just need to know if any vg30e vehicles had a front sump oil pan, and which one(s)?

thank you

90-92 Infiniti M3089-94 Maxima GXE89-91 Maxima SE85-88 Maxima (has a little kick out on it for more oil capacity though so you'll have to make sure that doesn't get in the way of anything)

I believe also the 200SX with the VG30E. Those are the ones I know of off hand.

[bball212000]

thank you very much

Not a problem... what are you working on, if you don't mind me asking.

[bball212000]

i am going to attempt a vg30et into my s14. the keyword here is try. this is not a sure thing and if it does happen it will be in a month a two when summer classes are done.

[mtcookson]

Awesome. I've always wanted to do a VG30ET into a 240. They sit much lower and further back than the KA plus are supposed to have very similar weights.

I think you would really enjoy the VG. You can crank out quite a bit of power without even touching the internals.

[bball212000]

i agree that i woud like a vg30et. they are cheap and make incredible power on a stock block. it also make tons of torque.

[mtcookson]

Exactly.

[bball212000]

i am planning on a n/a block converted to turbo. i already have all the parts. its just a matter of getting out of summer classes. i would run it completely stock until i worked out all the quircks.

[mtcookson]

I definitely think the N.A. block is the way to go for most street applications. The 9:1 is definitely low enough to handle boost. It will give you more power throughout the entire rev range, spool the turbo quicker, and likely get better fuel economy. It will also be easier to drive on the street having more low end torque and, of course, can still handle as much power as the rest of the VG's as well.
