Thread: sr16ve to 2.0 conversion?

i really dont know bro this is just stuff i've read so none of its first hand experience

but i'd say shave 1mm off the top of the pistons an use a stock gasket. that should take you down a few tenths of compression, hell maybe have the valve reliefs takin down 1mm deeper also an that would bring you down more, but when the machine work starts costing more then new pistons you gotta weigh your options.

yeah aren't the n1's like 300? imma ask around i know the owner of arias pistons see how much he will hook it up for the machining thanks for the input

Throw them in as is. Get an oem VET headgasket. Use a 2.0 crank/rods. A set of bearings from ACL in standard size. Button everything up and you should be ready to go. Then its time to tune, tune, tune.

Yes to 13.+. If you don't have 93 pump gas where you live don't even bother with the SR16 pistons. Just get the stock 2.0 pistons VE.

+1

question: would you remember how far they went with timing?and on what octane?

same project here, will be getting the 16ve in a week or 2 and we have 100octane pump here....

every engines different, same with fuel. your best bet is to start with a really conservitive map an take it to the dyno asap
