hoov100 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 get a TT clip if you are really serious about swapping a vg30dett into your car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjc5500 Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 why woudl i need the full clip? couldnt i make my own mounts and place the engine so the shifter lines up and have a driveshaft made? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoov100 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 those type of motors are usually junkyard pullouts, plus almost all the time with a clip everything is still sealed up, plus you would have the wiring harness and everything you need instead of sourcing otu different parts, plus i would also buy the remainder of the clip from you for my z32.

gjc5500 Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 I was thinking about going to the JY and pulling a full swap and rebuilding it. also, if i got a vg30de and put the turbo mainfolds on it, woudl this work?(Last resort) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoov100 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 you would have to lower the CR by ALOT, bigger oil pump, turbo oil pan, all the intake piping, ECU-wiring harness, injectors, would save yourself ALOT of hassle and time to just buy the TT motor.

gjc5500 Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 Figured as much. So would a JY engine be a bad place to start. im on a budget(School payments) and need a motor to work on. i intend on MSnS, boost contol, the whole nine yards. Rebuilding the engines, and maybe even the turbos wouldnt be that big of a deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.I.jonas Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Get the clip!!! i've done this swap myself(or am doing it)and i can tell you right now that you will save money in the long run by not having to hunt down all the nitty gritty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1FASTKINGCAB Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 The NA motors are fine boosted by the way. TT's are 9.3:1 and NA's are 10:1 you woun't be able to push the stock N/A pistons much past 400WHP after that you need either OE TT pistons or foraged aftermarket pistons. Stock TT blockar are good to aroud 550WHP I have a NA long block out of an Infinity J30 and Z32 Turbos, Manifolds, ECU and harness. and any VG30 tranny will bolt up. It can be done afforabily if you shop around. Mostly you will only find clips from japan. the JDM cars have smaller turbos and more agressive cams.
