VQ30DE Turbo Kit from Nissan Cima

I was looking for some parts on ebay when I cam across this used turbo kit for sale. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Turbo...spagenameZWDVW

Not sure if everything will work on our cars, but I just thought someone might be interested and want to check it out.

I don't think this will work since the crossover pipe crosses over the bell housing where the starter is on the FWD VQ30DE. The RWD VQ30DE has the starter on the other side. Please someone correct me if I'm mistaken.

That's VQ30DET piping which we've already determined won't work. The manifolds, with minor work, can be useful however.

Yes, actually. About a year ago I coordinated the effort for some members to get parts from him and it was like half that price.

exactly my thoughts - you could probably buy the parts from nissan cheaper. They don't even look special. I thought for sure there would be a turbo involved.

From what I can see in the diagrams, you would have a heck of a time adapting that to the FWD engine; you would need RWD coolant pipe plumbing and other misc parts for it to be a bolt-on affair.
