Synx 05-11-2002, 05:16 PM An forced induction SR20VE sounds yummy right about now... I will gladly donate my car to the project. So you supply the turbo and VE and ill supply the hardwork time and car body. By donate i mean, you send me the motor and turbo and ill put it in my car :D :D . Really though has anyone attempted this yet? JasOne510 05-11-2002, 06:43 PM www.gonzonx.com This should answer your question... CowboyDren 05-11-2002, 06:48 PM An SR20VET is/was an option on the Japanese XTrail sport-ute. The "VVL" only actuated the intake cam, though. Me thinks it would take a lot of tuning to get right; possibly not worth the effort vs. a DET with Jim Wolf S3 cams and a set of adjustable sprockets. I'm a monkey, though...

How do you figure? I can't foresee any additional tuning. The benefits include optimized cams for the low and high rpm bands to help aid spool-up. I would tell anyone considering turbocharging a VE not to waste their money. Why do it? You can get just as big a thrill turbcharging a DE and still have the same effect. A VE is to give an added advantage to those normally aspirated folks. On the other hand, I am working on turbocharging my VE right now. Why? Well for one thing I spun a bearing and I figure if I going to rebuild the bottom end I might as well do it right. And secondly, I just got finished turbocharging my buddies SI yesterday and it is so much fun I need a turbo of my own. LOL - do as I say not as I do! 98sr20ve 05-11-2002, 09:57 PM Did you spin a bearing on your VE or your De?? Steve domiguy 05-11-2002, 10:53 PM Wow, you spun a bearing already, did you just get it done?? CNibbana 05-12-2002, 01:10 PM Yeah I spun a bearing on the VE. Right off the bat less than 300 miles and two weeks driving. chriscar 05-12-2002, 01:15 PM Originally posted by CNibbana Yeah I spun a bearing on the VE.

Did the motor have a problem from the start, or was it (shudder to think) run low on oil. Chris CNibbana 05-12-2002, 02:04 PM I'm positive it wasn't low on oil. I checked that before and after the problem. I haven't dropped the oil pan yet and haven't inspected the crank or the bearings. Andreas speculates that there is a slight possibility I have a loose flywheel because of my clattering noise and loss of power at higher RPMs fit the same problem. But I'm usually not that lucky. I'll update when I know. 98sr20ve 05-12-2002, 03:21 PM That sucks. I'm sorry to hear that. Steve | ||
