Thread: VE engine vs VE headswap Poll

Mods I dont know what section this thread should go in so if you want to move it to the appropriate section that would be cool

So I have the option of going VE finally. The only thing is I dont know which route to take. I DO NOT want to go turbo. At first I was going to go with a VE headswap on a stock 98 USDM SR20DE block because I wanted to retain my WP PS and Crank underdrive pullies. But now that I eliminated the mechanical WP and PS system I dunno what to do. What are the pros and cons and what are the estimated price tag on the 3 options? What would YOU do and why?

I can either get a stock SR20VE engine and swap it into my car

I can keep the SR20DE block with the 8CW crank and swap a VE head on it

I can keep the SR20DE and add JWT S4s and a Calum RT to my mods and spray a 100 shot (see mods in my thread in sig)

juuuusssttt dooooiiiitttt!!'

ill keep the de and add s4's and spray. thats my setup anyway and once spraying youll forget about the ve.

spray is weak sauce, its like cheating, i mean on a fully built race car i can see its use.. but not on a street car..

well i dunno if its cheating. youre still adding power to the engine right? now if you go around town saying "oh i wasnt spraying dude" like alot of the honda kids do then yeah thats pretty dishonest. I like nitrous. If you see in my sig my best dyno was a 217whp with a 75 shot. I ass raped a VE P11 G20 one night on the street. Dude didnt think I could beat him with nitrous.

well ya thats kinda what i mean.. i like my power to be true, just what the engine can make on its own.. turbos are always there, same with s/c's.. but if you run out of spray you cant rely on that power it creates.. if that makes any sense.. lol

i really dont see your point^^^ turbo would be like the same thing as the bottle but you never have to refill it lol .....

i saw go VE and be done... if you already got s4 then i would just go with them and go with spray+de combo. If you dont got the s4's yet then your cost will probably be the same as going with a VE head. VE head goes for around 800 dollers. S4 go for around 350-400 used and there like what 500 new??? plus if you have to buy the nos kit thats another lets say 200??? give or take. unless you already have a nos set up for it. either way a full VE will be more expensive Vs the VE head and S4+nos combo. the the VE head and S4+nos combo will come to almost the same amount with the s4+nos being a little cheaper from my understanding n e ways

s4+ n20

mY VE ON A 50 PULLS A LITTLE HARDER THAN MY DE DID ON A 100 SHOT, I SAY GO VE ON DE BLOCK IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPRAY.


SORRY FOR CAPS LOL
