OOO...What if I do that bigv? It might be cheaper to find an old pathfinder engine than a 300zx....Its available after 91 right? I contacted Nissan Only Wreckers and they dont have a front clip right now

 

Fuggin sweet man, nice to see that people have more ideas then just a sr. i am getting bashed everywhere i turn because i wanna boost my KA

ps not trying to jack the thread

 

i agree bigvinnie..that would be sick

 

here is how to do the vg33 and the vg30 heads... i was looking for the parts to put something like this together... great things you find when you cant sleep...

read the sections on the motor... that is where the information is...

 

Wow...vg33 block, vg30 heads, and vh45 pistons? Insane. I wonder how much power its making...

 

im out looking for the block now... not like i need another motor sitting at my house but i think it would be a fun project to build... and it might look sweet in a little hard body truck... sweet little sleeper...

 

Very interesting... I'll take that to consideration!

 

The 3.3 litres started in 92. Yes they are cheaper blocks also due to the fact that they come from SOHC block pathfinders with dual point fuel injection. Then you can sell the SOHC heads on ebay for cheap, and sell the dual point fuel injection for cheap.
Then you can buy z32 DOHC heads and front DOHC "belt driven, not chain" assembly for cheap.
The SOHC parts are cheaper but you will make up the price in the time it takes to make it work for DOHC assembly......

 

Sweet...Ill call them for a vg33 now (Nissan Only wreckers)

 

how much work has to go into this processs to make the swap happen, is it about the same as a rb25 or 26

 

The install of the VG30/33 takes half the amount of time that it takes for the RB25/26 installs. Z31 engine and transmission mounts from the 86-89 SOHC 300z fit right into the 240sx, same sub frames, slightly different chassis.
If you use a larger single turbo for spool times and HP, it will be faster in 1/4mile times than a twin turbo.
This is applied to the rule of thermal dynamics where 6 cylinders focus on one turbo, rather than 3 cylinders focusing on a small pee wee turbo.

 

You sure BigV? So z31 mounts+z32<<<?) engine and tranny=easy install, right? I asked this before but you never responded

 

Yes VG blocks have the same bolt pattern wiether it is sohc or dohc. I thought I did answer this in another thread........
Didn't I???????????

 

You got me there Thanks a million. Well, off to the junkyard LOL...

 

the hard pat is comming up with the heads so far... the block i found but still looking for the heads off of the z32... there is a set off of an 87 that i can pick up but im not sure which ones to use... more research...
