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 :)

[Phlip]

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.

[tricky_ab]

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

[jp69]

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 :)

[Lockiess15]

[Matej]

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?

[jr_ss]

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 >_<

[Om1kron]

I said a goddamn!

[jr_ss]

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 >_<

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?

Sent from my XT910 using Tapatalk 2

[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:

Are you running VE/VET pistons in your bottom end? If not, you do know that you cannot run anything more than P11 cams on the factory DET pistons right? The VE pistons(factory and aftermarket) have valve reliefs in them and the CP's for the DET's do not, limiting you to the lower lift/duration of the first gen heads. I'd hate to see you tap a valve.

[Yellow4g63]

Lockiess15 do you have any shots of the shifter position with the RB25 gear box?

[Lockiess15]

I'm not the engine builder but they've built these motors several times now and this is the first I've heard of that one. Cams that are in the head are the ones listed in the spec sheet. I've only got the one photo of that sorry.

Photo of exhaust/wastegate piping now finished too

Finished

[Lockiess15]

For peace of mind I've asked them about it, but I don't think I need to worry about anything. I trust they know what they're doing but yes, will see what they say.

I'll text tomorrow after work if it's not to late.

Eh wrong topic? Lol

[c0nc0n]

Mint, a fellow Wellingtonian with a nice S15 to match.

Were there any significant difficulties bolting a P11 head to the block?

[Lockiess15]

I'm not from Wellington :D. Buying the kit and everything else you need is the easy/cheap part, it's bolting the bugger and making it all work is the hard/expensive part but I've left that all up to Shred to do. I won't know details on machining work they've done to make it work until I have all the reciepts

And popping this here :)

[bc.]

look at how nice it is to not have a steering column in the way :P jealous.

[Lockiess15]

I'm guessing you mean how the steering wheel is on the "right" side ;)

[jr_ss]

I'm guessing you mean how the steering wheel is on the "right" side ;)

In your case it would be the "right" side, we never had the privilege of the S15, so there is technically no "left" side...

[Lockiess15]

Oh I see, how come and what country is that in? It's sort of like Supra's in New Zealand, they're very very un common here but you'll find Silvias and Skylines everywhere

[Lockiess15]

A fellow New Zealander would back me up also, but also speaking of Skylines this country is highly in to their RB motors here. Most places you'll go you'll have someone young shout "R Fucking B" or "Get an RB!" at you lol

[jr_ss]

Oh I see, how come and what country is that in? It's sort of like Supra's in New Zealand, they're very very un common here but you'll find Silvias and Skylines everywhere

The U.S., they stopped sending us the S-chassis after the S14a.

[Lockiess15]

Lack of sales or something?

[jr_ss]

Lack of sales or something?

Yes. I believe there were less than 10k S14a's sold between 97-98. 95 models sold the most with slightly over 25k then it fell off hard. Had we gotten the turbo model, I believe those numbers would've been drastically different throughout all years. However, we were stuck with a "truck" motor.

[Lockiess15]

The SR20[diddle engine]DE lol?

[EsChassisLove]

Nice! I've been dying for a VVL swap on my GTX3076 SR20.

[Yellow4g63]

The SR20[diddle engine]DE lol?

no the KA24DE was the only motor we got in the S14.

[Lockiess15]

Aren't they suppose to have better potential then SR20DET's though? Here we don't really see people building them so I don't know a heck of a lot about them.

And yeah, the first idea was just to have a forged block, 272 cams and have it tuned with a big laggy GTX35. Then when I was asking around places I eventually got speaking to Aaron at Shred Motorsport and he started talking to me about the SR20VE's which at the time I knew nothing to very little about. Then well...the rest has turned in to this build from that moment on :D

They both have their pro's and con's. One benefit of the KA, it has cam on bucket, so no rocker arms to fly.

[rbs14kouki]

And thats why we all went ve !!! Not to see our rockers fly all over the place :p

[jr_ss]

And thats why we all went ve !!! Not to see our rockers fly all over the place :p

Exactly...

[Lockiess15]

What are ports and cam sizes like in comparison?

