Im looking for a vq30det motor..could you guys help me find one hopefully i wouldnt have to import one..thanks

 

oh yea..i have a 92 max..i was wondering if it was any way possible to do the engine swap..

 

ebay

 

why go trhough the trouble of trying to buy, ship and install the DET when you can just turbo your VE?? CR might be lower on the DET, but I don't see the worth in it. I can pretty much garuntee getting custom pipes fabbed, buying a turbo and fitting it to your VE and using a piggy back fuel setup would cost MUCH less than importing a DET, getting the ECU factors worked out, rearranging stuff in your engine bay and all the other things that go along with "uncommon" engine swaps. just my $.02...and besides a VQ turbo kit should be pretty "easy" to retrofit to a VE from what I've seen, just some different bends here and there.

 

det's aren't all they are cracked up to be, you are better off money and performance wise to either build yours or a VQ30DE for that matter -

if you are set on a det still, talk to tilley. he had one (until it blew up) , they do have some convenient things such as the exhaust manifold (which he still uses) - i forget who he got it from and could be wrong but i believe he waited ~9months for it ?

 

if anyhting I'd say that would be the optimal thing to just try and source a DET exhaust manifold setup and see if they fit on the VE block. but of course you have to make sure the ports match on the DET manifold and VE head...but what are the chances of even finding a manifold anyways if the motor is super hard to come by.... *voices in the air* just turbo the VE...VE...VE*voices in the air*

 

he still has it

 

Yea look at a couple of these links i found for you
