Vg30 swap into s13

[Xxs13240xX]

Negative posts go away saying I shouldn't do the swap

Anywho my buddy got a wrecked z cheap and he said he'd sell me it for next to nothing so I figured you know what I have the vg why not use it my other buddy also has the vg to s13 mounts he's willing to sell me cheap also and I know I can do the rest but I'm just wondering most pros and cons about this swap just remember yes I know I could swap and sr in or and rb or turbo the ka but I want to be different and reliable which is why I'm sticking with a stock vg it'll have the power and reliability but anyways just looking to know some pros and cons and some things to look out for it's a vg30de n/a or if anyone has anymore info on this swap that'd be great

[PoorMans180SX]

Here are some reasons you should not do this:

1. They don't make that much power.

2. It's not that easy of a swap.

3. You're not being "different", just difficult.

4. VGDE's weight a lot. I would do an VG30E wayyyy before a DE.

[I<3Panda86]

VGs are heavy, hard to work on, make little power nomatter what you get E or DE, I say save your money and get a VQ

1 220hp and 200ft lbs is a decent amount of power stock it's gonna pretty much just be my DD

2. What makes it so hard of a swap?

3.it's not always easy being difficult also going back to step 2 which what makes it such a hard swap

4. How much does it weight compared to a stock kade

[sidewaysil80]

everybody is so concerned with being different nowadays they overlook what is practical for them. how much power do you want? ok, now is the cost of the vg and the amount of money needed to do the swap, fabricate parts, etc going to be that much less then it would be do a ka-t or an sr? hell or even an lsx depending on how much your after?

edit: we posted at the same time. just do a redtop it will probably be way cheapppper in the long run and net you the same amount of power. not to mention it's super straight forward and your not going to be dicking around trying to do the swap.

[Xxs13240xX]

I have my buddy who has the excessive mounts he already had the swap done he helped out another friend on it what all is there to fab? Everyone says it's so hard but why what all is needed to be custom made the mounts I already have the shifter relocation bracket I already have I know the driveshaft needs remade but what else is there

[Xxs13240xX]

That's the thing if I did a ka-t I've got what about 1500 in parts for the turbo setup another 300 for a tune and it requires much more maintenance and an sr I already have so why would I want another

Wiring.

It weighs about 200lbs more. Not including trans. No freakin' joke.

A Maxima VQ30 makes 220bhp and weighs exactly the same as a KA.

A Maxima VQ30 makes 220bhp and weighs exactly the same as a KA.

A maxima vq30 correct me if I'm wrong but that isn't a motor and I know that the VG30 300zx and maxima are practically the same yes I understand you can't use the maxima engine because of mount differences but 200lbs heavier really? What about an rb then?

[PoorMans180SX]

Yessir, you need to do a little research. VQ30DE. They make mounts for the FWD engine, or you can find the diagrams to make your own on engineswaptech.com. VQ's are awesome engines.

Yes, VGDE's are DOHC (big heads) and have a beefy iron block. Yes 200lbs. You're better off with a VH45DE.

[Xxs13240xX]

Wiring also is not a problem for me I have no trouble with it and I have no problem with taking a while on this remember guys I'm getting this entire z for like $250 engine runs good ad trans shifts fine one of the main reasons I'm doing it

[Xxs13240xX]

I didn't know about the vq 30 my bad thought there only was the vg30 and the vq35 don't really mess with the fwd but still yes I would be better off with this engine or that engine but this is what I have

[PoorMans180SX]

Sounds like you're pretty set on it. Good luck. Not my cup of tea.

[Xxs13240xX]

Like I said I'm just here to get some opinions on it any pics of it in a s chassis things like that

[Xxs13240xX]

Or i mean since everyone is saying this swap is so difficult anyone have a KA-T setup they're looking to sell? im still undecided just because I have alot of free time and my KA in my car is on its last legs and i'm getting this wrecked Z so cheap

[fufanu180]

It sounds like a whole bunch of work for such little pay off. In my opinion I would pull the motor out of the wrecked car that you are getting, sell it, make money off the sale and then go with a simple swap. Just my 2 cents.

