VG30DETT into 1989 240SX

Post by **oneslow240se** » Tue Oct 10, 2006 9:25 am

any updates on how the car performed with this engine and how the bolt on kit held up?

Post by **180sxfaktory** » Tue Oct 10, 2006 10:23 am

Julio-

I mentioned this earlier in this thread with regards to the steering column, since there is not a whole lot of room, and we made adjustments for it. The car steers just fine from full lock to counter full lock.

Now, to why I am even responding...

I'm gonna be straightforward, but you came out of nowhere and you are asking the same questions as if a competitor wishing to do the same thing set someone out to do some recon and fish for info. I apologize but I put too much into this to just give it all away. I've not seen anything with regards to pics of your swap to prove otherwise.

Once the kit is released 25 October, you can buy the kit or stay tuned to this thread to find out what it's all about. I will not release this kit if there is gonna be anything questionable regarding safety and ease of installation.

As for video, I've got two MP4 format videos of the car in action. Solo action and tandem with an S14 with a 2J. Both cars lighting up the place.

Folks, you know me, I'm not confrontational but I had to address this issue now.

Thanks.

I got a shop ready for my swap to begin As soon as the kit is in my hands I'm taking apart the vert. Waiting for the engine to arrive... There will be plenty of pics......

Cant wait Florida... Have me on th edge of my seat. If i may ask, why are you taking it to a shop getting a deal or just time issues? Also when is the ETA on the engine?

I am just asking out of curiousity, not as a competitor. Please do not quasi-accuse me of trying to steal your ideas.

Post them up, I want to see the car in action. (I also wouldn't mind seeing the 2jz s14)

It was a machine shop...The guy moved up north...so now the shop is empty I'm doing all the work myself, along wiht any other Florida nutz that show up...

Thats awesome man, im so stoked to see how its all going to play out. what are you going to do when you get the motor as far as tune up wise? Normal stuff like plugs etc and all the small stuff. I guess you really cant say until your hovering over the engine when you get it, oh and you will be hovering The only thing i dont like is the fact that you have to pull the motor to access the turbos once its in... which let me to think might as well replace them(but they would be a pretty high cost on top of everything else) Like i said, you wont really know until you can physically inspect them.

He said the kit will be available on the 25th. I know, I'm really anxious too, but we gotta give this guy some time to get everything ready. Be patient.

Florida240sx is in the process of getting his clip and install kit, so the next few weeks are probably going to be slow on the VG240 front, but he can chime in more about that if he so desires. And we should be expecting some video of the car in action..soon

Post by **evan86** » Fri Oct 13, 2006 11:10 am

My VG and 240 are ready to go. I'm just waiting on the kit to come out. I might do a light rebuild, but other than that my motor's ready.

Post by **Florida240sx** » Fri Oct 13, 2006 2:37 pm

Awesome evan. I look forward to seeing your progress. Any pics of the engine/ and or clip?

Post by **kouki munster** » Sat Oct 14, 2006 7:59 pm

Everyday I check this thread to see if the viedo has been posted, and everyday I see that it hasn't it makes me cry.

Post by **evan86** » Sun Oct 15, 2006 6:23 am

I've got the VG out of my 1990 Z that I wrecked. I've been hanging onto what's left of the car since I had the accident, waiting to find a decent rolling chassis to swap everything over to. The VG240 idea popped into my head a couple times, but now that a kit is going to be available, I know that I have to do this. I'll take some pics of my progress and I'll make a thread when the kit is in and I start the swap. I am planning on taking my time since I am a full time college student and I work, but I'll keep you guys updated. For anyone considering this swap, definitely read up on twinturbo.net and 300zxclub. There is a wealth of information you should know about the VG. I'm lucky to be a Z32 and S13 guy.

Evan86...I thought you sounded familiar. Yeah 300zxclub is where I hang out 95% of the time online. Great 300zx (VG30DETT) info. Check it out if you guys haven't already... Evan good luck with your swap.

Post by **evan86** » Tue Oct 17, 2006 9:21 pm

If the swap kit isn't available on the 25th, I'll probably go ahead and put my money into the Z and wait a couple months to start project VG240. I've got a lot of projects and I just can't wait too much longer because I have the urge to work on something now . I understand that there's a lot of last minute things that need to be attended to, so I can be patient and wait a couple months if need be. Just let us know if you have a definite date yet.
