Thread: vvl swap help

hey guys, im planning on going VE in my b14 pretty soon and i lack some of the knowledge on how to do this swap. I have a thread saved in my computer on everything i need to know but my computer is down and ive been searching and searching on here and nothing is popping up. idk why. Im not being lazy haha. Anywho, can someone help me plz and send me some links? There's one that list's EVERYTHING. im just confused on some hoses from the fire wall? and some other stuff. Thanks

You'll need an adapter for one of of the heater core hoses since the VE uses a different size. I can't remember the size off hand, but I also printed out some stuff way back in the day and kept as reference material. I can probably look it up. What else do you need to know?

It'll be a 3/4 to 5/8 adaptor.
The bottom hole on the fire wall is almost a straight shot to the pipe on the engine. It's a little offset.
The top hole, I used the hose that andres mike suggests and ran it to the pipe under the throttle body.

And btw I'm pretty sure the pages you're looking for are on the "other forum"

Well pretty much stuff like, will all the sensors work? Do all lines match up for like vacuum and stuff? Thats about it. Just some major changes maybe? thanks alot

And is this what you guys are talking about? http://www.sr20-forum.com/vvl/11650-hose-remember-vvl.html

Yes. Thats the hose.

On my nx I cut about five inches off the long end of it and didnt need any adapter.

You'll need to swap the water temp sensors, and the IACV(iirc) plug.

Other than that, you should be fine really.(depending on what ECU you're using, step-down, b14 OBDII, etc.)

For now im using my ecu and injectors. And does everything just swap from my DE to the VE?

Get a tuneable ecu asap, you'll miss out on a lot of power with just the de ecu. But it'll run fine.

And yes the sensors swap straight out. It's just that the JDM water temp sensor has a different plug on it, just like the IACV.

okay that will be first thing. Can i just get my ecu reprogramed? jgy said they can do it but for 500.00 and injectors or something
