Thread: SR20VE Dyno: Stock Cams vs. SR16VE Cams

sr16 cams @ 15 degrees would have given a bigger difference.

ive also heard from others aswell that the sr16 cams and the sr16n1 cams will yield very close to the same peak whp, the n1 will just hold on to the powerlonger... my n1 cams gained very little over the sr16 cams but they did hold the power better...

Sr16 cams are not bad when compared to the stock sr20ve cams. Just going to agree with Cory. I was under the impression if your revving out to 9K then N1s are better slightly.

Anyone have any straight up dyno comparisons of N1s vs. SR16 (non-N1) cams?

There was one floating around by Charles I think. The n1's ate the 16ve's alive on the low end, pretty sure both were at 0,0.

Yeah the sr16 has a weak low cam

And now comparing the regular 20VE's to 16VE's I guess it should be like S3's for the 16VE's and S4's to the N1's

The N1's will outperform 16VE's hands down but, would the 16VE's outperform the 20VE's?

From 130km onwards is the difference of N1 VS SR16....race engine - stupid comp - standalone and good tuning.

why dont you guys put these graphs on a RPM scale.

130KM and onards says nothing and does not give a real comparison vs power to RPM

Yes. Just the numbers of the degrees and duration prove this. Of course the tuning will impact your results.

Do it properly and an SR16VE cam will make more peak HP than any SR20VE (stock) cam.

At most, 0.9mm of lift on Sr16VE N1 cams compared to SR16VE cams and 8 degrees of duration. (On high lobes)

The lower end or lobes may "suffer" by losing some duration and lift, but the high lobes simply put the stock SR20VE cams to shame.

A benefit of applying SR16VE cams to a daily driver is you should get the best economy and having some of the best high lobes of the Nissan factory VVL cam options.
