Guest Rodney Sparks Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 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... 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. 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. -Rodney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimZ Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 I think they managed to work that out... it's a post from effing 2003 after all! Well, look at the bright side - blu240z had to have been using the search function to have found this post in the first place, and that's still a good thing.
