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?

Yeah IDK. I'm glad I already have a z32 with the TT swap already done.

eh, A z32 is nothing but a pain in the ass to work on IMO, If I ever get a new car, its gonna be an S14.....other than that....very good advice indeed lol.

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.

Or.....

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

If only...damn I wish I had the cash. That way I could keep to my DSM ways in a sense and have a spare motor/tranny on hand. Haha.
