Well the VG30 has been done too' date=' though it is far from a bolt in like the L28. I am not sure about the T5 on the VG30, but certainly there are trannies out there that can handle some sick power. (Z32TT, etc) Search for posts by ZR8ED and check out his setup... he's running a VG30 single turbo in his early Z. In some posts he's outlined what is involved with the swap. It does involve some fender cutting and so on. But as you say, C of G is lower and behind the front struts. the VG30 is a crossflow head, and has more displacement... both are a great advantage over the L28. It also happens to be one of the lightest V6's around from what I've read.

 

VG30 full T4 setup would be really slick, and yes you could front mount the turbo ala buick GN... there would certainly be room for it. (though custom manifolds would be needed of course)

 

Sounds like you are on the right track![/quote']

 

I may look more into that VG30 setup. Anyone ever try a twin T25 setup on one? I know, Nissan did that in the early 90's... :wink: I bet I could get a couple of T25's from late model Eclipses for CHEAP. Whether they'll work or not would depend on if they have much larger a turbine A/R than the 300ZX TT units do. hmmm.... more research. :wink:

 

I thought for sure that V6 Nissan pickups and early 300Z's came with a T5...

 

I have a PM into ZR8ED; we'll see what he has to say about the setup.

the borg warner t-5 was available on original 85 ish turbo 300's, I know this because I have one in me basement : )

I have decided to wait and build the spare turbo motor, for a number of reasons , least of which is $ at this time with my ZX being repaired from the wreck as we speak

 

 

JWT will not respond to my e mails. Any other suggestions for the turbo computer work?
