It just means a 2 liter SR series motor with VVL. Funny, there is a big ol' thread about SR20VEs on the SR20DE Forums right now. Alot of people are wondering why you would drop $2k for a VE, when you can get a DET for less. Sure the DET will ultimately have more power, but at the same time, it's a friggin' VE! :) Sam "I would pay $2000+ for a VE" Bass Largo, FL 98 SE-R with a few tricks
