Rwd Sr16Ve

[pol090_ke11]

Was just wondering how hard it would be to turn a sr16ve to a rwd turbo for a ke11 if any one has any information or has done this kind of conversion before please let me know,

 

here is a picture I found of one in rwd form in a datsun 510.

that's a crap job done right there. See the big box section off the back? thats to allow room for the oil control solenoids. Remote mounting systems are available instead of doing this lousy attempt at a fix.

Hi Sam and yes I am aware of the products you make I have actually used you before if you don't remember my name, On that note do you make a rwd kit for this engine and if so how much and the question I asked is how hard is it to do? And is there anyone who has done this conversion before?

[Sam_Q]

no I don't make anything for Nissans. I have been asked to make a conversion kit for these and even promised a certain amount of sales to make it happen but i turned it down. There are two places that do make them, I just don't remember the names. Go to nissansilvia.com and type in sr20ve, its the same thing. Doesn't look that hard to do

Cheers mate will let you know how my research goes.

For anyones interest I have done some further research and there is a sr16vvl or sr20vvl head conversion kit for sr20det available but it is about $2500 so i think ill leave that technology alone stick with a sr20de conversion into my ke11 with itb's, head work, mild cams, custom headers, and beef the spark and fuel up a bit and see how i go from there should be a great NA engine and power to weight ratio, anyones opinion and ideas would be great also.
