You could put a DETT in it, but it would definitely take a lot of money and work. For the power levels most people look for, the VG30ET is plenty strong enough. Many are in the 300-400 whp range on stock internals, some at 500 whp. I wouldn't bother with the DETT unless you're looking for a lot more than that... even then, the VG30ET had been built up to make over 1,000 hp for the GTP ZX and there is a 7 second Z31 running the VG30E, twin turbo I believe.

Just put the few grand you would invest in just getting the VG30DETT and you'll have well over 300 hp.

yup it fits, it's been done, both n/a and turbo 's have been done, the VQ35DE would be a good swap or you could take the real easy way and just do the VG30ET, come stock in 84-89 300ZXT's it's a bolt in swap (you will need the turco donor's crossmsmber) and capable of about as much power as the twin turbo dual cam version at a fraction of the cost and effort, RB's and SR's have all been done as well, if you look up AZ Zbums site he has a bunch of swap links, I'm moving this to the classic section where it belongs

If you have to ask, you can't afford it or you don't have the ability to perform the swap.

But since you asked....http://www.az-zbum.com/modific...shtml

This should just be your signature.
