than turbo.
If you dont have mechanical skills at the moment, engine swaps are fairly straightforward but rebuilds are a slippery slope that can end up costing thousands.

well yeh you should get that with an SR16 head as long as its mapped right
you just need to take into consideration that your DE has done 113k miles and slapping a VE head on it and inevitably giving it some big licks could be risky depending on the history of the car
doing something like this shouldnt be done cheap really, thats why i rebuilt mine so its all lovely and fresh

Easy enough tap for oil, full how to on the sr20 sites!
You want to keep the torque from the 2litre trust me, alot better car to drive.
As the lads are saying easiest way is sr20ve but would be more expensive, i paid €1300 for sr20ve engine delivered.
@VVLwezz who done your tuning?? nice figures

How much did you spend on your conversion...? would ya sell it.....
:lol: lol
Americaaaaaa.
Ebay US, get one without a gearbox.

i could afford €1500 No problem... but that would be about it.. i like the fact of the SR20VE because i've never seen one over here before, over here it'd be like one off almera ..... i like
VVL head inc manifolds €500
Labour:
Changing head
Tapping for oil feed
Modifying exhaust to suit vvl mani €500 (max)
New Headgasket €100
Dastek mapped and fitted £375(Price from AI autosport in belfast)
Not too sure if dastek can control vvl tho so mayb a controller for that and bobs your uncle!
Can the dastek change speed limit?
What vvl points are you using?
Also is yours a complete sr20ve or just head?
Wezz used a 20VE block with 16VE head, hes had the best results so far on the mainland.
The lads in america say the sr16ve head flows 15% more the sr20ve, thats why he has good results.
Plus using 20VE pistons rather than ERGH DE ones
I'll text ya shortly
Ya im thinking of a rebuild next year maybe! 2.3 or high CR pistons near 13:1 or maybe both!!
I looked into ITB's before and just a dead end!
Crowd in america was on about it but didnt go anywhere, martin brauwer or somethinng like that!
Would love them!
what would 88mm give you? 2.1?
