Awhile back people have been wondering how the stock sr20ve plenum can be flipped and welded... Well, i finally found someone who's done it:
No, it won't any beauty contests, but it seems to work and is making almost 500hp.
I thought the ports lined up like shit, but it seems to work for him!
About the cams, can someone break down what are the pros/cons (strength low/mid/top range) of each OEM cam (20ve, 16ve, N1, 20V and 20VET)?
I found this info awhile ago by Coheed, not sure if anyone's verified his claims:
"I've had good luck with the SR20VET cams. They have a strong powerband that starts to level out around 6500rpm or so, and holds pretty flat to redline. I made 440whp on 24psi with a log manifold and VET cams.
If you are running a log, don't use the stock cams. VET cams are your friend.
If you are tubular and want power under 8500rpm, look at SR20VE cams.
If you are tubular and want power up to 9500rpm or so, pick SR16VE cams.
Use N1 cams for crazy builds utilizing GT4294R+ turbos and 10,000rpm+ powerbands.
The 20V cams I would expect to fall in somewhere in the SR16VE area, and be good for top end power. But I would expect them to make a lot more mid-range than the SR16VE cams."
