My SR20VET...

[600supersport]

my setup seems to be quite close to yours jr...with less clean details mind you, but the basics are quite similar....I'm still debating the VE(t) head swap. It seems quite early in your driving of this setup process (if much at all, idk), but other than the more reliable valve-train and higher potential for big power, I know it's not a stroker kit, but did the VE give u noticeable gains early in your powerband or is it all gonna translate to more top end...not that a bunch more top end is a bad thing lol.

Thanks man! How's your ride doing? I'm still fighting to get this thing on the road.

Well, unfortunately I cannot give you my first hand experience with any differences in spool and power delivery, as I have still not had it tuned. I'm currently trying to figure out a MAP issue and it looks like I've narrowed it down to a faulty sensor, but I'm not 100% on that. I'll speak with a Haltech tech tomorrow about my findings. If I do, I'll get one shipped right away and hope for the best.

Another problem is, I've forgotten what it was like to drive a BPU'd SR vs my built SR. My BPU'd SR was fast but over 6years ago. The built setup was faster, but again, it's been some time. The comparison would be a bit muddled as I'm past the 4year mark of this thing being down. Hopefully in the next month I will have this driving, atleast to shake out the bugs.

I'll be getting the harness bar in asap now that I know my issue doesn't lie in the ECU harness.

No problem, well deserved. I'm happy to see this kind of work. Mine is still running quite well actually. I'm still running ~20psi on that 20G and the same top/bottom end and it's holding up great. Seems strange that it's lasted this long actually; lol. 2yrs and counting; can you believe it's been that long?

It's crazy that it's been two years already. I believe we started our builds around the same time and here I am, still putting the final pieces into place.