[Mishkin_707]

Why not do it? Doubt it's heavier than a LS2, these people are complaining about how much work and money, did you people read he's not getting this swap at the prices you people would, everyone goes KA-T cause they can't afford an SR20 the vg is reliable, can get the parts fron your local parts store, sure the sr20 is OEM and can be reliable but these motors are older than time, something going to break and you'd have to buy used parts from someone you have no idea if it's on it's last leg it goes out and now your looking for the part again and spent double the money, if you need something on the quicks the sr20 is not a good choice because youd have to wait weeks to get your parts, going KA-T sure you can buy parts at the local parts store but maintaining it is costly too, can't really rely on it cause something is gonna blow, fall apart or spend double the amount for premium gasoline.

Now ca, rb motors are so praised, why? The money spent for these motors is ridiculous and I don't see the power for this money either, almost the same as the z motor if not less (be quiet people these motors are older than time) they won't make the horsepower claimed due to all the wear and tear, so your have to rebuild where you going to get parts from? Then have to waiting for shipping on these item to even start on doing something on the motor, don't see the difference in the amount of time and money spent installing these motors than the Z motor.

I say do it, you already have the source for this swap for cheap as he'll, already know what you have to to for it, so all the cash you saved buying the swap from your friend you can use on customer headers/exhaust and little things you'd need and still not pay the same amount that people buy Uninstalled motors for, they still need
Mounts, driveshaft, new basic parts such as alternator sometime new turbos rebuild kits.

People are going to talk crap no matter what, either because they can't afford it, know how to do it or just plain envy.

I say do it!

At least someone here isn't on the rb and sr band wagon and I'm getting ready to do it here in the next week or two when I get some free time

[Mishkin_707]

Don't let people get ya down bro, sorry for my long post up there, also sorry about the spelling on some parts of it stupid iPhone likes to correct the wrong shit.

[Slammed Assassin]

for my instance finally finished my vq swap and super happy with the results! can go wrong.

[rps13dn]

some of these people are talking out of their ass dont let them discourage you, from experience the vg30e is a strong under rated motor that put down massive amounts of power and if done correctly very responsive. FYI them imsa 240sx gtu ran a vg30e with triple weber carbs the vg30e(t) put nissan on the map

[Big_E-Dog]

^^+1 vg30 are tha shit, but a vg30de its like a bananna split without the toppings, either way youll be able to drop 500 hp on stock internals, and that na-t......oh shit.....

[babyjesus]

i loved my VG (91 300zx) it had more than enough power to have fun with. I personally, i wouldn't do the swap, i'd much rather waste less time and money on something else, but if you can afford your car being down for a while do it.

Just like any motor they need maintnance, and parts are a lil more costly (if not the same) as parts for a KA.....some things i should worn you about, that i experienced with my VG, during climate changes I would experience fuel leaks. Because these motors have an awkwardly shaped plenum, vacuum lines and fuel lines run about every which way you could think of, and when the temp changes the hoses shrivel or expand acording to weather and cause potential leaks.....simple solution- keep an eye on it and tighten/replace things when needed.....also, if you're not fluent with oil changes ( like any car) you may experience mild to aggressive "lifter tick" (when your lifters build up and stick)...solution- regular oil changes, sea foam (i never tried this, but people say it works) or an oil flush treatment ( i did this, used "gunk oil treatment" and the ticking went away)



as far as upgrades to the NA more there's not much, some people run pop-chargers (intake kit) and jim wolf tune to free up some power but ultimately there's not much room for improvement. Contrary to popular belief, turboing the NA motor isn't practical at all. VG30de's have relatively high compression and are prone to blow under high boost....in short, if you're okay with not making much power over what stock has to offer GO FOR IT!

all in all, I had very good experiences with my VG, loved it to death while i had it and often miss my z

[SxMachine]

Wheres this swap at already...
btw the s12 xmem bolts into the s13.

[Hoonsunlimited]

Also curious on your swap prgress, as I am also doing this swap + TT into a 180sx.

Did you know that you can use your original gearbox etc... just swap bellhousing over??
This will cut some costs down..

I am also get NISTUNE done to my ecu as the Type 1 board currently sitting in my CA18DET also suits the VG30e ecu... Cheap tuning..

I have looked around various other forums and seen alot of info on these engines compared to the DE version..
One major difference being that the original VG30e had 13!! bolts per head!! whereas the DE version uses 8.
There are reports of people running 25Psi on stock internals and making over 500Hp.. AND did i mention the 9000Rpm rev limit???

I definatly say go for it and I will let you know how I go as well...

