hello all im am uber new to the site and wanted to ask i have a 1993 se wiht the vg30e enging what can i do to get the horse power up to a reasonable amount have been looking for turbos or a supercharger but have no luck in locating one for this application is such a animal exist. plz help thanks...

Stuck in a non-boost world...

 

look in third gen forum. You can use a 300zx turbo manifold I think. Have to remove one of the radiator fans. There is one running like 25 lbs of boost.

 

there's a 3rd gen running 25 psi??

i did the vg30et swap. you can check it out at http://members.cardomain.com/mtcookson

 

92-94 SEs have the VE30DE though....?

 

His name is quake, he used to post on www.turbomaxima.com I think he posts on nissanforums.com also.

 

holy ****! i never heard of him before. started reading some stuff on turbomaxima.com about him. guess i have some catching up to do

 

He is on stock internals, I think he is running 300zx ecu, or jwt ecu, not sure. I think he is running bigger injectors also, not sure what size though.

 

Yea, Quake lives in RI with me. I have seen that thing in action/racing before. Damn that thing is crazy. It looks so good with his front mount and the stillen lip. He says he has around 440 hp i think. Well, at least last time i talked to him.

 

so he says...I know he's turbo'd but his numbers and figures seem very inflated. eveytime I ask him about the particulars of his setup he shys away...no doubt he's boosted but his numbers seem VERY outlandish

Yes, his numbers do seem quite inflated (i think his numbers were 380, not 440 like i said), especially for a SOHC motor. But man if you saw this thing take off in person. I am not sure if you have, but its impressive. As for him knowing/talking about his setup, I dont think he does any of the work to the car himself. I have no proof, but the way he was unwilling to talk to me, or was unable to give any details at all reminded me of someone who just drives the car, and can spit out numbers like "380hp" and "25psi".

 

still, those are remarkable numbers for a third gen. i wonder what kind of stuff he did to his tranny to handle that kind of power. you would think the input shaft bearing would turn to dust with that kind of power without some sort of help.