[aga]

the VVL head flows about 60% more than the det head

[Lockiess15]

I mean against a KA24 stock vs stock :)

[oni jake]

The best part about this build is the A/C compressor

[Lockiess15]

Hmm well few people are surprised I'm still running A/C, you're not alone on that one lol

[rbs14kouki]

im missing something here .... how come you only have 1 feed line coming out of the head to go to your solenoide block ???

i have 3 on my set-up

http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa74/rbs14kouki/Sr20vet%20built/image-17.jpg (http://s202.photobucket.com/user/rbs14kouki/media/Sr20vet%20built/image-17.jpg.html)

and a quick question ... i started a built thread to for my vvl swap s14 , but its not on the board yet ! how long was it for you to get the ok from a Mod. ???

[jr_ss]

He may be running a P12 solenoid, which activates both intake and exhaust cams at the same time. He also is lacking the bleed back line, which from my understanding isn't really needed, because the oil pressure can bleed off through the rockers, it'll just take a sec or two longer for his high lobes to deactivate. So, with all that said he doesn't need 3 lines.

[rbs14kouki]

Ahhhh ... now that your talking about that ! i remember reading about that bleed line not needed!

[Lockiess15]

Exhaust also doesn't have the VVL lobes either. I still don't fully understand why, but yeah it was brought that way and I haven't been told it's a bad thing

[rbs14kouki]

Now its starting to make sence .... you have a vet head and not a ve

The vet comes without the exhaust vvl . If you wana convert your exhaust side you need to buy : P11 Primera exhaust rocker arms and a set of cams of your choice !

[rbs14kouki]

Kemp (SRT8E180) did the same on is 180sx !

Vet head , p12 cams , P11 Primera exhaust rocker arms , and the list goea on !!!!

[Lockiess15]

It's a P11 VE head with custom camshafts with VVL delete on the exhaust camshaft. That's according to both Shred Motorsport [who are building the motor] and E&H Motorsport [where I purchased the head from]

[Lockiess15]

Front strut brace
Front sway bar- 27mm (solid) 3 point adjustable
Rear sway bar- 24mm (solid) adjustable
Surge tank set up
Radiator- Koyo s15 ‘N-flow’ double pass radiator
ATI damper
Genuine Tomei sump
Front caster arms
Rear camber arms
Rear toe arms
Subframe lock collars

These are are on their way, but there's a six week wait for the sump. Hopefully if the rest of the gear shows up quite quickly they can continue the work on the car with what they have.

[tricky_ab]

Holy crap! Now THAT'S a proper update! :) That fuel setup looks mint!

[jr_ss]

Just a heads up Locki, if those lines in your trunk aren't PTFE(Teflon) lined, they are going to permeate fuel smell throughout the car. I found that out with my blue fuel hose and have bought everything needed to convert mine over to PTFE lines. It's a PITA but I don't want to smell fuel the entire time driving.

[IIIXziuR]

The fuel lines setup looks excellent.
Good work, sir. This machine is a class act.

[Lockiess15]

I'm well aware that you may get fuel fumes from the boot or let alone a loud fuel pump noise, cheers though for the heads up :)

I'm hoping wiring is done by next week. Really wanting this back before end of the year!

What oil adapter is that?

Sweet build, keep the updates coming!!

[Lockiess15]

The filter relocation kit came with the car when I brought it, so wouldn't know sorry. And cheers :). I'm hoping to have it back home before Christmas but I don't think it'll happen.

[Lockiess15]

Old [left] vs new [right] oil cooler fittings. Huge difference in not just the shape but also how much better the oil will be flowing through the new ones in comparison

[Ramonesfreak2010]

I plan on running A/C with my VET as well. Great work!

[Lockiess15]

I still don't know why people are so surprised that I'm running A/C lol

[Ramonesfreak2010]

Because racecar! Lol

Are those stock accessory pullies? If so, can i get the part numbers on the belts??

[Lockiess15]

Yes every pully except crank is factory but I don't have the car on me, it's two hours away sitting in the shop sorry :(

[Lockiess15]

Good god, this is basically the exact build I want to do.

[Lockiess15]

:D A lot of people have said the same on different forums

[Drifting Kalamari]

Sexy, sexy, sexy!!! Just Amazing!

[Lockiess15]

Thankyou :)

[Lockiess15]

Hasn't come up too badly for a home job. Intake manifold getting polished more though as some spots didn't come up the way I would have liked

[tricky_ab]

Looking great my man! You're getting closer and closer to firing this thing up!

