rickpyle13 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Hey all. I've got a 96 r50 with a blown engine. Is it possible to put in a vg30 while I rebuild my vg33e? I'm hoping I could without swapping ecus and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebelord Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Probably not. As they had different ECU and other sensors. If you need a temp engine. Try to find a cheap long block at a junk yard or craigslist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I don't see why you couldn't. People swap in the vg33 into the wd21 all the time. I probably wouldn't want to though. Less power. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I dunno, might be more motivation to get the VG33 rebuilt! The crank pulley might be a PITA though, I know there's an adapter for putting the VG30E crank pulley on a VG33E, but I don't know if anyone's done the opposite.
