Thread: SR20ve vs SR20det

If you are handy and not abusive either would be a good choice. I had a VE then boosted it still have it on boost with ac, ps, etc. Not a problem and I usually pounce on this car everyday until recently.

Damn that sucks, seems pretty common nowadays. Guess it just depends on the owner, shop, and luck. Believe there have been instances where everything has been done right but random shit happens, murphy's law.

did you have any issues putting the VE in your car, what did you use for ecu and cam switch box P10?

I have a basic board done by Gio. Using an msd 8969(I no longer recommend) for VVL activation. My car is originally a 1.6 SE, dropped in a DE then slapped a VE head on it, last came the boost. I have to admit, I really didn't do most of the work, Gio did it. lol

well dan speaks highly of the engine zone place so if they come back with a better shipping price i will go ahead and order from them. guess once i get the #%^$ tempo off the hoist i will put one of the NX's into the shop and pull engine and wiring harness

If your in washington. you can get the one from jdm engine zone shipped for 900 flat. Im in vancouver wa. They had the freight truck back right up to my door.

Alex_b13 also purchased from them also iirc, he was happy with the outcome. Motor runs real healthy.

im up in bellingham about 20 miles from canada, might be a little more since it is 250 miles farther north. just waiting for them to get back to me on shipping

Probally not because ur further east to, instead of going up in idaho they had to ship it to portland oregon, and then to me in vancouver wa, so instead it would go from idaho straight to washington so it might even be cheaper. All i know is jdm engine zone has a good reputation and everyone here has seemed happy with them so far.

further west, right in the NW corner of washington, 20 to canada and 10 to bellingham bay

you guys are splitting peas.. they dont charge by the city they go by state.
