hey hey im new to this forum and the whole tuner thing so i'll proably be asking a lot of questions.

well heres my project: i have 90 s13 hatch, and a rather wrecked 85 na Z31, i already stripped everything forward of the firewall except for the brakes lines and power steering lines from the s13. im gonna be pulling the VG30E and do a light rebuild, then stuff it into the S13. oh i almost forgot i want to put the stock Z32 turbos on it.

Has anybody does this before.

Welcome to NICO!

I know people have put the VG30E into 240's before but I don't know of any that have put the DETT's turbos on one. That will definitely be a fun car with that setup. The VG30E is an awesome engine, very inexpensive and easy to build up.

Here are some pictures I've seen online of a VG swap into an S13, might give you an idea of what to do. Look at all that room
