i am considering all my options for building my engine next summer. i am look at custom turbo and supercharge setups, but i am also interested in a high compression n/a build. i plan to do a manual swap w/ ACT 6-puck clutch and Fidanza flywheel, JWT Stage 2 cams and JWT ECU. i am going to rebuild the engine regardless because it has 168k miles.

does anybody sell oversized, higher compression pistons for the VG30? link, if possible, please. has anybody done a VG30 with a .30 or .40 head decking?

and how much power would that setup get me: ACT clutch, Fidanza flywheel, JWT ECU, JWT Stage 2 cams, higher compression pistons (say, 10:1), overbore .30 or .40, P&P 2g intake manifold, P&P milled/decked .40 heads??

 

anybody?

 

its been a long while since i have looked at VG's but arent the maxima and 300zx internals pretty much the same? im willing to bet the 300zx has a ton of support.

 

yeah the Z31 engine is the same. the Z32 engine is also called VG30(DETT) but i dont know if the internally the same. good point, that...

 

Look in the 3rd gen stickies, theres a lot of info on 3.3L and 3.4L VG's.

The VGDE is a VG, its just pretty much all different compared to the SOHC. As in no you won't be swapping heads blocks etc. I do know the rods and pistons will work but thats it.

The most cost effective way is turboing. Theres lots of guys pushing lots of HP on fully stock VG's. They are strong but the biggest thing is tuning.

You REALLY need to search. Its been covered to death.
