hey everyone i just wanted to know if it was possible to put a 90-94 3oozx twin turbo engine into my 01 maxima. i know there the same engines except for the turbos but i heard it was a direct fit and i need to keep my maxima tranny and just change the bell housing is this possible?(to do the swap)

No .

y not there both 3.0's there the same engines why cant this work? just wanna know

Not the same engine..., nor the same configuration. Waaaaaaay off.

Not all 3.0L's are the same... ..

explain plz?

You could get a turbo kit instead

300zx: VG30DETT
Maxima: VQ30DE
Not the same engine

300zx: rear wheel drive
Maxima: front wheel drive
Different engine layouts

Twin turboZ y0!

turbo my 5th gen sounds very pricey i could get the zx engine for 1100 and the rear wheel drive has to do with the tranny which i will be using my maximas

different engine = different block = different tranny bolt pattern = no go

You have no clue you're talking about.

The engine wont mate up to the tranny since the configuraion for the engine is RWD and your tranny is FWD.

ZX ENGINE WONT FIT!

Larrio...

Turbo'ing your current engine will cost way less than trying to get the VG to work in your car.

where do i find a turbo for the 5th gen?

Someone just lock this thread already.

On this forum 300zx is Z32 and there is no such thing as a 3ooZX

Post pics when you're done with the conversion please.

IBTL....... har..

sure you can. do it. i put vtec on my maxima.

Where in Clifton are you?

by montclair on valley road im gonna do it and laugh at everyone when i do

putting a turbo on you vq will show better gains with the same amount of boost anyway. the only problem is that you have high compression while the vg30deTT was built with lower compression in order to handle the boost better.

im gonna try it out ill check with the dealership i have heard its possible and when i have the only one i will be "MAXIMA KING" lol

plus i got no clue where to get a turbo for the 01 maxima

actually, mardi will still be faster, along with a bunch of other people

Satan called, checked in and said that Hell is still burning hot

lol@dealer knowing more than maxima.org community - why not trade your maxima in for a maxima gtr. ask your dealer for more info on date of release.

Cool. I'm on the other side by ihop. If you see a Red S2000 or a Silver 02 with front clear corners, wave!

aluminum VQ > iron block VG

You are ignoring the reasons that we're telling you.

ok watch when i swap it ill make sure i take pics and show u guys

not really sure why he posted this question, must have thought we would think its a cool idea.

For BOOST?? Can I get a recount?

SCC fully built VG30DETT: 5xx hp (Mike Kojima) - Jan. 2003 and a porky 3600 lbs
rods, pistons, crankshaft, cams, valvetrain, turbos, etc
24 psi and C16 race gas

stock internals VQ30 turbo: 5xx hp (Hal), 4xx hp (Mardi) and a easy 3000-3100 lbs
pump gas (?), less than 20 psi

less weight, short stroke, stout engine
VQ > VG

This should pertain to the A33 as well.

unfortunately for you im pretty sure that the top fuel guys use aluminum heads and possibly aluminum blocks, im guessing you mean better for more that 45psi of boost?

I heard many things are possible... but not many things are feasible.

The last place on earth I'd trust with advice like this is a dealership, but go for it since you seem to know better than anyone else here in the advanced performance forum. Remember who posted the thread asking the question to begin with.

And this thread is still open because.......??

Why wouldn't this thread still be open? I hear it's a true bolt on, which then of course earns you the title "Maxima King".

I'm holding my breath with anticipation...

jesus kid, if you can't find the right forum.................

Its open because the mods are currently looking for threads to create a sticky in the General Discussion Forum titled "Quick examples to what will get j00 banned"

For example this thread,

mistake #1- Why are you asking a redundant question that's been asked repeatedly in the past with the same response? that it cannot be done. Did somebody not attempt do do his homework? VG=VQ?

mistake #2- Why are you asking about a VG30DETT swap on the ALL MOTOR forum??

Please prove us wrong Lord Maxima King !!!! Long live teh n00b, I mean the King!




ok Im done flaming
