hey guys,

 

i was hoping some one could tell me if the carb used on the vg30 is the same as the carb on the 720 z24 engines ??

 

thank you

I don't think so, the z24 was actually a z24i, whereas it depends what vg30 you're getting it from if im correct, because there was the vg30i and the vg30e, oh yeah, just to clarify, its a throttle body vs a carb, although it is very similar.

 

I don't think a vg30i would work, because I believe they used an air box vs a circular air filter on top, and idk if it would serve the correct purpose

[zanegrey]

the 720 does have a carb which makes the z24 engine just that a z24 (not i )

 

did any of the earlier vg30 have carbs?

 

i know they have the tbi then multi port injection later...

 

 

thanks

A good overview of the VG series engines

[Kingman]

The VG30I uses a Hitachi throttle body with 2 Bosch JL-tronic fuel injectors mounted on top.

just to free up some confusion; the TBI(not MPFI) z24 & vg30 had round airboxes/filters that sat right ontop of the TBI unit giving the impression of a carb.

the z24i and vg30i used the same throttle body & injectors but the airbox on the z24i was smaller.

Nissan Motorsport provided a carb dor the VG30 a long time ago when they were racing that engine. It required a new intake manifold as well but they are no longer available.
