SR20VET? Has it been done?

Post by **BB Turbo** » Thu Jan 02, 2003 9:40 am

Has anyone everseen an SR20VET swapped into a 240sx in the states, and, is it even possible? If anyone knows about this engine extensively, please tell! I know it has like 275 hp and is used in the jdm xterra and has like variable valve timing or something, but please tell about it!

SR20VET??? that's a new one to me.....are you sure on the name? i'm pretty sure the xterra uses a V6 and it's more than a 2.0 Litre....i think you got something mixed up....and Nissan's VVT isn't what it's cracked up to be...i believe they got something better that makes VTEC look like s***....

Post by **I H8 UR DSM** » Thu Jan 02, 2003 9:40 am

yes thats what its called..

and why do you say "nissans vvt isnt what its cracked up to be"????

And it shouldnt be compared to VTEC since they are two different things......

Isn't the VET a FWD version only? It's a pretty potent machine, 280HP out of the box, IIRC.

Post by **hannibal** » Thu Jan 02, 2003 9:40 am

Xterras are RWD, not FWD

Post by **BuudWeizErr** » Thu Jan 02, 2003 9:40 am

Hmm, I could have sworn that someone here was saying that it was FWD version only, i know the XTerras are RWD... anyways, I don't know anything about the VET except that it appears to be a good motor.

Heres the NA version but it has a pic to figure out what the Neo VVL does. http://www.missnismo.com/neo_sr20ve.htm

Post by **bp2ooo** » Thu Jan 02, 2003 9:40 am

wow, those are very impressive numbers for a 2.0. I wonder what kinda boost they run stock. Has more hp then and s15 black top sr20det.

Take a look at http://www.sr20deforum.com. There is a forum dedicated to the SR20VE motor.

Post by **projectsr** » Thu Jan 02, 2003 9:40 am

Yes info on that motor is greatly appreciated.

Nissan explains pretty techanically what's the Sr20VE all about,

The SR20VET is FWD/AWD only.

Post by **GodzillaFan** » Thu Jan 02, 2003 9:40 am

but I do wonder what the difference between the FWD and RWD heads are...

Post by **SR180SX** » Thu Jan 02, 2003 9:40 am

I heard the SR20VE before, but SR20VET that's the first

Post by **GodzillaFan** » Thu Jan 02, 2003 9:40 am

its an option as a motor in the Nissan X-Trail, rated at 280ps.

Post by **stuofsci02** » Thu Jan 02, 2003 9:40 am

Where have you guys been??? SR20VET is no big surprise...

Post by **BB Turbo** » Thu Jan 02, 2003 9:40 am

I just now read all of the posts, but has it ever been swapped and is it even possible to get?

Post by **BB Turbo** » Thu Jan 02, 2003 9:40 am

Actually, does anyone on the NICO forums have that engine? And where can you get the engine? Is it even worth getting the engine, I doubt it but someone help

Post by **Justice** » Thu Jan 02, 2003 9:40 am

Ok... no big suprise ya say....

What suprises me is that thay put the VET in a SUV but not in the S15 or let alone... a S16 ... heh get rid of the grand prix tail lights.

peace-

According to THIS Article, the truck is FWD mainly, and then splits to the rear, similar to a Ford Escape. This COULD be a GREAT upgrade for us FWD guys.....would love to find a pic of the way the motor is setting under the hood.....(runs back to do more GOOGLE searchs!!!)

Post by **frigga** » Thu Jan 02, 2003 9:40 am

so is it worth being done...? puttin a SR20VET in a 91' 240 as opposed to a regular SR20DET?

I also would be interested in what parts are interchangeble.

Post by **BB Turbo** » Thu Jan 02, 2003 9:40 am

Dang, I didnt know it would spark that much interest, just like the rest of you guys I want to know all of the questions you have asked

did you read the whole thread? dont think so.

Post by **pissedoffsol** » Thu Jan 02, 2003 9:40 am

http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/sho....com/ some pics there... again, looks to sit FWD way, and as stated- acts like the honda crv, where its mostly fwd, and the rear is added as the 4wd which = ****ty differential for power if you are considering going rwd with it
