Holy fuck 10K your kidding right? Yes it is a stock engine, that is built to take boost. VG30DE's are gonna run you about the same exact price and you will have to build it to handle boost. Snag up a ZTT motor and tranny for about 1500$ and start from there.well, 10K was an example, and I do agree. Im only saying that its not really worth it in my opinion, you have a Z32 so you can agree with the limited engine space and if you really wanna do some hardcore modifications the engine needs to come out....more than once.

I wouldn't mind doing a boosted VQ swap after learning a little more about it today. But I think I'm still going to stick with my VG30DETT.Also, a complete VG30DETT is roughly 1500 on osaka.
yep, the engine is....but really does depend on how you do all the fabricating and stuff.

wouldn't the VG30DETT be a direct swap into a z31?not anywhere close my friend...lots of modifications needed to the engine bay...its the transmission that I believe is a direct fit.

Guys, My buddy has a jdm vg30dett, tranny, wiring harness, and intercooler sittin in his garage on a pallet and he wants $1200 for the works. I dont want to do that swap even though it would be the best bang for my buck because of the wiring. The harness on the motor is insanely complicated and hardly any of it matches up w/ the current wiring in the car. Fabrication isn't the problem, wiring is. The 4g63 and the sr20 have very simple wiring set ups so i wil more then likely go with one of those.

spend 2 hrs wiring in a standalone of your choice on the vg30........ and be 1000x's better off
there is nothing to wiring in a standalone with a flying lead harness

That way I could keep to my DSM ways in a sense and have a spare motor/tranny on hand. Haha.
