Thread: JDM SR20VE ECU on a SR16VE N1

And WTF is up with the green paint on all the screws?

i purchased this car believing what the previous owner told me ... i hope he is right ... i believe him till someone proves me wrong ... here some pics that bazza asked me for to help me out with determining if this is a n1 or not took 27 pictures before i got both of the valves lol didnt wanna remove that whole head ... call me lazy but i dont wanna snap a exhaust bolt ... hopefully this can find me the truth ... thanks alot for all ur feed back

bro that motor is clean as fuk guy. considering u drove from miami to west palm like for 3 months str8 an now u went to texas from miami.... fukin A

its called expensive ****in mobile 1 oil and frequent oil changes lol i was surprised too when i first looked at it

Hey man don't smash your head anymore.
What you got there is fine SR16VE engine with a full N1 intake manifold and probably some internals.
You ain't have a genuine N1 engine. A SR16VE will always be a 1,6lt engine and the SR20VE will give you hard time...
You can use a diagnostics software to read the code of your ecu and find out what you actually have. Since you don't have 8 injectors you don't need a N1 ecu, you can tune yours.

All Genuine N1 use a hydraulic transmission, 8 injectors, unique Aluminum 80mm maf 22680-2N500, special air hose and air box, unique AAC valve 23781-1N500, etc...
Their fuel rail comes with a single regulator and no fuel damper...

finally lol ... by any chance can u post some pictures of the valves on the exhaust side

I never removed the header and I'm not planning to do it in the near future...

thats cool but thanks for the help ... now i know what i have to do .... the previous owner told me to get a sr20 bottom end but i wanna see what i can do with the sr16 first ... wont hurt cause i can always use the bolt ons for the sr20 whenever i decide to go that route
