Howzit Guys...
Good Start the project efficancy.
Pulleys:
---------
I installed the pulleys yesterday, Installation is not an easy task it took me about 4 hours of constant annoyance to get them installed.
The stock pulleys total weight is 3KG's compared to the 950gram's of the after market pulleys.

F1 Racing Lightweight Chromoly Flywheels are made from 4140 one-piece billet chromoly steel. They are specifically designed to reduce weight and inertia for better engine response. Most incorporate special design features to enhance the air flow to improve the cooling of the clutch. The ring gear teeth are milled onto the flywheel unlike an aluminum flywheel where the ring gear is pressed onto the flywheel which has the possibility of separating from the flywheel. All F1 Racing Chromoly flywheels have passed engineering tests to 12,000 rpm.
Ultra heavy-duty and weighs only 13.3 lbs
Meets or exceeds SFI 1.1 specification
Made from 4140 forged chromoly steel (2X stronger than billet steel)
F1 Racing Lightweight Chromoly flywheels incorporate special design features to enhance the airflow for improved clutch cooling
F1 Racing Lightweight Chromoly flywheels work with every clutch including Exedy, ACT, Fidanza, Clutchmasters, and other OEM clutch kits
CAD designed, CNC machined and computer balanced
Wow man, haven't heard from you in a long time. Good to see the STI is still going strong!
If I had known I would have ordered a clutch as well then we could have split shipping.

Didn’t know you wanted to import should have told me. Sorry Dude
Hoping it arrives this week

nice, so will it hold turbo power too, you WILL go that route some time, I know it. 😉
Well Guys, I just got paid and now, I’m broke again.
It’s not a very good feeling dropping that much cash on a single item for your car but, I bought my SR20VE today.
Total costs: R6950 including delivery to my house
Well Guys
The swap has started.
just checking the diameter of the secondarys
Well Guys and Girls, My batterys are drained so today went very slowly.
Porting the DE branch for the VE, First thing. Im getting next month is a VE branch
TNT branch Vs VE branch
Took Docter G advice and secured the screw on the throttal body.
Thermal Spacer
Fitting DE distributor
Attaching Harness to VE. No need to cut any wires , DE harness fits
Fitting flywheel need to remove the automatic bush
Motor is ready to go in tommorow

Nice-going to be interesting to see the difference in power.
did you ever get a dyno of the DE with the cams ?
you should've tried the steak!
Its in and running!!!!
It started with no problems, Not a single wierd noise or anything.
It's a very basic straight forward swap, No need to cut a single wire.
Taking the car to work tommorow. Time for the acid test. 🙂
Looking good.
congrats dude... i've only ever heard good things about these motors, and...
i have never EVER seen a motor cleaner on the inside of the tappet cover than this one you got - NEVER! i couldnt believe when i saw those pics (i think it was in another thread somewhere).
i still cant believe it was that clean inside and sitting at an engine importer's place.

Looked long and hard for a good motor, the low down torque on this thing is amazing.
I’m looking at trying to get 170Whp (126Wkw) it should be possible, The motor push around 150 Whp (110Wkw) in my current trim.
nice, so where's the turbo? LOL
Switcher in

300ZX AFM
---------------
LOL, PFB, you just couldn't resist wrapping it in heat wrap hey?

It works what can, I say
My nice new Stainless steel branch will be wrapped aswell 🙂
Switcher
--------------
I’m actually a bit upset at myself, I installed the switcher for the cam’s first yesterday then took the car for a spin. It was amazing.
Putting your foot down at pull off would result in a wheel spin holding almost all the way to redline, 1st,2nd and 3rd where all very strong.
I used a mixture of map’s including some aspects of my DE map and the car was great.
N62 MAf
---------------
Drove the car around for about an hour stopped at the house then decided to install the N62 Maf, Compared to the stock SR20 MAf its night and day.
The stock maf has a 76mm Inlet dropping down to a 45mm inlet the tappers back the 76mm size, The N62 maf is a 80mm in size, Plus the SR20VE is fitted with a 80mm maf from the factory so anyway installed the maf updated the TP values in the map and the K constant car started first time.
Plugged in the wideband set the K value again and check the fuel maps, Pull out take a drive around the block and the power is GONE, The car doesn’t feel as strong as it was down low or up high. The AFR’s are in the correct range
It’s just strange that it’s done that, When, I fitted a 300ZX maf to the SX back in the day it was amazing car pulled very strong , But I think it’s a fuelling issue, I’m sure of it, just kind of ran out of time testing it ,waiting for my new exhaust manifold to arrive so, I can put the O2 sensor at the collector and not in the rear of the exhaust.
Also pulled timing to check and added timing to check but will keep the club posted to what, I find.
Anyway one of those thing
My impressions of the SR20VE
------------------------------------
Hopefully, I don’t need to put my flame suit on but, I tend to agree with allot of the statements made on other forums the SR20VE on stock cam’s fells the same high up as a mild cam’ed SR20DE but is doesn’t have the disadvantage low down of a cam’ed SR20DE . You have a mountain of low down torque and the ability to run through the rev range.
I can’t wait to fit the N1 cam’s then, I can have all the low down torque with all the high end power the 288 degree N1 offer.
