no, all SR20 intake manifolds don't line up. that's why you can't just bolt up ITB made for SR20DE (T) motors on a VE (it may be close i'm not 100% sure, but i do know that they're not a 100% perfect fit).

hope this help!!!

 

GTIR has its own bolt pattern

91-93 US DE, 91-93 UK DE, 91-97 JDM DE and all AWD DETs will line up. These are highport.

94-2001 US DE, 94-99 UK DE, and 97-00 are low port this includes Roller Rocker and VE motors. The VEs dont line up not 100% sure because i did not check yet.

There are a few motors that cross over but these dates are about correct.

 

Thanks for the info, I was just curious and trying to come up with a question that i dont think anyone as ask. Many more technical question to come. I think it would have been cheaper for nissan to keep the same molding for all the sr20 heads. I guess the sr20ve would have been an exception because the inside of the head would need more room for the vvl system.

 

Thanks for the info, It would have been cheaper for nissan to make the molding for all the sr20 heads the same. Don't make sense to me why there different but ok. Since there probably not a chance that the sr20det intake manifold fit on the sr20ve head; Will the sr20de intake manifold fit on a sr20det head?

91-93 US DE, 91-93 UK DE, 91-97 JDM DE and all AWD DETs will line up. These are highport.

The answer is yes

 

I thought the VE was a low-port.

 

Can you put the RR (00+) intake manifold on the VE motor? This would simplify wiring for the TPS, fuel, etc...

If possible, wouldn't it make the VE swap easier for those that have B15's and P11's???

How could it be any easier? All the sensors either get swapped from the old motor, or use the same connector. In my car, every sensor was the same, excpet the AAC valve, which either needed the harness changed, or make an adapter like I did.

 

The b15/p11 motor's have top feed injectors correct??? Don't VE's use side feed??? What about idle stuff and not having to un-bolt the TPS and other's.


Here's the point...

All I really wanted to know was if the RR intake manifold would bolt up a VE without issue. What's the big deal? I don't remember mentioning B14's or anything.

 

Thermoblok Spacers

I'm curious, too, if a '95-'98 low port intake manifold will line-up or even bolt to a VE. Why? I'd like to install a thermoblock spacer. As long as it was a pretty close fit we could always dremel away what was needed.

See this thread for background info on the thermoblock spacer: http://www.sr20forum.com/showthread.php?t=54027

I hear that the VE might get its very own thermoblock spacer. I will wait a year and find out.

 

Pardon me for asking, but what is a thermoblock spacer? Perhaps some sort of velocity stack for the intake manifold?

 

Search, my newbie friend.

I don't think anyone has tried the RR manifold on the VE yet. They look the similar, but not the same. The VEs use the same style injector as the B13/B14 injector. As for B15s, I don't know, I haven't messed with them yet. With the TPS, its easier to just take the TB off the old motor, and put it on the new one. The VE is an automatic, and also doesn't have any way for the cruise cable to hook up. If the RR intake does fit the VE, this could be an upgrade for the B15 guys. I'm almost sure the VE manifold flows better than the RR. The runners look longer than the B14 low port, that's for sure.

Dont count on them right away, I talk to Sean at Outlaw often and I dont think he will make them just yet. there arent that many VE's yet. If they are the same as the RR head then I can see it happening but untill there are a lot of them, probably not gonna see one. For a while at least.

Not what I heard but I will check with my source.

 

they could probably move an easy 10 units if they made them now

 

Im not saying he's not going to make them but just not yet. If he could sell 50 I'm sure he'd do it right away. He still hasnt been able to find a low port to prototype in Indy. I dont know of anyone in Indy with a VE and he wont do it anymore unless they're local. It's to hard to do on a car that isnt local. He has shown interest in doing it but there are other things that are a bigger priority right now.

I talked with someone who said they will drop a VE car off to him next year sometime. Not local but he would leave the car for the time that it takes to do the job.

 

It is very reasonable that the VE and the low port DE are the same in the intake manifold to cylinder head area. If that is the case, then as soon as we have a low port car to prototype on, we could move to producing ThermoBlok spacers that would work on both the low port and VE (and RR) motors.

Someone in Indy, please come forward!
