yes i have a z31. liek what kind of modifcations?
also what would you do to it the vg30 to get that much horsepower?

drkfilldschemis

also which one woudl be cheaper?
building up the vg30 or trying to put in the VG30-DETT?
also if i get the VG30-DETT im going to haee a shop put it in because i dont know enough about engine swaping and all the modifications that need 2 be made 2 make the new one fit just right

hoov100

might have to beet out you fender wells to make it fit, i would settle for a vg30de, no reall need for TT's in a z31, plus all the costs of putting a TT motor in a z31 would add up really fast, i would like to a see a vg30de in a z31 though, should be plenty of power..

wreckedj30

i hear the de's won't really fit with out major mods. but who know's. if i was you i'd go to the vg30et cause there made for the car's and are easy to make power compared to the n/a's.

my86z

cheaper and easier to just build up the VG30ET's.

wreckedj30

yeah just go vg30et it'll work easier, at least thats what i yes persuaded to..and 86' sorry in another page, i'm here tho..

drkfilldschemis

the vg30et is the v6 turboed version right?
also what kinda of mods can i do to make it better?
be specific

wreckedj30

like what and on the turbo'd or n/a. and yes the et is the turboed version

NismoPick

Quick lesson on Nissan Engine codes....

VG = V-6

DE = dual overhead cam, e for electronic fuel injection

T = TURBO

for mods.... feel free to use the SEARCH, since that question has been asked A LOT

drkfilldschemis

okay i knew that i was just making sure
but what does n/a mean?
cuz i could of sworn someone said sumthign about a n/a engine

wreckedj30

yup, listen to nismo...well most of the time..and man i've learned alot in 7mths. almost pro.

drkfilldschemis

well coudl anyone jsut give me a list of mods liek just a bunch of general things i coudl do and what i'd gain from it?

wreckedj30

from the n/a+ naturally aspirated? or turbo?

NismoPick

N/A = Naturally Aspirated ... as in: the engine sucks in the air, it's not forced in like "forced induction."

ok... mods, you really can use the search tho... it's actually fun finding info on your own

-install boost controller

-install an intercooler

-bigger injectors

-something to control the bigger injectors

-less restrictive exhaust

-port n polish intake

yada yada yada.......................................

drkfilldschemis

whats an intercooler do
and also what would be something to control the bigger injectors?

hoov100

N/A-naturally aspirated

wreckedj30

an intercooler cools the air, going back through the engine. unstead of just resicurlating the hot engine air...search for the rest though.

NismoPick

Really... FEEL FREE TO USE THE SEARCH. GOOGLE IS ALSO A GOOD PLACE TO FIND INFO. TYPE WWW.GOOGLE.COM AND THEN TYPE IN "WHAT IS AN INTERCOOLER"

wreckedj30

yes listen to the smarter members...use the seacrh.lol. search foo search.

AZ-ZBum

There are no fitment issues with the DOHC motors. But they don't just bolt right in. And they're a nightmare to deal with in the first place.

see listen to e, and nismo.search foo search. and az-bum i knew they'd fit but figured you'd have to change out the motor mounts and probably some other things...i'm going to try once i get a z31 but i'm going to tt it then she what she'll do.
