turbo your vg30 terrano
hey guys im just after your views on putting a vg30dett into my terrano or just adding turbos to standard v6? could this be done just thinking about it prob wont do it just a idea 

Re: turbo your vg30 terrano
Id imagine youd be better of using the Turbo manifolds etc from an earlier 300zx, the single Turbo model. Possibly blow your cvs to bits if thrashed.
Re: turbo your vg30 terrano
Do some google searching, theres some good information about putting 300zx vg30dett engines into terranos. It isnt a 5minute job, and I wouldn't reccomend as a first engine swap, but would be cool conversion!
Re: turbo your vg30 terrano
There was one for sale on trade me a couple of weeks ago. Looked like a good install. Most popular is the VG33 transplant.

Re: turbo your vg30 terrano
can't give much info on the vg30 from the terrano but as far as twin turbo's go i'd avoid them like the plague. First thing you always do with a performance car is rip out the twin turbos and birds nest of solinoids and vac hoses and make a simple manifold up with a decent sized single turbo. Thats they way i'd be going with it.
Never argue with an idiot, they drag you down to their level then beat you with experiance!

Re: turbo your vg30 terrano
try the usa frontier forums.
nissan D22 came out with VG33E and Frontier also had VG33ER (supercharged).

I would turbo the stock engine..
Bigish turbo with low boost.

Re: turbo your vg30 terrano
If you were offroading it I'd go with the supercharger due to the power output being throughout the rev range. And esp if you can get one that just bolts straight on. Strong NZ dollar the moment makes it less painful too.
