I get my IAP kit in 3days . So my first project is complete. Now I got 2 projects left. I already have my VG30dett swap on order. I got a coupel options.I can do the Vg swap and my hatch and leave it as is.If I leave as it is I should have time to restore my vert and bring it to NOPI.All it would be is a clean vert with fresh paint, new top, sound system, and the KEG set-up.Depending on the next month I might be able to fab a SC on it. I can either go Full Blown and do the VG swap in my hatch and get everything done, suspension interior etc.Should be done well before NOPI. Or I can try to put the VG in the vert.Although I don't think it will be finished in time due to it needing a new top and paint.Give me some feedback please. I'm moving this fall and right now both cars run so I'm thinking of just focusing on one car.I like the DEA of the vert with SC...but it would be sweet with the vg.However that's what my shell was bought for....I keep arguing with myself.....Know a doctor?Thanx again

I would just go all out with the VG30 hatch, but that's just what I would do. I'd rather have a bad a** fast car than one to just cruise in (the 'vert). And I wouldn't try to rush to get it done for NOPI - take your time so you get it right and don't have to spend a week without sleeping trying to do something over. There's always NOPI 2006

I like the idea of the VG in the vert. That would be hot. I say you work your *** off and get that baby ready for Sept...

Where the heck are you going to fit a s/c in any S13 with a VG30DETT? Its not like you are going to have any room for such a thing...

I agree, also I don't see it being in time for Nopi since its in sept. It's possible if you have A LOT of free time. I've heard of a vg30et going into a s12 and that take some custom work etc. downtime was a few months. Time consuming issue would be custom parts IE: driveshaft,mounts, and doing the wiring. Restoring the vert would be done in time and a nice daily driver.

The vert would be a supercharged KA

I'm with the majority on this one - go all out.

I say put it in to the Vert. Just because they are so rare and they are even harder to find with motor swaps in them I only know of 2 vert with RB's and you will be first with a VG. that i Know of you see this sort of thin in HB and coupes.

Sean, which two RB verts do you know of. I only have seen mine and the E-Emotorsports, but I am curious to see if you know others than those.

Florida... I think the VG in the vert would be very cool!!! I have never heard of it before. If you want to turn some heads at NOPI, that would do it. You would be unique!
