Good morning

I recently purchased a late 80's vg30e and I am wondering if there is a revised intake manifold that I can use for the 90's tt dual intake Plenum?

Not sure if I am understanding your question, but if I am reading it correctly...

No, there were not a bunch of different plenum a you can use for the vg30de like there is on the vg30. However, I can tell you that the pathfinder/quest plenum is a very good one to use on the single cam vg.

The dual cam, as far as I know uses basically the same plenum in 3 different instinces. J30, vg30de/tt

The plenum from a VG30DE will NOT fit a VG30E. You can use alternate VG30E intake plenums but not from a DE.

As evildky says the VG30DE and DETT are completely different than the VG30 engines from the '80's- no cross-compatible parts IIRC.

Don't want to confuse the populace and more.