[Wake]

it's not always easy being difficult

/thread......... srsly

[Xxs13240xX]

Well I sold my other 240 so everything was on a halt since I was dsilying it but I went out and bought another daily so now I'm finishing getting everything together I have the mounts the engine is on a stand checking everything out on it and right now I'm at no money for this swap I bought this wrecked z for cheap and sold parts off of it and got the engine for free which is why I'm doing this swap... In this week I plan on new timing chain water pump oil pump changing out the injectors some new gaskets then get my ka out will let you guys know when I start the build thread

[qx56tz31zx]

vg30e stock is 160hp btw. and thas a lot in a 240. ka is what 128 sr 160 turbo'd. the sr and vg and ka are all light. i just got my s13 shell today got just the engine laid in there and with my passetter headers it hits. so i removed them. with my pathy intake it clears the hood im start fabing up motor mounts 2morrow. its a full build up. i have cash n parts let yall know how it goes. the firewall needs be bashed very little n i removed the (threading cap n all power steering lines) on rear of rack.. ill post pics. if wnted. i have the rb20 tranny already in the car with drive shaft going to my vg30e. i might turbo if my 280hp N/A is not enouph already. my motor is 6-7 inches lower than other vg swaps iv seen?? dnt kno why.

[FusionR240sx]

a vg30de weighs about 550lbs. why the hell would you use that piece of junk. you have to pull the plenum just to change plugs. idk why you would even want that motor. want one? i got one sitting in my driveway. they're garbage.

[jrocslider]

let him do it. he'll regret it.

because i wanna be different is such a retarded reason. do what you want we are just telling you that it is stupid, heavier, in the end more as much as an sr or ka-t, and again stupid. those motors blow ballsack.

[Xxs13240xX]

First of all I don't care what you guys think I have almost nothing into the swap it's going to be 10 times more reliable then a ka-t and an sr it has 220hp stock and a stock ka weighs around 480 without a turbo kit the vg sits further back and lower so I don't care haters are gonna hate until the car is done i want to be different with my car not jump on the sr or rb bandwagon what's the big deal I'm doing the swap regardless I simply posted up to talk to people who have done it or who are interested in a different swap at most I'm gonna have around $500 into the swap including a 1 piece aluminum driveshaft if I don't like the swap whatever I'll pull it and sell it so like I said all you haters can hate IDGAF now jump off my thread

[Shadowninja]

Ok I got this vg30de motor and I would like to put it in my s13... Could anyone tell me what is need to make this work...

[jdm213]

just do it and post a build thread and prove us wrong it may be interesting .....!!! just do it

[Butcher240sx]

Pull the plentnum to change plugs on vg? Never had to do that on the 4 cars I had with vg. A local shop here built a vg33ett for a s13. Pathfinder engine with z31 turbo parts. My 85 z ran like a beast on 16psi. On an engine with 300k miles. The vget can be had for $300 locally and sits almost behind the engine mouns in s13. The dual cam vgde is a pain to work on. But its a great engine. Do whatca like.

single cam and twin cam VG's have very different plenum designs.

[Butcher240sx]

.Yeah I know. I've had 2 J30 and 2 Z32 also had 3 Z31. Never pulled the plentnum on either. Just used long extensions.

[qx56tz31zx]

any one still following this thread ive made a lot of head way. in the past 2 weeks. got 97 pathfinder 2wd oil pan bolted on and the vg engine bolted right in. im talkn nothn custom. used ka aftermarket solid tranny mount. rb motor mounts lowered engine dwn 2 inches. shifter in perfect placement. stock ka. drive shaft works. but i have a rb tranny with vg bell housing. i havnt found a oil pick up tube yet. might just add 4" of pipe on mine and c whats shes made of.
the motor is 4" away from fire wall!

shell-300
roll cage-300
camshafts -200
50 shot-200
vg30e motor tranny ecu harness 400.00
oil pan 10.00

glad i went with a vg!

[PoorMans180SX]

Nice! Glad you got a sohc!

[NoPistons!]

I'm pumped on this thread. Well, the good stuff anyway. The hater crap is weak. Smells like ignorance. Just ignore that shit. Vg30e isn't the most balling engine ever but they go hard and are cheap to obtain, build and service. They love boost. If i wasn't going ka for a while i'd make it a priority to get mine installed but i had to sell the turbo i got for it to get my s13 road worthy.

VGs are heavy, hard to work on, make little power nomatter what you get E or DE, I say save your money and get a VQ

Use your iphone for google before posting next time.

