Z24O Posted January 6, 2007 Author Share Posted January 6, 2007 was is the difference between vg30det and vg30et? i really need a vg30et but if the det is the same i might get that. also, you are asking 1900 au, what does that translate to in US? hi hank heres some additional info VG30DET The VG30DET is the same as the VG30DE, but with a single ceramic turbo. It produces 255 hp. It was used in the Nissan Leopard (F31) As well as the Nissan Cima, Gloria, Cedric (y31) and 300ZR (z31) (same as the 300ZX , just the VG30DE and VG30DET instead of the VG30E and VG30ET ) furthermore...... Are there two variants of the VG30DETT, one with quad cam and one with dual cam? If so, what are the differences? The twin turbo 300 horsepower VG30DETT's (280 hp in the auto) found in the US 300zx engines are twin cam. A twin cam VG30DE version was found in the 222 hp non turbo 300zx. The early Maximas had a 160 hp single overhead cam VG30E engine (the SE's from 1992-1994 had a twin cam VE30DE engine very similar to the VG series). A quad cam single turbo VG30DET was factory equipped in overseas Nissan models such as the Leopard, Cima, and Cedric. The V6 quad cam engine was rated at 255hp @ 6000 rpm with 253 ft lbs of torque @ 3200 rpm. Both the twin cam and quad cam are 3L 24 valve V6 engines with high nickel blocks and forged crank and rods. the VG30DET is quad cam/twin throttle body/4 valves per cylinder/single turbo (T3 steel wheeled in australia) which i beleive has more potential than the earlier VG30ET....it should fit in the Z31,but i am no 300zx expert hope this helps paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade_Charlie Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I have seen vg30detts fit which are bigger because twin turbos, so im assuming that would fit. the "D" stands for duel overhead cam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both the twin cam and quad cam are 3L 24 valve V6 engines with high nickel blocks and forged crank and rods. there is no quad cam engine. all dohc v6 engines have 4 cams, one intake and one exhaust on each side of the V. the single overhead cam engines actually had 2 cams, one on each side of the V. Why would a single bank of cylinders need more than 2 cams? intake, exhaust, and what 2 other things? even vtec uses only 2 cams, it just slides em back and forth to change profiles stevo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtcookson Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Quad cam is just another way of saying dual overhead cam. Quad cam just means four cams in all. Really... that's a better way of naming the engine imo but ehh... either way works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
