I have a 93 gxe with the vg30e in it. I was wondering if yall knew what kind of jdm motor I cac put in it. I was hoping to put the VG30DTT in it will that work?
or what motors will and what the specs on those motor Just need some help!

 

VGDETT is to wide, but you could do a VG30ET and add a second turbo somewhere....

Other idea is to go 4 banger turbo from a Silvia or get a skyline motor....that'd require mount fabricating and possibly a different tranny, but would definitely be unique.

Realistically the easiest would be the VGET and just relocate the turbo, uprgrade the turbo to a larger unit...piping...whatnot...

This has been hashed out many many times....check the stickies above in the forum...

What kind of horsepower does the vget shell out And what is a good price for that jdm motor

 

Talk to mark cookson MTCOOKSON is his org-name he'll probably post on this subject, he did the swap, i think he used an american VG30ET out of a single turbo 300zx, but i could be mistaken.

Specs should be similar, i believe he was thinking about getting 200+ out of it more toward 220 with the stock turbo, but might not be there yet?

Thats about all i know about that at the moment, since i have the VE motor.

Later,

yeah, vg30et is your best bet for a swap since the blocks are identical. i used the jdm vg30et which i believe came out of the gloria. its supposed to have euro cams which add 10 hp more over the 300zx engine for a total of about 215. torque should be around the 240 ft. lb. range.

i took mine to get it dynoed but had trouble keeping the intake pipe on since i turned the boost up a little bit. my friends and i thought we saw the computer read 210 at one point which isn't too bad. the most i've seen out of one of these engines was about 500 rwhp on a 300zx so these things have a lot of potential.