[Lockiess15]

It may or may not be delayed this week though as they're making a final valve to piston clearance just to be a 100% certain. If it doesn't clear the head has to come off for a headgasket change. Fingers crossed it clears :)

[juvi22003]

fuel lines setup so clean, good work keep it up....

I love that such an awesome race car build still has A/C.
"I wanna go fast, but I want to be comfortable."

[Lockiess15]

What if I told you it's still going to be street legal ;). But yes I do plan on taking it to my local track on track days. They don't hold them all the time, but every month or two is okay with me :)

[Asuka]

You're my hero. This is absolutely my favorite build thread of all time. 12/10 will read over and over.

[Lockiess15]

Thanks man :). It's come a long way from being a standard S15 with just bolt ons [factory turbo and ECU purely exhaust and front mount] to this :D

[Lockiess15]

Just to show bit of the difference a bit easier when they're side by side

That's what I like to hear, and hopefully there's going to be a video too ;)

[EsChassisLove]

I just want to touch it.

[Lockiess15]

No body touches the hair :L

[ferrariowner123]

Two questions.

Why does your fuel rail have three fittings on it? its the middle one feed and the other two are returns?

Also, what is that, down by the inter-cooler, holding the oil lines? could you post where you bought it, looks really handy to keep the lines really clean...

Sweet ride by the way, cant wait too see this beautiful machine back together and running!

-Kyle

[Lockiess15]

On the fuel lines I believe so yes. Regards to the oil lines Shred have been in charge of buying any part which wasn't supplied to them so I can't answer that one sorry

In terms of running, it was suppose to be yesterday and again today but nothing :(

[jasmine]

That blue is gorgeous! The bay looks hella clean!

[Lockiess15]

Cheers man :). I aim to have the whole shell that shiney :L

[Dima1127]

However it's not complete as I pulled the car out, what's left to do:

Catch tank, tune, replace brake pads, skim rotors, brake bleed, bolt radiator shroud back in, connect a/c hoses back in, buy and fit suspension pieces, widen rear guards, buy and fit new wide tires followed lastly with a paint job. And THEN finally get her road going.

I'll get a video of it running once I can borrow my friends camera. I'm broke atm and also need to fill it up with some more coolant so have to wait on that too

[cbcm2435]

if it doesnt get cold where you are just run straight distilled water, it cools better than a antifreeze water mix, and it is a lot cheaper

[Lockiess15]

It's very hot here atm so I'm playing it safe and buying the coolant recommended :)

[Lockiess15]

Got my camera back, pic time!

Nice wish I was at that stage. Have fun learning your car.

[Kuma]

Really nice car, love that blue. I've never seen a brake master cylinder etc set up that looks like that. guess that solves the heat problem from the top mount?

[Lockiess15]

What you mean? It's right hand drive :P

[Lockiess15]

New rocker cover paint, shroud back in finally and gave the car I wash while I was at it. Small update, but will hopefully have my catch can and intake pipe back on this week and then it's tune ready :D [when I have the $ lol]

Hi man) i do not see, that oil pump do you use there?
ps. nice build)))

[Lockiess15]

Using a SR20VE oil pump as they're able to flow at a much greater rate then the SR20DET ones. Cheers man :)

[koha]

Using a SR20VE oil pump as they're able to flow at a much greater rate then the SR20DET ones. Cheers man :)

as i know, it's 5mm higher, so how you get yours pulleys inline?

[jr_ss]

You mill 5mm off the crank pulley and use a spacer.

SR20VET results on my S15: 428hp/[email protected] and 500hp/[email protected] Reving to 8,000rpm which doesn't drop off, full 24psi by 4,500rpm


http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm77/BlueDragoon0/P1010134.jpg (http://s293.photobucket.com/user/BlueDragoon0/media/P1010134.jpg.html)

[LeeRod]

Nice power curve and congrats on the numbers. Is this tune on pump gas ?

[speedingmofa]

How come you barely have any torque till 4000rpm? Isn't the VVL system supposed to give u loads of low end torque as well?

After 4000rpm, power comes on brutally though!

