btw good luck finding one for anywhere near a responable price.

and why, you can just turbo your current engine and produce way more power then that thing.

anything is possible with enough money, and patience.

I think the vq30det was setup for rwd or awd which means you would have to either find a way to make it fwd or make your max rwd or awd which would be awesome!

Probably not the most economical mod you could do.

how about getting a super charger or turbo setup for your existing engine. I bet you could swap out the internals of the det if you wanted to and you could create your very own vq30det

buy the motor and sell the parts on here, you'll make all the money back plus some LOL

If you buy the motor you have to strip your current engine to block, and use the bottom end internals, then you can either use the heads from that engine or your engine, but I would use your IM.

As a side note some guys will sell there turbo kits used with all the manifolds and such made already. But you need to gather the parts and find a real performance shop that can build custom setups if your not gonna do it.

those heads should be the same as you current engine, so your current LIM should bolt up and then of course you can use the UIM. the exhaust manifolds should also fit, the bolt patterns should all be the same.


and expect this thread to be locked.

Well, I suggest taking some time and looking at the turbo/supercharged section, a number of different setups can be found in there and you can get some ideas on all the details to doing all of that, a number of guys have done the exact setup you have described.
