Thread: SR16VE issues

i've got a complete SR16VE engine with tranny.

i am thingking a changing just the block and looking to swap an SR20VE block.

is this possible? is this worth changing? any gain?

The sr20ve head is the same other then the cams... you could also throw the sr16 pistons in the sr20ve.

@cory, so you mean when i change the block to sr20ve i must use the sr16 piston? why?

Can't he get a 2.0 crank and notch the pistons.....

no not at all what I meant. I'm saying you could put them in the sr20. It'll raise your cr quit a bit into the high 12s...

If you already have an sr20ve then just put the sr16 cams in, they are a nice upgrade worth a few whp and longer power band..

@NissanGuy Thanks.

@cory actually its the other way around. I have an SR16VE and looking for an upgrade to beat a Honda guy with B16 DOHC. i just want to match on a 1600....
