Help !! Confusion on VE Engine compression

cmng · 05-21-2007, 03:26 AM

I do search around
but still could not get the comfirmation of the actual engine compression when i put the following piston on VE block

Block = SR16VE
Rod = SR20VE
Crank =SR20VE
Gasket = Nissan OEM 20V metal gasket

what compression i will get if i use the following piston :
SR16VE piston
SR20VE piston
SR20VE 20V piston
SR20DE piston
Z32 NA 87mm Piston

Or any piston that will make the engine compression in between 11 to 12 ?

Thank you very much

which head; whats the compressed thickness of that gasket; what are the complete specs of each of those pistons (i.e. compression height, pin height, etc)?

sr16ve Block = sr20ve block
sr20ve rods = sr20de rods
sr20ve crank = sr20de crank
sr16ve head = sr20ve head (cams are only difference)

Assuming ve block and head....

sr20ve piston = 10.3
sr20de piston = 10.3
sr20ve 20v piston = 11

Assuming ve block and head....

sr16ve piston = 13.5

Thank
So i can assume as following

Block = SR16VE
Rod = SR20VE
Crank =SR20VE
Gasket = Nissan OEM 20V metal gasket

what compression i will get if i use the following piston :
SR16VE piston = 13.5
SR20VE piston = 10.3
SR20VE 20V piston = 11.0
SR20DE piston = 10.3
Z32 NA 87mm Piston

DE and VE piston is same ?

Thank you

DE and VE pistons are different.
VE piston has notches for the valves.
Check this link for sr16, de, and de uk pistons
You can see the valve notches in the sr16 piston.
