86 300ZX vg30deTT swap?

[pitobread]

i'm thinking of buying a complete vg30dett and transplanting it into my z31 body. why? cuz i am bored. that and i want turbo power, i know i will have to get a custom driveshaft, and rewire the ECU but has anyone done this? if so someone has any pointers? its either the vg30dett or sr20det ( i think a 4 banger in my old z would fly) but i'm leaning towards the vg30dett because of it's bigger displacement, and the fact I can squeze a little more out of it. but LMK what you guys think.

Well...

You got your pro's and con's...

PRO's for VG30DETT:

-Can be serviced at any Nissan or knowledgeable mechanic
-Parts can be found here and plenty of them
-Aftermarket parts are here and plenty of them
-Probably someone has done it on www.z31.org or can point you to who did
-300HP stock...can hold up to like 500HP on stock bottom end

CON's against VG30DETT:

-Bigger & heavier than SR
-Harder to work on due to VEE setup
-Alot of VG30DETT's are ragged on by owners w/heavy right feet
-Price of a VG30DETT $$$ in good condition

PRO's for SR20DET:

-Better weight distribution
-Lots of up & coming technology and parts
-Good support aftermarket wise
-Unique swap
-Rev's higher

CON's against SR20DET:

-From Japan
-May not pass emissions in your state/province
-Need someone VERY knowledgeable to set it all up
-Do you know Japanese? Cuz it will help if you do...if you dont...lots of luck
-Only good for up to like 400-450 on bottom end

My choice:

Go w/the VG30DETT if you got it all the info and how to...
