Thread: Please Post Up If You Have A SR20VE Motor With N1 Cams On Stock Springs & Retainers

I just tore apart my buddies engine that had N1 cams on stock springs and retainers for over 2 years with no rev limiter reving to 9k because it still made over 180whp at 9k. gears set to +5,-5. Motor saw probably 11-12k several times during mis shifts with no rev limiter trying to quick shift into 2nd. Never had an issue. There was no signs of piston to valve contact when I tore it apart. Valvetrain all looked perfect. The n1 cams are definitely a very very smooth ramping cam.

this is so good to know

So wat caused the engine to blow?

Nothing caused the engine to blow, it was in perfect condition making 200+whp when it was pulled from my buddies wrecked car. I tore it apart because I bought it from him to use for my build. Block is getting sleeved and mild port matching and polishing on the head.
