I'm serious about this. Would anyone else be interested in buying an entire mount ' kit ' for this swap? Lets remember that witha big displacement motor you can do less to make the same power, and much more torque. i.e. more area under the curve. Lets also remember that the VG30ET is a light motor. 300lbs for a motor with all accessories bolted to it from the factory. Imagine one stripped down for racing. very light.

The kit would consist of1. Modified Crossmember ( And trust me, you'd know this ones modified.2. Correct Oil pan with oil return line installed. (you need this to make motor sit in there and not hit schtuff)3. correct oil pickup to work with oil return line.4. mounts and motor mount brackets to make motor bolt in.5. exhaust manifolds to accept turbo setup. this will probably be a T3 flange with a flange for a tial 40mm, but if there is something that the customer wants instead, i can definatly work with that.

this is not a commercial post. i am a white boy with a wleder and some time and figure maybe i can help out those that want a 'big block' in their car but want to stay nissan.

as far as costs would go.. figure less than a thousand for everything made done etc etc etc. i don't feel its too much, since you can get the motors for 400 bucks complete all day long, you'd still be cheaper than a damn rb swap.

That would be insane... considering I have both of those... the mounts would be a nice addition to my collection ;)

Where would I get a VG30DET for $400, If you know then tell me, cause I want one, but it is going in an S13, either way, let me know. and what is your price on such mounting kit? I would also like to know the HP and TQ for the VG30det.

Hey daunt, If I get a VG30DET what would you charge to install, and how long would it take?

Basicly, they have asked all my questions.

1. Is this for the z31 or z32 engine? I see VG30dett and Vg30et in the post.

he said a lite engine, engine for around $400, and a t3 flange which says Z31 Vg30ET. With that said lets go to my next question.

2. I did not see in the post S13 or S14. I am interested in S13.

The VG30et is suppose to have like 220 hp or so, but that can easily be increased. I checked Car-Parts.com and found at least twelve VG30ET's for $600 dollars and under, in my state alone.

Sounds sweet to me.
