QUOTE: looking at prices for VG30DETT

hey guys im just wondering how much a vg30dett would cost

cheaper than an sr

around 1500

Cheaper initally yes but about 5 grand more in the long run…

yea to convert to single turbo + fmic + manifolds + downpipe

id do it still

i wonder how hard it would be to work on tho

900x easier than it is to work on in a z32

I used Subaru Forester mounts to start from and just welded to them. The welds are ugly but they seem strong enough.

best off ipmorting a VG30DET, not a tt, single turbo already. Came in the nissan leopard and a few others.

I belive the pics above use the DET’s intake.

But like i say, if you want to do the swap, import a VG30DET from japan.

thanks alot guys, this info is good stuff, do all vg swaps require to move the brake master cylinder over towards the driver ? some people seem to do it for some reason, but not in these pics

Thats a Single Plenum Single TB Intake Manifold from a VQ35 no?

VG’s never had Single Plenum Single TB Intake Manifolds…

It’s a VG30 just a gay fwd vg out of like a 95-98 max.
