SR20VE FAQ: Read This First!
What does Neo VVL stand for?
Nissan Ecology Orientated Variable Valve Lift and Timing
The VE (Neo VVL) series of engines is Nissan's answer to Honda's VTEC.
The two systems are nearly identical. They use the same concept of
multiple cam lobes to provide a low rpm cam ideal for torque and a high
rpm cam optimized for hp. The only difference in the Nissan system is
that the intake and exhaust cams are triggered indepedently for a
flatter, more consistent power band. You can read more about the VTEC
system here.
How many different VE motors are there?
There are five (5) VE motors.
SR16VE - 173hp 5 speed Manual 97-2001

*Only 500 of these engines are thought to have been produced.
**These are average prices based on availability and engine condition.
Actual prices may vary.
What are the origins of these motors?
SR16VE - 1.6L VVL motor found in the Nissan Sunny Lucino VZ-R, Sunny GT
and Pulsar VZ-R.
SR16VE N1 - 1.6L VVL motor found in the Nissan Pulsar VZ-R N1 and Pulsar
VZ-R N1 SSS.
SR20VE - 2.0L VVL motor found in the Nissan Primera (Infiniti G20
bodystyle), Bluebird, Wingroad, and Autobacs Garaiya.

How difficult is installing a VE?
In a B13 I the install should be similar to that of a B14 with the only
exception being the wiring of the distributor and ignition coil.
Hopefully someone will provide the specific wiring instructions for a B13
and we will append the FAQ.
In a B14 the install is very straightforward. The only additonal changes
necessary are rewiring the distributor and one additional 2-wire harness.
You also need to wire the two VVL solenoids. Instructions for wiring the
distributor can be found here. Information about RPM triggers can be
found here.
The DE transmission bolts right onto the VE. In fact many of the DE items
are a direct VE bolt on. They share the same block design.
Steve Foltz, aka "98sr20ve", created a fantastic install resource with
pictures of installation in his '98 SE which you can view here.

What modifications can I perform to make my VE faster?

Not sure if this question has been asked before but does anybody know
what is the market price for the SR20VE and a good workshop that can do
the conversion onto a N16 Sentra.

Well its always good to do some research first. I may not be doing this
yet but I'm sure some others (you know who you are
) might already be
contemplating it. So it is beneficial for all.

Techie, if my memory serves me well, I did happen to see a post regarding
a SR20VE halfcut somewhere in Ipoh for RM5,600. That is, well, if my
memory serves me correct
P.S. Techie U can officially take over my place for N16 transplant white
mice.
