SR20VE Installation FAQ: Read This First!
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 additional 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 and here. Most of this information applies to all cars wiring up the VVL.

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.
