SleeperZ31 Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Im new to this forum and would like to start by saying thanks to all who read and answer my post, i know my questions may have been previously answered but my situation may be different so im hoping you guys can make an exception for the greenhorn.. mildy worked 87 NA in need of a new mill and i know everyone loves the VG30ET BUT... What i want is to drop a VG33E® and i know that its a distributor engine (so the tach wouldnt be and issue) and relatively the same as my VG30e so mounting wouldnt be an issue and the CF cowl hood ive got would solve clearance issues..the transmissions the same right? i know xterra se-scs had 5 speeds too and im hoping that the oil,temp and voltmeter senders are similar, so would dropping this motor in be a big deal? I know ill need a new higher rate fuel pump, but what else? Hopefully my MSA headers would work with it and keep EGR function, and yes, i know turbos are somewhat more efficent and offer much better HP per dollar but its not what i want,i love roots-blown mills and all i would like is a little more than 200hp 200ftlb tq and ive got experience with roots style (eatons specificaly) blowers so this is in a sense my dream motor:-P my biggest problem is how to wire it! ive torn and built motors before BUT never wired a new mill into a car, would it be as simple as dropping in a ECU from the XTerra se-sc and wiring the senders and connecting the fuel lines?(doubtful) or am i already in over my head!? ive located a 30k motor and harness+ECU for 1500 and dont know if i should jump on it or just take a new path, please help! Does the ECU have anything to do with cockpit controlls or is there an entirely different ecu for climate controls, interior lights, warning lights, ect...? Im open to any and all constructive criticism BUT dont be offended when i say i have absolutley NO interest whatsoever in turbo motors and the only mill beside the E® i would like is the vq35de but that would require entirely to much $$$$ and fab work beyond my skill level so i wont kid myself..but again thanks for ignoring my ignorance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
