VG33ER The 3.3 L (3,275 cc) VG33ER is a supercharged version of the VG30, and produces 210 hp (157 kW) at 4,800 rpm
Nope, those are factory numbers. This is a SOHC motor thats found in Nissan trucks. Actually pretty overpriced for what they are, and before you think more about it, the engine mount brackets from your Z32 will not fit, and neither will your DOHC heads (they have 5 bolts per cylinder on the SOHC and 4 bolts per cylinder in the DOHC )
I looked extensively into these VG33's a while ago, not worth the hassle at all. Get a TT, better in all respects.
Yes.. The NA (VG30DE) came with 167kw from factory. How much you have now depends on the health of your motor and the mods you have.
You can keeps the VG33ER, the VG30DE makes more power....but I wouldn't be upset if the intake and supercharger fit our engines....
I have a lower plenum for a VG33E at my other house, but won't be down for 3 weeks - I'll try and find it for a comparrison.
it doesnt. the vg33e is a single cam head, the vg30de is a twin cam head. no parts for the intake are interchangable.
OK, the lower intake doesn't bolt to our engine, but is the top of the lower intake a match for ours? (Ie would the 33ER's supercharger bolt onto our lower intake, even with some "minor surgery") If that could be done, then the next question would be how much higher than standard would that make the top of the engine (Ie how much bonnet modification required) The only supercharger jobs I've seen on a Z32 are - Centrifigal Supercharger (belt driven turbo) where A/C should be. (No thanks.)You Tube - Big one on top of mother of all intake manifolds (you gotta be kidding) - MP90 on a custom manifold. (Getting closer now...) You Tube
unfortunately, still no, the intake manifold designs are completely different in every regard. you might be able to make up a adaptor plate to suit, but then you mauy as well just use a eaton type blower or similar and start from scratch as per video 3
The top of the lower VG33E intake section I have has all the intake ports inline at a vertical angle, and it looks like its fed from the top. The top of the lower VG30DE intake section is staggered and at a sharp angle because of the cross flow of the upper intake. Comparing the 2, I'd say you would have to change so much of it, that it would be easer to build it from scratch ...
