I have a place I can stay in Greenville if you want to pay me $4000 to come out there and just put it in the car for you and get it running. You pay all extra parts that have to be purchased to fix it.

Just once I'd like to see one of these idiots come back a month or two later going "Look what I did you *** holes! So there!"

Sadly, they never do.

Now is that because I scared them off?
Or is because they never completed it?
Or is it because they didn't even have the money in the first place?

So johnsonsz31tt... get the motor & tranny in the z31... this sounds like you have you hands full... I was going to put a vg30dett in a 72 510 buuuuuuuut there is no room... so I got a vg30det and that is working great... just fits... had to put the battery in the trunk... now to put all this is a car that will be1000lbs less...

I think you should get a vg30det up the boost to 12lbs or change the head gaskets, put in an intercooler and then you could up the boost to 18psi or so...

I got my boost at 11psi and I eat up 5.0s/4.6 like a sail going over salt LOL... after all that work can you really get that much more power out of the tt??? just stay with a stock turbo setup for the z31...

Umm... I know there is a dime running around with a VG30DETT. It has the intercoolers up above the headlights in the engine bay (horizontally mounted) with (if I remember right) two Z31 scoops directing air in over them.

I'll have to see if I can dig up the pictures, but it looked bad ***.

BTW: There is virtually no size difference between the VG30DETT and VG30DET. They are the same motor with a different intake plenum and only one turbo vs twins.

they way he talks i think he confused the VG30DET (never available in the US) for the VG30ET.... i could be wrong, but its just my take on it.

That 510 twin turbo is in the northwest. I've seen it so many times I don't really look at it anymore. It is clean and crampt in that engine bay.

thats a quality broom stick, he can stick a vg30dett in a 510 yet he cannot spend two minutes to make a new hood support?

LOL That is clean... I would like to put that in my 510. I heared that it is so packed under the hood... I'll look into putting the vg30dett in it.

That's exactly the car I was thinking of. Damn. I thought he had scoops directing the air over the ICs. Guess not.

maybe he did have scoops but they've been off for at least 3 years now. That car has been pretty much the same for the last 3+ years that I remember.

oh ya. One picture is from 2006, the other from 2007 so he's been sportin that broomstick for a while! lol

First, post pictures.
Second, learn to spell.

I can't believe there are retards running around in vehicles who can't spell second grade words like "YOU".
