S15 Spec R VVL kicked in YO

[Lockiess15]

Hi all, been a member of the forum for a little while now but have barely been active on the forum. As I've been building up a SR20VET for my S15 as you'll see below you in the information/pictures, I thought it was about time I start my own build topic seeing as I haven't yet!

Hope you enjoy

SR20VE inlet ports



SR20DET inlet ports [yes I realise they're standard]



"Baby" turbo [GTX3076R]




Skyline RB25DET gearbox with adaptor plate etc



Dummy fitting





Engine bay getting ready for paint:

What blue is that?

[jr_ss]

Have the trans bolted up? You could see some issues when you do with that P12 CAS. I had to remove mine in my S14 and go with the Mazworx pickup because I didn't have room between the CAS and bulkhead.

I'm down for a SR20VET build! I'll be following this one for sure...

[fliprayzin240sx]

Ooooh...looks like you forgot to notch the transmission tunnel. You're probably gonna have to beat the tunnel out to make space for the RB25 transmission.

[Lockiess15]

They've already smashed the tunnel out a little bit according to them to allow the gearbox to fit before it had been painted. As for the CAS, I'm not sure on the whole thing but they've told me they're not running it. I believe they're putting a hall effect system on it or something but whatever they do I've told it won't have a CAS on it...

It's the standard S15 blue, just been painted again as pictures show. It's not as dark in person as you see in the pictures. It's a little bit brighter when you actually see it as the pictures are taken at night time

[conrad_s13.5]

Hellz yeah
makes me excite!

[Lockiess15]

Little bit of a update, gearbox mated to engine now and currently being trial fitted in to the car with engine

Nice motor

[Lockiess15]

Thankyou

[tricky_ab]

Looking good! When do you think you'll have the swap completed?

[Lockiess15]

On a rough guess, within a month. But probably a good two as the team are full on doing other big and small builds as well at the moment.

[GetSydWys]

oooof! this is tooo too clean lol.. awesome build Sir !

[Lockiess15]

Thanks man .

I know at the moment downpipe/wastegate pipe currently underway, wiring doesn't have much to go [unless I didn't understand what my tuner said properly? Lol] and intake manifold is on it's way back after final fitment tweaks

[Toomuchboost12]

Beautiful i love the Color . Plan on Doing this Exact Build in my S14

[Lockiess15]

Thanks man. They're definitely better motors to build from then an sr20det and the best thing going with these is that you're not adding extra weight that an RB/JZ/V8 would

What is that giant box on the right with the lines coming out of it? It seems that you would have more room if you could remove it or at least relocate it. Is it for ABS brakes or something?

That is the ABS controller.

[Lockiess15]

As mentioned, it's the ABS unit . It's why I couldn't go with a 60mm wastegate and had to end up using a 44mm instead >_<

I said a goddamn!

Smaller wastegates control exhaust gases better. 60mm would've been completely overkill for the turbo you are running.

[tricky_ab]

Are you planning to heat treat that downpipe?

[Jack Bauer S14]

Damn this is pretty good man!! From which car did the engine came from?

[Lockiess15]

They thought it might boost creep just a tiny bit which is why they were going to run a 60mm to start with it, but that's a might. Downpipe is going to be heat wrapped and so goes for any rubber hoses that's next to anything hot. They're also either heat wrapping the abs or putting a heat shield around it.

Head is out of a P11 Primera and the block is just the S15 sr20det block

[jr_ss]

You're running factory cams right?

[Rico180]

Where did you buy that kit to do the vet conversion??? I love the way your doing with the build.

[Lockiess15]

Custom cams. I believe the relocation block is a mazworx item and then how they've bolted the solenoids on the side there is completely custom

[Lockiess15]

Not a huge update, but other parts to my exhaust/wastegate piping:
