I was considering it myself, but the biggest hangup I had was custom exhaust manifold would have to be made (the exhaust ports are huge on the VE head, requiring a different manifold), as well as a custom intake manifold, as the VE's will face backwards. You also have to run a oil feed to the head a-la LS/VTEC style. For more information you're better off just emailing mazworx. The basic breakdown of what you need to do for the swap is:
Standalone ECU (required for hall-effect sensor) I know the AEM EMS, and Haltech E8 can do this, Power FC's can't
Hall-effect sensor mod (mazworx can explain this better)
Oil feed/blockoff
Exhaust manifold
Intake manifold
Depending on the turbo you're running, you'd be better off using a SR20VE head on a smaller turbo, and a SR16VE head if running a larger. There is more overlap in the 16VE, as well as more lift, or if running a big ass turbo, you could use the N1 cams in either motor.
Supertech valve springs for the DE don't work in the VE, but from what I've gathered, H22A valve springs will work.
Thats about all I know really.
