Serious questions, I know nothing about the VE engines. Admittedly I could google and learn though.

P.S. I have a BEAMS altezza engine and 6MT for sale.

the sr20ve runs a vtec style roller rocker head. Reason why turbo guys dont run them is because like you many people dont know anything about the engine, they are harder to source, modification is needed for rwd format etc. I do have back to back dyno's of the same set up of ve vs de with a turbo. Its running a twin scroll s362.

as player said the p12 cams are 280deg, the sr16ve's are 280 also and 11.1lift, the sr16ve n1's are 288deg 11.9 lift. Mazworx have proven what the engines with a 154 1/8th mph.

also in relations to hoonboys's set up. If your talking simple set ups i would go

sr20ve $1100
N1/184c/franklin cams $700
Intake plenum $500

$2300 and will make plenty more than that de mentioned.

Here is a vid of that set up, running n1 cams

1.9 60ft
12.9
105.7mph
