Im going to do a sr20VE-T (neo vvl) project in my 1600 galant soon, just getting all my info in order ,
cam wise please give some details (gains or losses) whether its Turbo or N/A, what you or your friends felt when you installed in the sr16 cams in the sr20ve? and what bolt ons they probably had,
I have been checking out the other site about this but would like to find out from someone that has actually done it locally , I know there are plenty ''experimenter''s in Trini also so sont hide info, we are all here to learn ^^
heard you can gain around 15-20 hp on a non turbo engine depending on your mods

ps: please no VVL vs VTC arguments

stay with stock cams,but what other parts u using
might wanna look into these:
GTiR pistons/rods
555cc injectors(555 cc injs are good for 360 WHP at 3 Bar 44 PSI)
Stock ECU w/E-manage ultimate
MSD 8969
8cw crank
jgy manifold
now all that ive posted here i quoted a guy who has done this and has experience with the VE-T
or u can search on forums like

i think the only way you would know exactly the hp gains or losses is to dyno the engine stock...and then with the 16 cams......

I ended up with 2 pairs of sr16 cams recently, my fault though, i will keep a set for when i go a bigger turbo though, will need the eyebrow/notch the pistons for them to work though
Plenty sr20forum guys got around 14hp by just dropping them in their vvl but I havent seen what gains the VE-T (turbo) guys got from it though,
saw that the sr16ve and sr20ve vvl heads are the same, just the cams are different,
if anyone here is interested in a pair check me.

I ordered the cams from G spec and thought it wasnt coming again, got fed up and got a local set to buy, then me partner tell meh the cams way i order reach

anyway
with these you will make more power just dropping them in a bone stock sr20ve , then you can add on extra things like a Good header, cold air intake system, bigger exhaust, upgraded ecu for a slightly higher rev, which is better but pricey.These will make the perfect Combination.
If you go N1 cams you will have to do thing like:
-change the stock sr20ve Pistons or else you will bend valves
-you will need stronger springs and retainers because these make power at higher rpms than the regluar 16ve cams
-get a ecu to allow your engine to rev higher, this will work good for both cams but its need for n1's,
most people wouldnt bother spending money ordering upgraded n/a ecu anyway.
here are some ''sr16ve cams on a sr20ve'' threads i searched

Where you getting this info from?????
Nothing I've researched shows this as being absolutely necessary for an N/A build.
Titanium Springs and retainers are needed if you looking to rev over the stock limit. The stock springs and retainers supposed to be safe up to around 8600 rpms.
Stock pistons are ok as well.
Not knocking you or anything just looking to see what your sources are as I'm planning to go down the same road. More info can't hurt.

OH MY GOD mazworx is on Trinituner ? Mark is that you ?
I know you guys use that in the S15 motor , but does the s14 has a ve head also btw?
Whats going on with the S15 man? , last run i saw was with the car primed because it hit and you all own Puerto Rican car , that run was maddddd!!!
I always look for updates on the S15 , I hope to see you all better your best ET with it hopefully, I could imagine what it will take to do so ,
Have you all get a chance to run on an excellent condition track because you car always seem to be swaying all over the place lol
