SR16ve head on SR20ve block

Hey,

Been contemplating about this setup so i searched the forum but came up empty handed so.....
Is it worth it? What are the gains? And would the SR20VE cams be a better option in the 16 head?

Bless

IIRC, they are identical. The SR16 cams will make more power over the 20VE cams. I personally wouldn't go for it unless it was an sr16ve N1 head.

I thought so. I made the speculation based on honda engines, seeing that b16 flows better than b20 blah blah blah (it's probably forbidden to speak of the "H" kind here lol) so i thought it would be the same with sr. Thanks for the feed back anyways

If you have a SR20VE and a spare SR16VE head just swap the cams

Am quite aware of this swap but am unaware of the gains.

i really dont think there is any difference in head flow between sr16ve and sr20ve heads

if you just have the sr20ve lower half and a sr16ve head, then bolt them up...

with honda b series, the head flows are different and possibly change of compression when you bolt 2 different b series together. not so for the sr16/20ve series.

the colour of the font will let you know who this is from wj...

where you gonna get sr16head?

and since you dont have the sr16ve head, just get n1 cams instead of sr16ve cams

Not going all out on this one so 16 cams can work
