the S14 ande S15 SR20DE's came with VTC and are very good motors, the S15 SR20DE Autech with 6 speed is really a great NA rwd nissan motor.

That is not the SR20VE motor like mine, looks like a normal SR20DE, but uou mentioned it being a vvt, so it could be the SR20DET from the S14 which had some sort of VVT control.

That 3k was just for disassembley cleaning. Machining balancing. Assembley And few other little bits and pieces like new valve guides etc. I will type out the quote when I finish work.

awesome build! interested to see how the dash comes along..

That looks like a S14 motor, so you can use the stock S14 gearbox..

What are you doing to the motor that required 3K+ worth of work?? converted to my local currency thats the equivalent of pretty stout motor build, headwork with some parts included..

good luck and looking forward to progress

so have been back out to the shed.
a little progress has been made. dash has been cut to size. im attaching it to the original dash frame or was thinking about it anyway, still have to trim it up abit but it is on its way.

paint stripping is goin slow and steady. awaiting pay day to purchase some more.

thanks to everyone that came and cleared out my parts pile i can get back into my storage shed, for now at least

today i went down to chris milton engine development. had a chat to Sam. putting together a plan for the engine. the quote i got today without parts is $3172.98

heres some more pics of the progress.

bought the motor bare so will probably have aftermarket manifolds etc anyway. will be speaking to the engine shop about it on monday when i go down there. will let you all know the plan once i have discussed what is realistically posible.

While the motor is in for the recon, consider a set of SR16VE or N1 pistons to up the compression ratio and a set of N1 cams, if you feel that you will need more power. My biggest issue on the motor side is the induction, need to get a plan on that, maybe do a quick job on the standard intake, just swap it around and then later on fit a set of Martin Bruwer 48mm Throttles.

just had a read through. nice work and thanks for the support. will let you know as it comes along. not sure on gearbox plans the engine was a good buy so i snapped it up.
engine is going for recon before it goes in so will be a little while yet. trying to get all the body and interior work done before i start with fitting the engine diff etc.

What is your plans regarding the gearbox on the SR20VE. My project page would be able to help you, I just went threw the SR20VE in RWD configuration with a S14 gearbox.

so nows the shell is stripped. the engine is coming out of a s14a tomorrow. picked up the r33 seats today. has anyone done conversions on rear seats? will take them out to the shed after will post the differences in sizes on here incase anyone else is interested.