Vg30 rods are good for up to 700hp. Pistons have held 500. Shut up with your weaksauce soda can motor bullshit. VQ swap is a waste of money. Sure it's lighter but for the money, i wouldn't waste my time. VG30 is stronger.

Also, you can find them in pathfinders, z31, maxima, quest mini van, xterra......lots and lots and lots of vg's everyfuckingwhere.

Fuck that dohc shit though. Run oversized valves and port the heads if you want more flow. Mine is sitting in my basement awaiting either my friend wanting to push funds to get the machine work done for his maxima or me finishing it to drop in my 240. Have vg30et ecu and top feed injectors. Shiiiiiiit. And i'm damn sure going to grab an s12 crossmember knowing they bolt up. The question is, will stock z mounts work with that leaving the tranny mount alone?

[Xxs13240xX]

If anyone is still reading this thread I want you all to know that the swap is near complete engine is all checked over and good to go taking it off the engine stand whenever I get some free time bolting up the tranny and then going to pull out the good ole ka clean up and spray the engine bay and drop it in should be done hopefully by Saturday

[Xxs13240xX]

Build thread coming soon then one big single turbo /brn rubber

[Future_gohan]

Oh shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii


Im doing this swap FYI, and...its an awesome possum.

[thevert]

i would like to see this build completed. i have a deal on a vg but not sure if i want to go through with it, cant wait to see this!

[Walperstyle]

...everyone goes KA-T cause they can't afford an SR20

Besides your run-on sentence, that statement is funny. I'm $5000 into my KA-T without turbo, ecu and fuel system yet. lol. Yeah...cant afford a SR.

but If I exceed $9000, I'm going to kill myself for not doing LS.

[NoPistons!]

SR20's are as cheap as any other motor. Dont ship it to your door on a pallet and they're plenty cheap. Second hand sr or "i can't finish my build" sr for $1k-ish all day. About the cost of a solid na-t ka with supporting mods and a fresh clutch. I swear, some people are retarded.

Can't wait to see how epic 300sx is. I wish i could jump on mine but priorities have it back burnered until next year at the earliest. Omg the fucking TORQUE. No ugly v8 noises either.....

the dohc is not hard to work on, esp once stripped like this is. I've never worked on the sohc but there is a much larger parts selection etc with the dohc.

[qx56tz31zx]

so my pathy oil pan was awsome but warped. so it had go... got maxima one in there now. couldnt find a good pathy one but it would have been sweet. wouldnt have to touch the hood. owell. with the front sump and sitting in there far back as possible my shifter is 3inches forward then it should be. but my tranny is also lot shorter than stock. some wiring, intake, exhuast, seat mounts, and ll post a vid. for all whom it may concern. not sure if i want to do a flat radiator. or use stock. for now prolly stock.

[NoPistons!]

You talkin' to me?


Ofcourse not. I love those motors.

[sexcii-zenki]

First of all I don't care what you guys think I have almost nothing into the swap it's going to be 10 times more reliable then a ka-t and an sr it has 220hp stock and a stock ka weighs around 480 without a turbo kit the vg sits further back and lower so I don't care haters are gonna hate until the car is done i want to be different with my car not jump on the sr or rb bandwagon what's the big deal I'm doing the swap regardless I simply posted up to talk to people who have done it or who are interested in a different swap at most I'm gonna have around $500 into the swap including a 1 piece aluminum driveshaft if I don't like the swap whatever I'll pull it and sell it so like I said all you haters can hate IDGAF now jump off my thread



lol...imo ur rite different, good power plant, parts readily available @any local auto parts...good luck i def wana see the end results im pretty sure ull b happy with it...

[NoPistons!]

Hmm. Thread died off. Engine blow. RIPPERS REQUIRED!

Picked up a pathfinder a few weeks ago. Love the thing.

I have one question, one useful fact.


Question: Does the single cam and dual cam lower plenum runners line up? Bolt holes? The biggest fuck up the ass when it comes to the dual cam is the intake manifold. You can get around it being wider than the E but damn that manifold.

Fact: S12 200sx vg30 cross member bolts RIGHT IN to s13/14.


LS1, GTFO.

[irax]

different heads so I would assume that it wouldn't.

also keep that fact to your self, its a vq35de swap secret.... wooops LOL!

[northstarninja]

I just found this thread... Why is every one hating on the vg30et? It's a pretty awesome motor, one that was in the Gtp Zx-turbo which made upwards of 1000HP and did exceptionally well in imsa gt.

