Thisoneguyinaz Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 (edited) /> As the title says I'm looking to start an engine build. Here is my dilemma... I want to use a carburetor or a holley projection 2d on a pathfinder tbi intake converted for the holley size carb. My issues are 1. I don't know what distributor to use. 2. Do I use msd 6al ignition? Will this solve the need for a vacuum advance on the distributor? 3. Can I rip nissans Ecu/wiring out after the conversion? Also can someone point me in the direction of the best set of cams for NA torque? As well as the related parts I would need to upgrade the vg33e. Thanks guys!

Leo94 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 1.Carburetor on a VG30 I'm assuming you are going to use the experimental engineering intake manifold? They also have the six bolt crank pulley adapter so you can use your vg30 accessories on the vg33. The cheapest option of cams would be to use the vg30e cams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thisoneguyinaz Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share Posted August 13, 2013 I'm not worried about the price of the cams, the lopier the idle the better for my application. =) And yes I was talking about the experimental engineering intake. Thanks for the info on that adapter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thisoneguyinaz Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share Posted August 13, 2013 I like how your engine is set up, but I think I'm leaning towards the tbi setup. I also like that intake that's nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thisoneguyinaz Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share Posted August 13, 2013 I guess my main question now is if I have msd 6al ignition and coil can I use a tbi and keep the factory nissan distributor? And then take out all of nissans wiring and ecu crap? Or will it effect my gauges? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo94 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 That's not my setup it's James'. Wait so you don't want to have a carburetor then? I like how your engine is set up, but I think I'm leaning towards the tbi setup. I also like that intake that's nice! I guess my main question now is if I have msd 6al ignition and coil can I use a tbi and keep the factory nissan distributor? And then take out all of nissans wiring and ecu crap? Or will it effect my gauges? So you just want to upgrade your coil pack right? from what i've heard there isn't much point in upgrading your coil pack as the factory one is plenty strong but if you are still set on doing so this should help. If you are keeping the tbi and nissan distributor why would you want to remove the nissan wiring and how would you run the tbi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thisoneguyinaz Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 I've looked over a few things. And I think I'm going to go with a carburetor after all, here is the twist. I have a set of 300zx turbo manifolds from a vg30et. I'm going to mod a holley 2300 for blow thru use. So with the question I have is since I'm using a carb do I have to change the distributor or will the nissan coil and distributor work off of a msd 6al box? Once I figure out everything I will need I'll post a build list. I hope to start working on this before Christmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thisoneguyinaz Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 So I was bored today and decided to make the mock up carby upper plenum. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
