Interesting. If the manifold already comes with over-sized inlets then I suppose all you need to do to take full advantage of it is use the VE gasket.
I will be using either the 3-layer P12 gasket or the 7-layer X-trail one, which are similar to the multi-layer S15 gasket.
I noticed that the difference between them is not necessarily the size of the exhaust ports, but rather that the ports on the VE head are spaced slightly further apart.

As far as I am aware, port centerlines and spacing are identical to the DE and DET. The only thing that was changed was raising the ports in the head for the change in cooling passages and valve angle.

I believe I used the 7 layer exhaust manifold gasket, with which I checked intrusion into the ports and overall port ID to the head. All were well clear without massaging it.

Fitted the Autech header and it seems to match the VE gasket. Yay.

This is pretty cool. Seems putting the fwd engine in is easy so far, i'm just wondering about the starter. So the trans bolted up just by swapping the upper pan?

With the upper oil pan, all but the starter bolts and one or two transmission bolts on that side of the motor line up.
Both the FWD and RWD flywheel ring gears are the same size with the same amount of teeth, which makes things easier.

The VE starter has a nose cone, as do many of the FWD DE starters. They could still be used with a FWD flywheel mated to an 1988 Pulsar clutch. However, the FWD flywheel and clutch are only 215mm, so I am not sure how they would hold up for drifting. The bell housing would also need to be shaved to fit the nose of the starter.


However, some of the FWD motors came with this style of starter. It will clear even the RWD flywheel and does not require modding the transmission. I will bolt it directly to the dust shield instead of through the bell housing. It will be annoying to have to unbolt the transmission to remove the starter, but that will be the simplest way to mount it so far, unless I have the bell housing modded.


If people can mate Z32 and Z33 gearboxes to an SR, I can mate an RWD gearbox to a FWD motor.

This project is long sold, sorry gentlemen. I do still have the Autech header and a few other bits, if anybody wants anything.

In my opinion, it is still a better option to convert the entire engine to RWD instead of bothering with the extra headaches of swapping the head.

What did you have to do to bolt the motor mount brackets to the block? I keep coming back to this idea of an sr20de/ve with an s15 6sp for a fun daily.

Does the rwd flywheel bolt to the fwd crank?
