RedBeauty84ZX Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 First I must ask why? If you want single turbo just get a z31 turbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnaught14 Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 bolt in a z31 engine, and you have your single turbo. Itd be way easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EZ-E Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 At the same time though less powerful, and not as good of a motor, not saying that the Vg30 isnt a good motor, but you cant beat that inliner. Its like the before nissan f'ed up and went to the V motor. Shame Nissan didnt keep the inliner like Toyota did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EZ-E Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Not to mention the 27 more ponies straight away and a bit more torque as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 A Toyota engine will kill your resale value, what about a Infiniti V8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedBeauty84ZX Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 Not to mention the 27 more ponies straight away and a bit more torque as well. Why not go with the JDM VG30ET? 230HP and 245TQ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EZ-E Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 Well the stock MA-70 7MGTE motor puts oout more then that at 232 hp and 253 ftlbs of torque and its availablity is high. Like I said Im not getting into a fighting match about which is or isnt better, as I love the Z design and motor, its just that when they went to the V design they started to lose the race. Then again Toyota always waited everyone out as well to see what was out there then put out something a bit better and more powerful.

Guest amgvr4 Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 There are tons of RBs in jdm z31s as the 200zr came from the factory with an rb20det. Not only rbs but also vg30det and vg30de were stock in the 300zr. An rb25det could be a better nissan alterative if you have to have a I6. The 7mgte will be less money to buy initially but cost more to get in the car and running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifton Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 He's talking about a Z32. I don't know why you would even consider a 7M for that. As far as 27 more hp. Big deal. It was intercooled with a higher CR. Mod for mod they would both make the same. The VG has a shorter stroke that I would prefer. A VH45 or VK45 with turbo would be the only Nissan motor I would swap into a Z32. No point is swapping if you aren't gaining displacemant on a heavy car.

mtcookson Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Yeah, I definitely agree with Clifton on the VH/VK. Search for the member "lost" for info on his VH45DE(TT) powered Z32. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