[Lockiess15]

It's on 98 octane. I think with the torque it has something to do with there not being any VVL on the exhaust side as well as the cams being quite advanced rather then retarded? I'm no expert but I've been told if I retard the timing more it'll help bring up the torque and spool more down low but I'll lose it up higher

[jr_ss]

Can you post a better picture of the dyno graph? You cut off the power curve. Interested to see, as I have the same turbo but VVL on both lobes. I'm hoping for 500 on pump, more on race.

[Lockiess15]

Well this has been a long ass time from any last updates, it's still not much but it's something. Got my BC Golds in and mounted gear lever surrounds [no more giant hole!]. Have almost got $$ for the rest of my suspension bits and pieces so shouldn't be too far away with next update long as I get off my ass and install them right away lol

That's quite the parts update :)

[EsChassisLove]

I like you more now that you bought CUSCO suspension.

Finally someone who knows some tried and true suspension components.

[Lockiess15]

Oh they better be as bloody good as I'm thinking they are, sure costed me enough! I'd also never just "stop" with the build, far too in to it to do so. Once that's all done there'll be another gap where I've stopped for a while as panel&paint is next

[EsChassisLove]

Mine have been going on 10 years now. Besides surface scuffs from removal and install a bunch, they're still perfect.

You won't be disappointed with them.

[Lockiess15]

That's good news then. In NZ we have to have a certification plate for a number of vehicle modifications to state that it's modified in a safe manner. With things like that if you try cheap out [E.G purchase knock off items], you'll find yourself not being able to get a certification as majority of the knock off items aren't safe enough to use

[Lockiess15]

Was a productive day for being so hungover today. Front is all in and finished, while the rear is tomorrows mission. While I was at it I polished up the front mount and piping as they had become filthy from sitting around

The oil filter?

[BOOSTALOT]

And here I'm thinking I'm cool with the cams I just received for my gay det head..should of gone VVL :facepalm:
But great build man your shop does some very good work, Subscribed!

^did this guy just post his own parts in someone else's build thread?

Awesome progress bud!

[JesusFreakDrifter]

GOOD LORD...The things money can do...im loving the build

[Lockiess15]

They're an expensive conversion but the gains you achieve even on a stock VE head is far greater then a DET head can ever hope to match.

Anyway today finished up with installing the rear and had camber set to as positive as possible from the eye. Just now needing a proper wheel alignment in future when I get around to doing so

[Lockiess15]

Good evening folks, well as it's probably quite obvious I don't get on the internet much anymore (don't own my own PC, currently using my brothers laptop to even write this) and the other fact is I haven't had anything to update on...until now

Recently got my S15 in to the panel shop finally, went in yesterday to check up on and progress and to my delight saw they've been getting in to it. What you see here is inner wheel arches on both sides are now raised 40mm, and both rear guards are pulled 20-25mm outwards. There's still around a further 4mm to go yet but regards to the panel work involved, the guard work side is mostly done which is the biggest job.

Enough of my ranting, it's photo time!

[Counteract]

Wow, this is amazing!

I love the VVL conversion, it looks like a factory-fit job too. I like the fact you're keeping the standard rear arches too, best way on S15s imo!

What skirts are those? What else do you have planned for the exterior other than paint refresh?

[tricky_ab]

Oh man, I almost forgot about this build...

Nice to see that you're still working on this thing!

[Lockiess15]

Skirts are Orgin Labo, front bumper is Vertex and factory rear bumper but I've got custom end caps to go on yet

Other then guards and kit, I've got a Dmax boot spoiler to go on, getting it de badged (keeping the Spec R badges) and having both the boot lock and ariel shaven off, some holes in the engine bay filled and part of the sills straightened back [one end is just slightly bent obviously from a jack]

@tricky ab: It's been a VERY long time since I've been able to have an update, I lost a lot of motivation just seeing it sitting but thankfully I've got progress to share once again

[brndck]

definitely an awesome build! gives me motivation to work on MY heap!!!

[Bleakley]

I went through this a long time ago, and now just went back through briskly..

I can't seem to find any specs on the hot side that you went with?

[Lockiess15]

Hot side is a custom Sinco high mount manifold with a GTX3076r

Specs on the turbine housing?

[Lockiess15]

.63AR which is in fact too small for this setup

[Bleakley]

.63AR which is in fact too small for this setup
The power and the spool looks pretty nice though... Full boost by 4500 is better than others...

