Has anyone ever seen this so called vg30. And what do you know about it it is new to me

 

is that an old 240 SX???? or whatever you call them.. it kinda looks like an old porche too... looks like a RWD car also

 

yeah and chck out the v63000 twin cam maks on the intake cover but what motor is this. It claim to be a vg30 but from where though

 

Actually, the 240 never offered a 6-cyl, it was those strange 200sx SE's they made from 1984-1988. I don't think they made a turbo for those...hmm...

 

The engine is a VG30DET

I think it's found in the Cima.

 

it looks like its in a 510 from the site. not sure what that VG came from...maybe some jdm car.

 

wonder what the power rating is on that is a twin cam vg

 

what site you get the pics off of?

 

hang on let me see if I can find it again

 

I think it is supposed to have 255 hp stock. I found a couple of places that show it as 255 hp, but it's probably somewhere in that range.


Wikipedia sucks. I looked up Nissan engines and it doesn't even include that one.

 

ok try this link it seems to be form the cima car

and this one
http://dimequarterly.tierranet.com/p.../eng_vg30.html

 

165 HP 175 TQ non turbo
200 HP 227 TQ turbo

 

where did you see that at . im seeing the na model to have 200 and the turbo model to have 255 I wonder where you could buy this engine at and how big is it? Is it as wide as the american vg30de

 

im tired, i thought i read that on that site...... but i guess not

looks to be an old datsun 510?

Its from the Cima http://www.terra2imports.ca/ab-slide...13114131357824

 

i've always heard 255 hp and 255 tq for the VG30DET. supposed to have better heads than the VG30DETT... the ports are larger at the very least.

my friend has one that he originally bought for a datuns 280Z but has different plans now.

 

I wonder how wide is the engine is it like the us version of the vg30de

 

mmm hp and torquy old engine..will someone get more info for this man

 

its basically the same minus the ports of the heads and the intake manifold. however... i swear when i was looking at the VG30DET and the VG30ET side by side, they were very close. i should have measured my friend's det while i was in indiana last week.

one nice thing i found about these engines is you can likely pick one up for much cheaper than a DETT... my friend bought his for 500, same price i payed for my engine (granted we both drove to georgia to pick them up from the same guy i've seen good deals like that on these engines.)

 

the old z31 300zx turbo didn't have vg30det ???

 

No. It has the VG30ET. The Z32 had the VG30DETT.

 

Its a VG30DET, from the Z31 300zx's. I know this because a freind has an 1985 300zx with that exact same engine in it as its stock..

 

Maybe it came like that Down Under, but in the states, that engine was never available in any car. The z31 only had a VG30ET.

 

Wherever it came from, it's sitting is a Bluebird 1800SSS... They were never avaliable in the states, so the engine's probably not from around here either. That's a sweet setup though... VG30DET in a coupe 510... that's almost better than an S20 in an original KPGC10.

Better meaning more desirable... Power is defiantely more... And that 510's probably lighter than the old GTR

Edit: TripleGmax, BackNblack... points to you two for saying it's a 510. It is, in a way, it's just a very special and desirable JDM 510

 

vg30de was only avaible in the z32(na) and the j30 in the states and the vg30det was never avaible in any model in the sates. The vg30et was in the z31 though as its only a single head cam and the vg30de is a dual over head cam and so for the vg30det

 

looks like my old 300zx lump (rip)

 

dam jdm gets all the good ones
