Thread: Need some help! for a all motor newb.

You need to do some more research instead of asking all these questions that can be easily found.

I have done plenty of research. Im asking questions about my specific setup.

Please stay on topic

i would shift it at 7500 for now with the stock cams. theres a thread somewhere saying thats max safe.

and if you want an extra hand with the swap hit me up lol

You have no specific setup, you are asking people's opinions on a quick all motor setup. But, I'll keep my mouth shut and let people spoon feed you with some correct info....and some wrong info that's been posted.

I thought I was going to find some questions about a built setup not a stock swap I'm guessing u didn't find the info somehow but I promise its all out there.

Newb comment of the year! And with authority, so shut up!

The stock cams run out of power at a pretty low RPM. You can run them up to 7500 RPM, but it may not be worth it. JWT sets the rev limiter for stock cams at 7200 because the power drops off.

And, yea, you can learn a lot from doing some more searching.

Should rev to 7500-8000rpm to keep it in the optimum powerband.
Most cars peak power is ~7200 but there is benefits from being able to rev past here.

This dyno compares the stock SR20VE cams (green line) with the SR16VE (non-N1) cams (blue line) with the same engine and setup. You really want to be revving that engine with the stock cams out to 7500-8000 RPM?

The green SR20VE line is not that conclusive as the power didn't really fall drastically (you only get a tiny hint its gonna fall from 6880-7040 rpm), perhaps if it went to 7400-7500 then it could be clearer.

How about the SR16VE cams in this graph. What would be your shiftpoint opinion?