Thanks for getting back to me. I'm in the middle of research and feedback for my setup.. Looking at the different turbine options for the gtx3076r and the results of those running em.

[Lockiess15]

If I had a choice to buy turbo options again I'd honestly go with a 35 series bare minimum

30's seem to be too small for a SR20VET

[Ramonesfreak2010]

I'm running a GTX3582R on my VE setup. :D We need some videos of this beast.

[Lockiess15]

I need to buy a Go Pro to record footage when it's on the road and driving fully

[Lockiess15]

UPDATE:

Purchased a pair of 60mm gauges as a late Christmas gift to the S15. Oil pressure and fuel/air ratio, should help to monitor things

S15's also been coming along at the panel shop, guards both sides are now widened to compensate for my 265's

Windows are booked to be removed on Tuesday in preparation for a full exterior respray and kit along with boot lock and aeral shave is under way.

Kit should be on by Thursday/Friday next week.

Same here! And this is quite the update!

[Lockiess15]

Will be staying blue, yes :)

If all goes to plan though I think it'll be painted by next week, having to get loops done while it's primed but with this shit ass rain, it makes it hard to transport the car without any windows, panels etc. Not wanting an interior getting a bit wet

[Lockiess15]

Small update in that the driveshaft hoops were sorted Friday, just have to wait for the car to be transported back to the paint store. Fingers crossed it's not raining all day long

perfect color choice for s15. I'm a huge fan of Nissan blues though.

It's the factory color the car was manufactured in, does look great though ;)

The paint store took some photos themselves but unfortunately yet to have them emailed. Be better then my phone potato pictures

No big update just yet, but all the interior is back in and all of the exterior minus front bumper, FMIC and IC piping are on

Spent the weekend cleaning out ten months of dust in my engine bay and re polished the FMIC, intake manifold and my IC piping ready to go on

Good to see another top notch VE build in NZ, there's definitely a few here now.Shit I never even saw this, have you got a SR20VET build in NZ on the go yourself?

With the car since it's been a while now, I thought I'd let everyone know that yes the car is still an on going project, it's not legal just yet and I'm still waiting on those overnight parts from Japan to show up

I've just been wanting to tidy her up a little bit so ordered brand new OEM front inner plastics, brand new OEM steering wheel, Z Racing spiked steel wheel nuts and just replaced my front door cards with mint condition items just yesterday

[Reece]

Goes to show that a car can be at a practical ride height and still look good.

Keep it up!

[Lockiess15]

Oh yes it's still quite practical, I'm not at all going to lower her any further :)

A PCV wouldn't stop oil vapor from being inhaled. The PCV stops boost from entering and pressurizing the crankcase.

Been a while since I last updated, as of last week the car became 100% legal which I drove down country (a two hour drive) to my tuner for a road tune. Road tune was thankfully a success and been driving the car hard for the last couple of nights now, 2nd at a roll will powerslide to the left a bit but 3rd and onwards foot flat just grips dead straight on me. There is a issue that my starter when hot just doesn't quite get enough voltage to start though so when money is available I just have to take it in and get bigger wires hooked up

Looking forward to seeing what numbers she puts out on the dyno. I assume you're wraithdeath on youtube? I recognised the engine bay.

Been a while now that I last updated

End of last year I brought a set of genuine 52mm AEM gauges in boost, oil pressure and air/fuel ratio that I was going to have installed but end of 2016 and beginning of this year has seen its share of teething issues I've had with the car

Starting from a cracked front bumper and a cracked boot spoiler, to a couple of new oil leaks, a problem with my CAS hitting the firewall etc but it's all since fixed as of around a month and a half to two months ago

Ended up entering a big New Zealand car show called 4&Rotary where I took out best power output in the Tough Street class with a few shots of the car here

I'm hoping to change things up with the engine in a years time with what I've been saving so far unless plans change and I wind up spending the money on more "important things"

Cheers man, plan is it "go big" ��

Not much has changed with the car but finally purchased a set of genuine wheels being Work Emotion D9R's, and got around to getting my set of AEM digital display gauges in my air vents. Entering its first track event start of next month*

Just saw your entire build, what A/R are you using on the turbo? looks like a Single / Open scroll manifold too? T3 or T4? suuuper nice car.

Hmm well that's a pain :(

A/R is .63 on a T3 in and V-band exh
