Your f**king awsome mate, thanks alot, this helped so much.

Its going into a Silvia, RWD. East West setup? Does that mean FWD? I Am going to use an S14 SR20DE Block, with an SR20VE Head. Only problems I can see is, wiring, intake manifold, and the Dizzy, not sure how the hell that is going to fit behind the engine. Can anyone advise me?

Thats neat man! Did you use a GTiR block? Or did the SR20VE Block fit straight in? Also what intake manifold did you use? and the wiring? Will normal SR20DE Loom do the job? I will get an aftermarket management system to get it all tuned up. Cheers. Also where can I find an SR20VE head, got any ideas?

Ah alright, can you explain what east west engines are? lol sorry I'm not very clued up with this stuff, pretty new to it all. Cheers man

Hey all, I had a crazy idea last night and I decided I wanted to put an SR20VE Head on an SR20DE S14 Block. Question is, will this work? I see people saying stuff about the solenoids, is that a big problem relocating them? Also I see people getting custom intake manifolds made up, can't I just use the SR20DE Intake manifold? I may not necessarily do this but I am just very curious, and hopefully the more knowledgable members out there can clear some stuff up for me. Cheers!

Sounds tough as f**k!

This would be a machine for any young driver here in australia, due to our gay P plate restrictions.

Will do man, thanks. Ye basically, that was what I was going to do. - K & N Panel Filter - Cat back with high flow cat - Extractors - Nistune ECU Chip - Tomei Pon Cams - Coil Overs - Strut Braces - Nice set of 17"s I'll contact him to see if I missed anything Cheers

read, please open your eyes, and just read.

ye that is true, S15 SR20DET Stock make 147kw, which would be great for me really. But yea what "bolt ons" did he do? I don't mind spending on easy stuff. Mad089 said I should get a nistune chip, which I am going to do first + set of cams, and get it all tuned, will make some good power

Maybe take it back to the workshop, I'm sure they could sus it out for you seeing the car was working fine before they touched it. But yea from what it sounds like coilpacks, find one of your mates and swap, if it fixes, get some coilpacks:) If NOT, go back to the workshop that did conversion.

Alright, sounds like a good idea. Thanks again for the info man, really helped, and it makes sense Will be in touch with you when I get my new engine.

But S15 is way more sex.

Car was a gift, I absolutely love the S15, and that be the reason i want to keep it. If you read my otherposts, you will see that I have decided not to do a non turbo conversion, instead purchase an S14SR20DE do some mild engine work and chuck it in. I can buy a N/A S13 easy, but the S15 is my dream car, and I finally have it now. Not going to let go of it. And no I am not related to that guy, he just unbolted the turbo and drove it like that, which was absolutely stupid. I was planning to completely rebuild the engine with SR22 Kit from tomei, that has high compression pistons and will have more grunt. Anyone with half a brain knows that pulling a turbo off a motor that was BUILT for a turbo, then trying to drive it, is not going to go well.

Also, which cams should I get? http://www.tomei-p.co.jp/_2003web-catalogue/efr_index.html

Thanks alot for the reply. The S15 has 65000kms on it, drives well, everything is stock, has a front mount but thats it. I think an S14 SR20DE is probably going to be my decision. What is nistune? I have never heard of it sorry, what does it do? and how much is it? I can get an S14 SR20DE Engine for $1000. Also is it better to get the VCT model or Non VCT? I hear you can take the VCT out anyway?

Ye sounds like a good idea. You have successfully convinced me out of doing the conversion. I can get good coin for my engine as is, but should I sell the entire setup? IE. - Engine - Gearbox - Wiring Loom - Tailshaft Or should I keep everything and just drop an S14 SR20DE in there? Will the loom fit? The gearbox will bolt straight on im pretty sure.

Thank you for your input, it actually has logic behind it. Exhaust and all is stock, so that should be fine. I just think that an S15 SR20 will be more reliable that an older SR20. Money wise isn't such a big problem, I am willing to fork out 3-4grand.

mate, i called Queensland transport, I called them today, and they said it is legal, as long as the turbo is removed. And if I did do the SR22 work, it would run well, and there is no way to tell that it is 2.2L So unless you know anything about what else is required to convert to non turbo, you can keep your 2cents.

Background Info I have been researching this topic for a while, and in ALL the other threads I have read, people keep saying "JUST BUY A N/A SR20 ITS HAYPS EASIER YEA" This is not the answer I am looking for. Situatiion I have an SR20DET out of an S15, I want convert it to SR20DE. What I need to know What is involved in this process exactly and what do I need. I know I will need: - Extractors Or standard N/A Exhaust manifold - Standard intake piping - N/A Injectors - N/A ECU - High Compression Pistons Is that all I need to change? Will the N/A ECU (Out of S14) plug straight in? Can I put a set of pistons from SR20DE (Probably S13 SR20DE) in? Or do I have to get an SR22DE High compression kit from Tomei and get it all rebored and that? Again please, like I said, Do not tell me its easier to put an SR20DE engine in, or buy an Autech S15 or something, thats not what I'm looking for. I am very curious to know what is necessary to do the conversion. It may seem stupid to some, but P plate laws are a bitch. Cheers
