VG30DE-TT in A 240sx s13 hatch wat do u think?
or should i go sr20

[chituntang]

If you are going with VG, you may as well go bigger, like LS1s. Or just go SR with bigger turbo.

[JessAlba452]

Yes LS1 power! :D

Don't do the VQ30 - TT that motor is just a pain in the butt...all VQs are tough to mod.

[NevrNufTorq]

ls1,2, or 7. only other option would be a 2j!!!!! either way you can mod all you want and make anywhere from 350-1000 whp! :crazy: :2cents:

boosted LS motor and be done with it...the VQ is not worth it

LS1 = :no: That motor is sooo heavy. There are better V8's to swap.

[JessAlba452]

Hmm there is lots of room! Stronger motor lighter shell = FTW ;)

Just used to seeing the VGTT in a 300zx and it looks jam packed in there.

Thanks for the pic.

ls1 is the same if not less weight than a sr20. ive been thinkin about ls1 240 myself.

VG > VQ

the VG's have potential as well, and they don't even cost an arm and a leg, I'd much rather have a VG than an SR, they go for about the same price, but the swap is a lot more involved. At the end of the day the VG is going to cost you more, I think you need a custom driveshaft made, swap over a lot of stuff etc... but i'd much rather have that than an SR... with boltons, a fuel pump, and a tune you can make close to 400whp

That may be. But cost is also a factor, and a Caddilac engine can be built cheaper. Plus Caddilac motors are easy to come by. Thats all I'm saying, but everyone I ever hear he wants to do a V8 swap does an LS1. People need to think for themselves.

Edit: Also when I was talking about weight I may have been thinking about an LT1 not LS1.

[BTLFED]

You must have been thinking of the LT1.

[Kyle]

You must have been thinking of the LT1.
Yeah I got confused. The car club at tech is talking about V8 swaps, I guess I didnt retian everything.

[BTLFED]

LOL @ Kyle

I'll give you an A for effort though :lmfao:

You can get a caddy motor cheaper at a junkyard, but I can appreciate you being brand loyal.
