Well, that describsion of the engine you just gave means that the motor is already turbo’d. i.e. VG30DET. The “T” stands for turbo. Just clearing that up, cause I saw that in a different post as well. ---

Yeah what SRBURG13 is right. **Almost** anything is possible with time and money but IMO if you wanted to twin turbo a VG30DET you’d be far better off just buying a second gen 300zx (Z32) VG30DETT engine, then you would trying to upgrade the VG30DET to a VG30DETT. ---

Jon’s got an infiniti w/ the VG30DE in it… I think he’s asking if he can upgrade to a turbo setup? ---

Why yes i was, thanks chris I thought it was VG30DET and then the extra T meant the twin turbo in the Z32 since they didn’t come with single, Silly newbie {aka me} 😛 thanks guys, but anyone knows how much it would cost…?! –ThE EdGe ---

More than it’s probably worth IMO. You could probably do the VG30DET setup from a later model year Z31 (I believe some of the later years came DET not just ET). I think a VG30DETT clip is worth ~$5000? ---

84-89 Z31 came with VG30ET Single cam ,single turbo 90-96 Z32 came with VQ30DETT Dual cam, Twin Turbo There was some Nissan car in japan that did come with a VQ30DET but i forget which. ---

All Z32’s either came with the V **G** 30DE or V **G** 30DETT from their first date of production in 1989 until they came out of production in recent years. The 350Z I believe uses a VQ? I’m not up to date on that machine though. The Z31 was only ever SOCH from my research there, so I was wrong w/ the VG30DET as there is just the VG30ET from Z31’s in North America. VG30DET was availble in the Laurel I believe. I just looked it up and have forgotten already, oh well. ---

The VG20 is a V6 still. I’ve never heard of there being a V4 in any car. ---
