Anyone mixing sr20/16ve cams for turbo
Hello VVL experts!
I dont post here much as i only run rwd, but i could really use your expertise on this question. Y'all have the best experience when it comes to vvl so i thought i'd post it up here!
The question is already in the topic title.
Most of the time i see people either using 20ve or 16ve or 16ve n1 cams. But it's rare to hear someone using a mix of cams.
I'm in the process of a rwd setup with (on a budget mind you!) an sr16ve head. Now obviously the 16ve cams are already in there. I did buy a set of p11 20ve cams as well.
From what i understand, the 16ve cams suffer from torque down low and the 20ve has a weaker top end.
Could i say use the 20ve intake cam (higher low lobe lift) with a 16ve exhaust cam (highest lift on both lobes)? Has anyone tried this before?
Sure, i know the 20V p12 cams are the best, but those are quite rare these days...
Prob is of course i'm left with a 16ve in and a 20ve ex cam that will be sitting in the garage catching dust until i get a set of 20V's.
Turbo i have is a holset he351ve vgt turbo. So it can be anything between a gt25 to a gt40 if i just lock the position of the vanes. I do want to make full use of the vgt but its a darn heavy tub at 48lbs :o.
Otherwise i'll be using something like a gt3582.
Powerwise, low boost around 450 with a strong low end.
High boost 550 orso. Bottom end is forged with darton sleeves, sr20ve cp pistons, bc rods, stock balanced crank and fly. Running on 98 octane.
Hope to hear the roar of vvl wise men soon!
