how do i find if i got a single overhead or a dual overhead cam in my 92 maxima gxe vg30e?

 

VG30E is SOHC.

 

with Nissans no D in the engine code means its SOHC. RB20DE, SR20DE, etc are all twin cam. VG30E, KA24E, etc are single cam

 

Sticky: Is my car a VG or VE?



Should exist..

 

Its a VG

 

30e

 

Distributor - VG single overhead cam.

Coil packs (no dizzy) - VE double overhead cam.

FYI: Breakdown of engine designation.

VG30E, VG30ET, VE30DE, VQ35DE

Example: (VQ35DE)
V - Engine configuration (V6)
Q - Engine design/generation/series
35 - Engine size (3.5 liters)
D - Dual Overhead cam
E - Electronic ignition

As stated, without the D, its a SOHC engine.

 

Rb26dett

 

Is this a game now!? LOL!! You're just trying to confuse the boy, Dan!!

 

half of the noobs do think putting a RB26 in a 3rd gen takes less than a weekend

 

errr..both?

wait...what do you mean?? it takes more than 1 weekend?

 

i can do it in 10 hours. S13 rear subframe bolts right up, drill a hole in the gas tank for the driveshaft, thats it

 

Even if you didn't really know! If most of you owners would buy a freakin maintenance manual and read it you would learn much more!
