VG30i intake measurements needed

Recommended Posts

To be specific I need the measurements for where the throttle body sits, I don't want to take off the throttle body to measure as of yet, I'd prefer if someone is possibly rebuilding one of these motors and has the intake off to measure lengthwise and widthwise I'm not worried about the offset of the two sets of holes just need a measurement like for example (3" by 4"). I'm planning to custom fabricate an aluminum plate to sit on top of the intake for a carburetor swap. Any help is thanked for in advance.

There is only one hole in the intake around 2.5". four bolts but not evenly placed.

Just buy one of these.

Only problem is the mounting plate is so low that you will have to cut off a couple of ears on the throttle linkage on the carb to clear the valve cover. You can use a spacer but will probably not get as much low end as with the carb lower.

As for the distributor some guys left everything else like it was and let the ECU run the distributor like the injection was still there. I'm working with a company to build a modified chevy HEI distributor for a VG. They are kind of slow though.

Keep this in mind if you plan on purchasing this.


 

Core policy: Because this intake manifold was built from a stock TBI core I require the purchaser to ship me a good condition VG30 TBI intake manifold prior to my shipping this part. I do not charge a 'core charge', I simply hold the intake until the core arrives and is checked for damage. If you do not have a TBI intake core to ship you may have a wrecking yard ship one directly to me. VG30 TBI intake manifolds can be found on '86.5-'89 Nissan pickups and Pathfinders. These are easy to spot in wrecking yards as they are the only Nissan V6s with a large round air cleaner centered over the engine. I only need the bare manifold casting but am happy to remove the studs and any other components that are still attached. Do not attempt to remove either of the pressed-in steel tubes!

Lucky you are: VG30i TBI studs pattern.

A trapezium, large base // to small base, symetric, axis square w/middle of bases.

Dimensions in mm 113, 95, 88, 52, stud diameter 8. All dimension external remove one diameter for drilling!!

Not sure about the English terminology but you should find your way with the pics under.

Hope this help.

Philippe.
