warrenp Posted October 9, 2002 Share Posted October 9, 2002 i got my vg30et in to my 1988 nissan truck. so far it's just sitting in the. but it is bolted to the transmission. big puls!! i am very pleased with the results. it's a cramped space but enough to work with. i'm just woundering, any one here think my vg30et truck will beat one of the new nissan frontier supercharged trucks? well assuming i can ever get her finished.

Guest Ian turbo240 Posted October 9, 2002 Share Posted October 9, 2002 If you can fit a hybrid turbo and intercooler, you can make some pretty good HP on the ole VG30ET. You should be able to make about 250HP without any problem. This may be possible with the stock turbo. However, an intercooler is a must. Those new S/C Frontier's are about 215hp? I think you can acheive that just with a little boost increase and good exhaust. Good luck. Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Aaron Posted October 9, 2002 Share Posted October 9, 2002 Since I own a 98 Frontier, and have driven the older trucks, I think you will kill a Frontier. The Frontier feels a lot heavier than the older trucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warrenp Posted October 10, 2002 Author Share Posted October 10, 2002 i bought a thunderbird intercooler and modified both the inlet and the outlet to 2 1/2 in diamator so i should have a good flow rate. as far as a larger turbo. i doubt that will happin. i just wanted to have more than the origanal 115hp the the 4 cylinder had. 70 mph down I-95 or I-495 to mass. sucks! even the cops fly past me. how do you guys think my gears will hold up on my rear end? should my truck be fine or not. a buddy of mine said it should be fine. but i'm not 100% sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I think it would be fine. And for your new found traction problems, you can get a LSD or detroit locker for that rear end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
