VG30DETT

[do0ke]

I was going to consider swapping a VG30DETT into my 90' fastback with the custom engine. What you think about this?

[DSC]

Will it physically fit?  That is a damn big engine!  
If it fits, awsome, its an great motor...

[do0ke]

Wont fit, thats why i would have it get it custom. 1k for the motor, 1k for the rest.

it has been dun...not cheaply but dun....look into spending glops of cash &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Just a thousand for the motor? Isnt that a little cheap, or are they just a lot cheaper than SR's?

It sounds pretty cheap to me, but then again, they don't have to be imported like SR's do...

Yeah thats what I was thinking, but still.....$1,000. Im sceptical.

$200 for a KA with no tranny.
$1000 for a VG30DETT with the harness and electronics, and tranny.... it's possible, but being more of a "famous" model, not as likely.

Ussually when a VG30DETT is even close to being sold for near $1000 the turbos are ussually sold sepratley. It will fit, cause it's been done before, but it will cost a shit load of money to do it.

sorry if im being a bit stupid.. but...
which car is this vg30dett came from?

[S13CRAVE]

it came out of the 300zx twin turbo

[aqwkmf]

vg30dett = 300hp 90-95 300zx motor= loads of fun
problem: if the timing belt breaks ur f%#$^. make sure u know ur getting a good motor. notice my sig....my z was "dead" <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/whatsthat.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':whatthe:'>

again...just 2 reiliterate

[blaqsilvia]

so does that mean I could go and rip a 1992 300zx twin turbo motor out with the tranny and swap it into my car current 95 240? if that is possible- forget the sr20det... zx engine will give me all the power i need! &nbsp; <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> &nbsp;-those zx are fast as hell.....

It'll throw off your wieght distribution.

[whateverjames]

someone's done this swap and they said due to the engine being shorter and having mosts of the engine behind the front axle, it did not throw off the balance of the car noticeably.

if it did, it would still be better than a camaro i'd imagine!

[camppain]

it will be a big pita!

nissan charges 6 hours for the replacement of one injector.
and parts are expensive.

I would like to thank do0ke for bringing this up. &nbsp;This is an amazing idea. &nbsp;I was considering the SR for a while, and just the KA-T, but this seems to be a little more logical. &nbsp;A twin turbo 300hp Z engine would be one hell of a swap. &nbsp;But as far as I know, the Z's have a wider engine bay and they are crammed as it is. &nbsp;How much further could you go with performance mods in just a compacted area?

[Kreator]

My guess would be that for a price of a VG30DETT swap you'll be able to turbo your KA (or run SRDET) with 350++ hp.... anyone can confirm?

[misnomer]

I do recall a post earlier from some emails with a shop that has done this swap. They said the engine could bolt in OK on the the OEM motor mounts, though some custom ones would fit better. The 240sx has a bit roomier engine bay, longer than that of the Z. Also mentioned in the email that a shorter driveshaft was needed, as was a custom hood to give the engine clearance.
