how difficult would it be to make a VG30et into a VG30ett?? obviously money can do anything, but is it just as simple as throwin a turbo on the other side of the motor and combining the intake pipes? (turbos confuse me... so I'm tryin to learn)...

or (yet again just curious) would be a better route to swap the motor with a VG30DETT?? (if it'll fit)

yep. it's very simple.

- custom make a passenger side manifold.- custom make a driver side manifold.- run oil and water lines.- custom make intake piping.- custom make a new exhaust.- custom heatshields for the battery and other stuff on the passenger side.

don't forget to have matching turbos or you're going to destroy the balance of the engine.

So, figure around $3k to $4k worth of custom stuff.

Yes. The VG30DETT motor will fit in a Z31:

But it won't be any cheaper.http://www.az-zbum.com/modific...shtml

why do you want 2 turbo's? it costs twice as much to make the same power

I would like bragin rights that my z31 has 300-400 horses... no matter what I gotta do to it... so... yeah...

ytou can reach well over 400 whp with a very mild single turbo, and keep in mind some of the biggest baddest skylines and supra's have converted to single turbo's!
