davidian Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 will SR16VE head fit on 18DE block? If so is anything else needed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegreatestben Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Potentially no timing chain to suit? I dunno if VE has a different chain in anyway but something to consider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidian Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 read on wiki i believe that the SR18 and 20 blocks are the same with the 18 having a crank with a shorter stroke or something along them lines so potentially same crank pulley/chain. Also thinkking about valve setup/ecu side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobranz Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 it may bolt up, may not line up correctly tho, will need an external oil feed for the ve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick_m Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 sr18 has a smaller bore not a smaller stroke unfortunately = gay The head will bolt onto the block but there is no oil feed in the block for the solenoids so you need to run an external line. Just buy a whole VE. 20ve's are going in the 800-1000 range on trade me now. Its not worth the hassle to make a franken motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This man speaks the truth. And if you happen to have an SR16VE head sitting around doing nothing (the reason for this thread?) then whip the cams out and through them in the 20, because they seem to be better than the SR20VE ones.

davidian Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 chur, just looking at a nana hatch tonight with a 18 in it but the 16 specs just sound tasty so just had the mix idea to ponder on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick_m Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 16ve/20ve will is a bolt in swap for the sr18. Just keep the sr18 gearbox and replace sr18 with ve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
