SR20VET from a JDM X-trail would be a better choice. Still gonna have to buggerise around changing the orientation. Personally I don't think its worth the effort. Going to have to make a custom intake manifold and try to clear the CAS on the firewall (the CAS is setup like a GTiR... like all FWD SRs). Then in the end if you break something you'll have to wait months for parts from japan because there certainly are very limited parts available locally. And you need to use the ECU that comes with the VE motors otherwise the VVL wont be shifted at all. Then if you go aftermarket you're going to have to try and program the VVL.
After all that you could have spent the time and money putting pistons, rods, mlhg, ecu, arp studs all through, camshafts, turbo and manifolds on a redtop and had an instant 300kw+
