Hello,
This is something I have been curious about.
I know putting the SR20VE head on an RWD block requires tapping the head for the VVL feed line and swapping the oil pump and cover, which in turn necessitates a crank pulley spacer and a modded oil strainer, among other such tidbits.
To my understanding, most if not all of this is done to supply sufficient oil feed/pressure for the VVL system.

What I have been trying to find out is, which of those steps could be omitted if the solenoids and any removable part of the VVL system gets deleted?
What mods to the block/head would still be required to just run the head without the VVL?

I know that may sound blasphemous to many, especially since the VVL is a big part of the SR20VE, but it would still be great to take advantage of the better-flowing head, plus one would not have to deal with relocating, wiring, and activating the solenoids.

Is this even feasible?

Zilvia really needs a dedicated RWD SR20VE thread.
