The vg30de out of the j30 probably will fit. As to what else you need I don't know. You should try posting on the club-s12 forums. I know theres a couple of guys who've dropped other motors in their s12's.

for the trouble, you're not gonna get much of a gain and the S12 isn't very wide as far as the engine bay goes.

I'd honestly opt for an SR, KA or RB swap.

or be baller and get a CA or FJ.

Yeah...VG30DE...not a great idea...

It's gonna be HARD as HELL to fit due to width and then a money pit to make power. Plus if you DID get it in, you'd almost HAVE to stay N/A due to lack of room for a turbo.

Either stick with the VG30e, and turbo it...or swap.

Now if you could get a hold of a VG33e, and supercharge(again...fit-ment issues) or turbo...that would be fun.

Other wise...go for FJ/CA swap like Mr1der said. (unless your not baller...that is...)

Good luck though!!

Oh yeah...post up some pics!!!!

Yes it is hard to find performance parts. Really, its hard to find because they are non existent well nothing plug and play. I own an 88 200sx SE as well. If you are looking for upgrades, be prepared to spend money on custom and modded parts. With enough money anythings possible lol
