SleeperZ31 Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Okay, i've been posting quite a bit on engine swaps for my z31, and id like to thank all who have listened to (or should i say, read) my posts and given me their honest opinion, but now i think i may have finally found what would work (or so id hope) I recently ran upon a vg30et block thats been well kept along with its respective ecu but the owner used the turbo on another project and no longer needs the motor, AND ive found a used vg33e® supercharged for sale thats got a (actually several) spun rod(s) but low miles and the blowers intact... While ive had my heart set on a vg33er swap this predicament got me thinking...the vg33er is supposedly not entirely well built (obviously) but the vg30et is well suited to handle boost, even if the air-charge is un-intercooled (perfect) and the vg30et is a relatively simple swap into the z31 considering it was made for it, so could if i could find a way to drive the supercharger and bolt it to the vg30et and swap o2sensors and the necessary electronics for the vg30et could the turbo ECU handle things? Ive worked with roots blowers a little bit but not turbos, i know they produce boost in different manners, and the psi of the air-charge of a roots blower is affected by ambient air temp and humidity and turbos are not, but the m62 is setup to make around 6-7 psi, quite close to the turbo z31s if im not mistaken, so would my idea work? and if so what parts from the vg30et would i need and does anyone have an idea on how to drive the supercharger considering the vg33er uses a serpentine system but the vg30et doesnt (right?) Ive got decent fabrication and welding skills and alot of time and patience, but almost no knowledge of vehicle engine managment systems or wiring motors, i can read schematics quite well and have a good knowledge of general electronics i just have never wired in a motor, let alone tried creating a whole new setup, so any advice or help would be very greatly appreciated! i would just hate to get things bolted up and put in place only to have a short or wrong wire somewhere send the thing up in flames (pending the purchase of an extinguisher..lol..) Ive thought of alot of swaps ( i daydream alot..especially at work) but this is honestly the most realisticly possible one (or so i hope) so far aside from a turbo swap itself, which, again, is not what im into..
