    WHOA that's some serious power in a light weight chasis. But that's what I'm aiming for the vg is a very strong motor with minimal mods.and searching some more I've found a moved turbo towards the ac compressor which would help in the s30 and only the altornator would need a mount or brace.piping for the intercooler would be what I'm searching next. I think I'm going to stick to the vg :)

    That is one reason I looked at the VQ it is a more modern engine and parts are Everywhere but what I want out of it its just not going to get me there. Although a donor car is the best bet for a vq swap however the vg I actually intend on building the motor just to have peace of mind such as pistons, rods, ported and polished and bored not sure how much yet but Ive seen vgs basically an entire car for 2k So the engine and all needed parts are fairly cheap and parts arent expensive or that hard to find. I agree the vq is lighter but the vg will get me to that 350-400 range I desire at a cheaper cost. The purpose would be mainly just cruising but also for some track events researching on here the s30 pretty much has endless possibilities. I for sure know I dont want the LS1 swap Ive seen it done and its awesome but I rather stick to nissan. with the vg what are common problems to it? I know the vq has is a stout engine but it has weak rods i think? which is why 400rwhp is as safe as you can get with FI.

    Thanks that was some great Info! I dont know If I still want to go with the vq both cons on bothe the vq35de and the vg30et is the steering rack is in the way, but with the vg Its only the altornator that needs to be relocated or made a custom fab the the turbo needs to either be relocated or fabbed while the vq you wont have ac and relocated the shifter. I Like the vq build thanks.

    Well I currently own a 91 300zx TT and I love Z's till no end!But my true dream build is a 240z or 280z. Now as the topic states there is SO many choices on motors and setups on the s30 its insane. My main goal is to stay a nissan motor Ive researched the rb series although it is unique dont want to drop 15k on some that another motor will achieve. my goal is pretty much 350-400RWHP mainly cruising but some track events no drag stip though. With all that being said I was looking and leaning mostly towards the vg30et. The z31 is VERY undermined and gets NO type of love now having an understanding with the vg30de and the tt there big heavy and no space to work with in the z32 engine bay and in the s30 I can only image it will be slightly more room. The reason I lean towards a vg30et is for the simplicity on adding a few small mods and boom 300rwhp. I have studied the alternator and the turbo placement issues but a plus is the trans can fit in with no fabbing. Now the other choice was a vq35de but ive searched very little but sees to be a rock solid motor im very firmiliar with it but not in the s30. Can anyone help out? maybe a price towards both motors and pros and cons ive searched but hard when alot of pics are no longer in use :( thank :)
