Been a while since I've been on here and have searched hi and low but can't really find any info on a sr20 Vet conversion into the 1200
Just wondering if anyone has done it and what mods did you need to do to the end bay ( fire wall, etc ) to make it fit due to the solenoid on the rear of the head. It already purchased a taarks solenoid relocation kit for it but I'm still thinking it's going to be a super tight fit.
For the gearbox I have a built c4 already for it and will be getting fed with a hks t51r Spl as I don't like to do things by halves Hehehehe.

Anyway your Input would be greatly appreciated

Thanks Mick

There's only a few here that's done it. Mostly used by drag racers who don't have time to post photos or details except for racetech but his 1200 has the engine set back, totally non-stock

SSS or Mazworkx has everything needed to fit SR20VET into a 1200. You don't need the small-format VVL solenoid, you can cut a hole in the firewall and recess it.

Racetech

Thanks for the info ddgonzal 👍👍
For the fire wall I'll mostlikely move the whole section behind the motor back about 40mm to clear the taarks solenoid relocation kit (20mm thick ) compared to the vvl solenoids 115mm and will look a lot tidier in the long run and makes fun r easy install and removal of the motor so that I'm not damaging the paint etc
Also have purchased a Ross balancer and will remove the front pulley as it won't be needed to give me a extra 20-30mm at the front
For the X member I'll modify my spare one but do the Sr guys just use the stock mounts on the motor ? To adapt to the Maddat X member

Dont forget the overlooked cheaper, easier to play with KA24DE head
On a 2.1 Z22 bottom end and L20B crank and H beam rods and
factory 89mm pistons. Z22 blocks take 89-90mm bore with ease

SR20VET is from the X-Trail GT all-wheel-drive. What most guys do is get a Silvia SR20DET and swap the VET head

KA24DE is fine and make 156HP. A long long way from 280 hp of the SR20VET let alone the naturally aspirated SR16VE's 175 hp. Nissan VVL is the key feature

Quote:Yes, you can modify the 1200 crossmember just like for L-series but put the holes a little forward, See L/Z/KA/SR Crossmember. Many here use 510 style (low profile) rubber insulators, the SR20 insulators are better but thicker. Escort style puck insulators are a good heavy duty choice for off-roading

Or you can use the Maddat SR20 crossmember. Most guys use generic puck-style insulators with that Maddat unit

I've previously converted a 4agte and w55 box into it but want to go a bit further with the ute
So far I have for the build
Sr20 det block
Sr 20 vet head
Mazworks head and main studs
Plazmaman girdle
Taarks solenoid relocation kit and cas kit
Mazworks plenum
Built c4 auto
Hks t51r Spl bb

Just need to decide on rods and pistons and assemble the motor, also work out what size converter will work with the combo

As for power I'm hoping to make atleast 500 rwhp upto 700 rwhp 👍👍

Here's a pic of the current combo that I'm running

Sorry guys been a while since I've posted a pic on here. Just tried to upload some images off my iPad but not having much luck :(

Sounds like your build will be a bullet
