would it be possible to use a vg30det in place of a dett

and put both turbos from a dett on and stick with the single intake only reason for this is i can get a vg30det for 800$
both are quad cam stroke and bore are the same both are identical aside from one has two turbos and twin throttle and the other has one turbo and one throttle
would there be any downsides?

 

Anyone suggestions please? (n/m)

 

Anyone with technical experience? Urgent!

 

it had better be a full and complete motor with computer ...

cdi unit, all sensors and complete exhaust system, bell housing , AFM ,starter motor, gearbox.wireing, engine mounts. Thats i think about it.

You will lose a bit of hourse power and a lot of torque.

BTW you can get a DETT motor shipped down from cresta for under $1500 dollars.

not the vg30et vg30det it's not from the z31 it's some other jap car engine

specs are only 10 hp and 10 foot pounds of torque lower 270hp and 270fp it was used in the nissan cima and with the turbos i already have it would be identical to the dett ie same bottom end but thats all i know about it just wondering if anyone knows more also this info came from this chart
nissan motor matrix (it's the one at the bottom)

 

can't imagine you'd save much

once you finally got everything sorted. how would you work the piping for the two turbos to the single intake?

some differences:
block is different
forged crankshaft
pistons/conrods different
VVT

can probably get a vg30dett for $2500 or so, and by the time you fit the vg30det, it would probably cost as much if not more.

 

more info what shell are you putting it in to?

 

easy and cheap

a old intercooler from a gtr skyline i can get the plumbing for about 90$ for the single or a plenum swap if needed its better than 2500$ for a vg30dett from anywhere in adelaide and nobody will seperate the extras e.g.ps pump,altenator from the motor and thats the best price i can get without ordering interstate and paying an assload in freight

 

how would it be different if the bore and stroke are the same

and both are turbo motors with vvt

 

here is a pic of a cima motor

Stroke, mm 83

 

Thanks for the suggestions/info

 

Mayube you could swap upper and lower plenums?

and keep the old turbos?

 

well i don't know about the cima engine, i

assumed you were talking about the z31 engine.

my suggestion is you get the $1500 cresta engine.

 

vg30det

I checked out one of these engines 18 months ago with a view to sticking one into a MGBGT, The engine I looked at was from a Nissan Leopard, single turbo NOT intercooled,From memory the engine had same spec's,Lower compression, etc. as a DETT, only inlet/turbo exhaust was different.Don't know if it had an oil cooler.A good wrecker should be able to do a comparison for you.Line both of them up on the floor.- The single turbo(passengers side) made it too big for the MG,I went for a DE,Higher comp without the turbo and by getting rid of steer,aircon, and relocating the alternator it can be shoehorned into a MG. YEE HA!

 

Look at where they put the igniter on that cima engine!!!

could not find a hotter spot if they planned it!!!:wacko:

 

I don't think that's factory. I've got a Cima parked outside

and I don't remember seeing the PTU there, I would have remembered if I did (cause I'm in complete agreeance Russ ). That might have been put there later as that's also not a Cima engine bay. VG30DET also came in late model Japanese Z31's and Leapards, might have been an option for Glorias (which share the same chassis as a FPAY31 Cima) but don't quote me on that.... it's late

have a look at the grill...its a datto 1800 .

 

yes that was the intention and the comp ratio is the exact same

 

No, is not plug & play...heads/lower + upper intake are different

I looked into this as well.
VG30DET bottom end is the same, so if you have a good set of heads from a TT you could basically use it.
To fit the lower intake from a VG30DETT to the VG30DET you need to machine the VG30DET heads.
