My engine bay is big enough for a VG30DETT engine. But i just want to make sure I can put it in there before i buy one. Its twin turbos and everything. Do you think it would be able to fit in the 240sx? Please respond and tell me if it will or not. I have an automatic transmission so it should be able to work.

Yes.

edit: With any amount of money you can but any motor in any car. But a VG will go into a 240 for not a lot of money. If you search someone already did it.

yesmy car before when the previous owner had a vg in it

you cannot run twin turbo because the drivers side turbo just happens to land smack dab in the way of the steering shaft

You can, but those things are a pain to work on in a 300, I can only imagine trying to work on one in a 240. Plus they are kinda heavy.

well they are easier because you cant run two turbos... you have to run a single

the vg in my car made 519hp 485tq @ 22psi11.30 @ 129 (radials)

thats on a stock motor, just a fuel system and a big single
