Kyle94 Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Is this going to be turbo? Has any mods been done to the engine? or is it just stock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tungsten Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 So I am gearing up for an install of a 300 hp vg30de n/a Sorry to burst your bubble but unless that motor is seriously modded, you cannot get 300 hp from just the DE alone. The stock output for a N/A DE is 222 hp and 198 ft/lbs of torque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nismopathy93 Posted October 3, 2012 Author Share Posted October 3, 2012 It has turbo heads on it and huge pistons it is very well built and will have a custom tune on the computer once it hits the dyno so yes it can hit the 300 mark and no kyle no turbos possibly a super charger down the road but not right away! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingman Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 What's the compression ratio? Cams? How bored over? That's gonna be a mean little truck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Very nice! Even bone stock, that would be a good upgrade from the VG30. I look forward to seeing you having it on (and off) the road. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nismopathy93 Posted October 4, 2012 Author Share Posted October 4, 2012 What's the compression ratio? Cams? How bored over? That's gonna be a mean little truck! compression is 10.5:1 and the cams are 5sp cams and the bore is stock. Here is a few more pics of the future my 200 dollar hp dana 60 that needs sw outters still the 40 mtrs for mock up future will bring new 39.5 pitbulls the motor on my engine stand and the pathy.

Tungsten Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 (edited) In that case, it's a really good swap. I like it. The DEs have some really nice looking heads. You would also get the advantage of playing with variable timing along with some other goodies like coil on plug ignition. The only part that's kind of a detriment to the VG30DE is they have 1 less bolt per cylinder for the head than the VG30E. The VG30DE has 4 where the VG30E has 5. Then you might run into trouble of getting it to clear the narrow engine bay properly but it has been done before. Good luck with the swap.

nismopathy93 Posted October 4, 2012 Author Share Posted October 4, 2012 thanks man it should be fun when it is done we are gonna throw it up on the dyno and put a custom tune on the computer to squeeze out as much power as we can!!! I can not wait til its in and running!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nismopathy93 Posted October 7, 2012 Author Share Posted October 7, 2012 made some progress this morning I got the dually 60 switched over to single wheel and bolted the 40s on it and set the pathy down on it I still have to cut the hanger off and widen it out to fit the full with axle but its rolling again. I am gonna put new springs on and when I do I will move the center pin back 1.5 inches also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyC Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 What are the trails like in your area that you can fit a full width setup on?! I guess I'm asking what kind of terrain is your build directed at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nismopathy93 Posted October 7, 2012 Author Share Posted October 7, 2012 I wheel at browns camp in the tfs mostly and there is full width rigs there all the time I just wanted some thing differnt. I may decide to narrow the stuff down the road but I have never ran full size before so I just thought what the hell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nismopathy93 Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 Finally got after a bit of pathy work today. I started grinding on my dana 60 sorry no pics tonight but there will be some tomorrow I just about have the long side C ready to beat off and then I can cut the 4 1/2 inches off it and weld it back together. Plus I have my wheel adapters for the rear so I can convert from 6 to 8 lug and slap them 40s on the back to see where to start cutting the body!!

nismopathy93 Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 Well after a long bit of grinding and beating with a huge hammer i got my C off now i can cut my tube off and reinstall it!! Seems like a ton of work for four and a half inches. While tearing down the axle i found that the bearings in the bottom never saw a grease gun from the prior owner so its a kingpin rebuild kit for this guy!!
