VG30DETT dimensions


RacerX

Recommended Posts

I was at my friends repair shop this morning and he had an 300ZX VG30DETT engine built by Stillen sitting on an engine stand. Seems the customer blew the engine up and it was torn down for inspection. No heads, intake, water pump, oil pan etc., - just the block on the engine stand. It looked very small, so I took the liberty to quickly measure it. Here are the "engine block" dimensions:

 

Engine:

Length= 15.5"

Height= 9.5"

Width= 14.5"

 

Just thought someone would be interested in this info.

Widest part of the VG30DET motor is @ the valve covers (approx)

 

I meausred it leave us 1/2" clearance of the shock towers on either side.

 

Tight fit.

I have a TT drivline at the shop I can measure if anyone really needs some dimesions.. its for sale to BTW.

I found the information you were looking for.

http://www.autospeed.com/cms/article.html?&title=The-Nissan-VG30DETT&A=109870

 

710mm (27.95inches) Long

775mm (30.51inches) Wide

695mm (27.36inches) Tall

 

I wanted to know the size as well as I am planning on swapping it into my '93 Miata. Yeah I know, the miata swap is overdone, but the car was free to me so I'm going to make the most of it.
