But u will need stronger valve springs, The stock ones won't cut it.

They can only fit in the S13 SR20DET. The S14 and S15 have Variable Valve timing, so they won't fit!

what about distributer placement? the jwt cams have the gears on them for the fwd dist. will it cause problems in a rwd situation where the distrubuter isnt off the back of the valve cover?

The RWD DETs don't use distributers. they are Distributerless, The only reason I know they will work is cause I know somone who had them in his car and fuked up his head cause the stock valve springs couldn't hang.

I don't know where to start with this post. :o :confused:

I say this lightly, before giving advice, learn what your talking about. Not one thing you said makes sense. No offense.

No go chief. You have a VTC motor. The cams won't work in the VTC SR20's.

Just get a red top and stick in there! It's a high port...you know the REAL SR20? :D ;)
