...... um dude, he posted cam specs in post #1. if you can't tell how many valves are in an engine by looking at cam specs... you shouldn't say "I'm assuming"

you must be stupid. hondas have 3 lobes like every other lift controlled engine out there... but we have 2 valves. Learn ur shit b4 u make urself look stupid. the nissan motor may have 5 valves per cylinder. who knows
serious man, if you haven't figured out by now that the there's a primary, secondary and vtec lobe and that dohc vtec engines are 4 valves per cylinder, then you have no place posting in this forum.
2 vavles for intake moron. and dohc cams having 4 valves is another stupid statement to make. I dont know if this still applies but going back maybe 5-6 years ago, i did a head on a yamaha. 5 valves per cyl, dohc. 3 intakes 2 exhaust
and what does 3 lobes on a cam have anything to do with what my question was??
like i said b4... do ur research b4 u make urself look stupid
um, there's two camshafts, so actually, there's an intake and exhaust cam.
both have three lobes per camshaft, and there's two cams per cylinder. that is why it is called double overhead cam. 2 intake valves, 2 exhaust valves...

and your post didn't ASK a question.
Engines with variable lift have 2 intake valves because there isn't space to locate a high lift camlobe if you require 3 low lift lobes to drive the 3 intake valves.Quote:

Since the Nissan engine in question is a VVL, then it would be 4 valve.
Even Ferrari, who used 5 valves per cylinder in the F355 has gone back to 4 valves in the F430 because they are using variable lift in it.
of course aaronng knows whats going on.. atleast he has a clue
yes the yamaha didnt have variable lift because ur right.. space would b very tight indeed. Now that i know for sure the Nissan has 4 valves, u couldnt run low and high at the same time because they all run the same intake valves. Meaning once the high cam is engaged the low cams dont do anything at all.
Im glad u know whats going on dude, unlike the other guy
he told you in a nice way to stfu silver_screen.
I don't care who started this fight, but the both of you better pipe down, otherwise I'll lock this thread to cool things down.
Yourfather, stop egging him on.
An SR20VET is actually a lot like a B16A VTEC engine but 2 litres and with factory boost. NEO VVL is Nissan version of VTEC.Quote:

I have a GT30 on my X-Trail which has a SR20VET motor from factory and it spools hard below 3000rpm without a problem.
hahah yer GT30s on sr's rock :) He can stir all he wants dude. end of the day i know my shit because i have to and he can only guess and get it wrong anywayz hahah :)
GT42R.. thats rather large for a tiny motor im gonna run one of those on my rotor :) or maybe 2 :D
Whats a stock SR20VET make??? im expecting it make more than the DET... as much as the GTiR one thou?
u know what... tell me everything about this engine :)
On 6psi(ECU controleld boost), the SR20VET makes 206Kw(280PS or 276HP) stock@flywheel at 6400rpm, using a GT28. More importantly, it makes 309Nm of torque@3200rpm! The VET motor has 9.1:1 compression stock. It is horribly detuned from the factory as well, as it is mated to a 4 speed CVT 4WD transmission.
GTiR needs 10.5psi to make less than 180Kw@flwywheel and only 8.3:1 compression stock.
The only problem with the SR20VET engine is that they are as rare as hens teeth. Last time on sold in America, it was around US$10,000...
My X-Trail GT is pumping out 254Kw@all four wheels so these motors do have a lot of potential. The low lobe actually allows the VET motor to spool up much bigger turbos. Here is some X-Trail GT footage:

Notice in drive it does the 0~100Km/h sprint in under 6 seconds and that is STOCK!
Had bandwidth problems with the project cars video, will get it fixed soon or just upload one of the newer videos.
