Thread: Sr20DE vs Sr20VE Dimensions

Hi Guys

IM new here. ive got a k11 micra that ive decided to do an engine conversion on. The engine im planning on using is an SR20VE.

My question to you is, do any of you know if there is much of a dimensional size difference between the VE and the DE motors and g'boxes. is the VE motor and box bigger than the DE's?

I know i can fit a DE and box in with some modding, but unsure how i will go with the VE...

any advice or help is much appreciated, thanks in advance

Dimensions are identical. SR20VE never had a manual tranny, most people use their old DE tranny

^^^ what he said ^^^

n.b. for the rr motor......

never had a manual box??? strange, cause the one im looking at buying comes with a 6 spd manual and its all brand new (came from a nissan dealer that went under in japan)

thanks for the help tho guys

Well you said SR20VE. This motor that you are referring to is the 20V. Different story.You might find it more difficult to fit that tranny as it is bigger than the normal trannys. Even fitting that into a B13 and B14 needs a lot of modifications.
You could however mate that engine to a B13/14 tranny, replace the flywheel that came with the 20V motor with a DE flywheel as the 20V flywheel wont fit inside the DE bellhousing.

thanks bud.

if there is anyone one who knows how long (in mm) the DE box is or has one lying around they could measure for me would they please be able to tell me?

i took some rough measurements on the VE 6spd when i had a look the other night and its about 410-420mm long

can we see some pics plz........

im headin back out to see the guy again early next week so will take some pics then anyone got some measurements i could use???

375mm
