WTB VG30DETT

@jschrauwen

Well not so good news when the plenum was pulled to replace solid and rubber coolant lines. Most of the steel lines were corroded and plugged. One turbo coolant line was corroded and plugged as well. I had already replaced the rad because of the nasty coloured coolant but apparently the previous owner may have for a prolonged period of time used some sort of tap water or a very acidic water that has made a mess out of eveything it touched. The cost of trying to either fabricate the hard lines that attach to the engine and plenum would be cost prohibitive. At any rate I’m at a point of no return and I need to source another engine.
I could use some good suggestions on who can provide a reliable VG30DETT where it’s history won’t be a complete ??? I inmagine some of you may know of a good JDM engine source place (Importer) for an engine. I like to find one within the the next few days if possible. Your help will be appreciated. Cheers,
John

Is that the reason you were saying one of your turbos has a lot of endplay?
I was talking to Dell (funkd5 - Silver 300ZX TT) last night and he said he has a VG30DETT lying around with dead pistons. I’m not sure if he’s willing to sell, but maybe you can take it off his hands and peice your engine together?? Just a thought.
That way you get a cheaper engine and he gets a bit of cash for his loss.
