Well find a better chassis…

The b14 is a POS, not worth doing a VE swap in. Will still be a heavy slow turd

Seriously, sell both, buy something worth doing anything too.

Seriously not worth it… Smarten up. Keep it as a stock daily and enjoy it then. Sell POS Geo save and buy something worth doing work to.

Not going to add any real value to the car, your looking at around a grand maybe more for the swap regardless if you do it yourself…

What year is the car?

Wouldent be much quicker…

And if you used a VE ECu you wouldent be able to pass an OBDII inspection… You’d have to get a piggyback for the stock ECU to make the VE Work…

Otherwise you just have a shitty running SR20

One more time for fun… Any swap/mod in that car… well both your cars, is extremely pointless and a waste of moeny, and in the end you’ll be dissapointed and pissed because you wasted your money.

Justin-

My 2 cents…

Go your own route, sr20ve is a cool engine for sure. Cheapest route is probably to save up and buy a finished car. Sell one of your cars and hook up a finished car. I have seen multiple ve’d b13 and b14 even p11 chassis on [sr20deforum.com](http://sr20deforum.com) for like 4k and under…

Andreas Miko down in FL used to source those engines all the time, not sure if he still does i?? Good luck.

both of those cars are really shitty platforms as the aftermarket performance wise is pretty scarce and because of that generaly more exspensive. SR20VE swap in a B14 chassis is just a waste IMO

But I agree with archie 100% when he said buy something finished.
