You have to run the VE intake manifold. Or you can have something custom built.

ok, since i'm not speaking english so well, i would like to resume and ask some question!

- For the computer: we need to run an aftermarket system like "Calum daughterboard with his VE program" or the SR20VE computer. Right?

- Valve clearance on DE stock block? Valve clearance, no issue. Right?

- DE oil pump fit? De pump WILL work on the VE head with DE block BUT BETTER USE A "VE" PUMP. Right?

Now my question:

- Which block it is? filter not located same place as my SR20DE from my 200SX Se-R 1995

- Roller Rocker? What is that? Is my car had Roller Rocker?

- Wire from the NEOvvl solenoid goes where?

- Do I need a Roller Rocker Block to fit the SR20VE head?

Tanx a lot!

I'd just like to point out something. I was using this How-To to drill my VE head to put it on a DE bottom end. I drilled through the back, then the bottom.....and screwed the 1/8" NPT plug. The plug was blocking almost all of the hole on the back. So i suggest drilling a hole that's higher than that.

Luis · 08-05-2007, 07:22 PM

Or you can get a really tiny plug like I did (first one I found). The one I used was about 1/4 the size of the theoretical one listed above ^^

you have to take out the cams to install the head, or what was your reason for taking them out?

daveracer · 08-05-2007, 11:29 PM

I just decided to get the bottom one welded up and the head resurfaced. Costs like $50 and it's done the right way.

It was for an NA car. And the RR bottom end is way newer and 4CW. We just did the same swap on a Avenir DET and had no problems.

Salvisol82 · 09-14-2007, 06:14 PM

^^^ Ok good to know.

LucinoSR20de · 01-23-2008, 11:12 PM

dont know if you ever check this or if anyone does, but what did you do about the coolant hard lines being RIGHT in the way of the oil fitting for the line we have to run for the oil to the selonoids? The bolt hole on the block RIGHT under that fitting is where that bracket is supposed to go.

Luis · 01-23-2008, 11:41 PM

You don't need to do anything about the hard lines. You can run the oil line around it. Here is a picture from another ve head swap we did.

LucinoSR20de · 01-23-2008, 11:52 PM

what hardline is that from? A rr engine? looks like a det.. but that hardline looks a lot different from the det OR the ve ones we have. I just spy the oil cooler as well.