The vg has way more potential than a sr. And more tq. True sr's are a nice easy first swap, and good for a stock swap, but in the long run the vg wins out. And you don't have to sleeve the block for +500HP.

I'm considering this swap as well. The motors currently in an S12, but I want to put it in my s13. I'll even have an S12 crossmember...

[PoorMans180SX]

Yeah I'm considering the old SOHC hammer as well...

[NoPistons!]

different heads so I would assume that it wouldn't.

also keep that fact to your self, its a vq35de swap secret.... wooops LOL!

I have no idea what you are talking about, bro.

[qx56tz31zx]

yo what happen to this thread there was 4 or 5 of us? is mine the only one missing a v clamp from running. i have had hell getin a 3.5" v clamp. i bought one off ebay they sent me a 4". it didnt work. then i ordered a 3" because i thought the hx had a 3 out put but i ordered with a 3.5" but they come 3 or 4 what ever you want. so i get the 3 and its to small. then i notice the first flange was 4 not 3.5. but i used it all in the long run for my exhaust. and NAPA is charging 10.00 a port for my exhaust flanges and i had 4 out the junk yard for dollar or 2. this swap was easy i used the rb wireing guide. and my haynes book. it was easy and i used the ka lower harness with ka oil and manual oil pressure guage. maxima oil pan. i really wanted to go top mount but it stuck out the hood a little bit. did not want to cut it. but i may latter. still got clean up the swap this month really like see some other 500whp vg30e sohc 240's. total cost was 9k. still missing roll cage and seats and spoiler then i be good go hit some high way exits again. any one runs that big one for 80.00 off ebay? will it break in pieces? i still got my z31 with full z32 chassis. wait a year or so probly drop a qx56de in her. turbo oooooo yeaaaaaaaaahhhhh

ps: its all bout the work you put in you enjoy riding around in your art work who wants a 480hp sr20 tops 10 grand build or buy. with the same motor and body kit. ka are pos. when you can spend thousands and build your own. if you go to junk yard and floor the car till it blows it wont be no sr or ka. trust me. i have faith a vg30e could be around the top ones to last..

ps my car is roller painted sail blue for 10 bucks me and my home boy spent 2 days on it.

[sexcii-zenki]

i 4got about this thread...u should post up pix mayb ull get more hits u only put up 1 in 3pages lol

[NoPistons!]

I didn't.

Haz:

Vg30 from maxima (full motor with cut harness pulled myself)

vg30 from z 31 (non turbo)

Front sump and rear sump pan. Hopefully dont have to mod more than i need to put flapper doors in to prevent starvation.

71c 240sx gearbox (putting new bearings, seals and syncros in)

71b (or 71a....i forget) bellhousing

6 puck

Junk intercooler and single turbo stuff

Waiting on:

Engine rebuild kit
resurfaced/used/lightweight flywheel
z31 turbo (later model) starter (dont think ka one works)
Plugs/wires
diy auto tune dizzy trigger wheel
diy auto tune msII
Diy auto tune log cable/ecu harness cable
255lb/hr hp pump
1:1 afpr
rx7 injectorzzzzz
piping/hose for radiator, intercooler, downpipe

Engine/tranny being fitted in bay as soon as i'm done with tubing the front end. However long it takes to get to that..... Stay tuned. Wont bolt right in but i'm going to mod the z mounts to make it work and just use stock tranny mount location. STILL sits further back than rb.

For the sake of being a cheap son of a bitch, i'm mounting the stock ka 240sx power steering pump on the drivers side of the engine. Factory location is passenger side. Turbo is being mounted on the passenger side of the engine due to wanting to keep intercooler piping short and not wanting to buy a "real" intercooler.

Had to bash the lip on the firewall to hell to get the 300zx intake to fit with stock 240sx tranny mount in stock location. It will go no further back without cutting.

Tranny IS bolted in pics. stock crossmember. Stock maxi oil pan (may be subject to change. WIll try to get engine lower). HOPEFULLY stock z engine mounts. I haven't test fit those yet. Should be a fun little ride once all is said and done.

Made more sense to do THIS first THEN tube the front end. Lol.

I say do it man it's all about what you like. I put one in my 510 and yeah is not a 240 but I was happy with the power it has.

It wasn't easy by any means..... In hindsight i would have been better off with a straight 6 but over the years i have grown to love these bbm (big beautiful motor) sluts.
