ThatOneNissanGuy Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 So,I have replaced my clutch and fixed oil leak, after that,I did mid muffler delete (performance mid muffler coming soon) and now... I'm thinking of adding a turbo to it, its a vg its gonna be hard to find turbo for it but knowing these engines are based on vg30e and vg30et its kinda easy, the thing is shes a tired old girl with 258k miles so maybe replacing cams and pistons would be good before boosting it I also know these engines don't have the best compression for boost and that they're interference engine but I'm trying to build a unique path one that's kinda cursed, I have seen turbo vq paths but vg33 turbo? I have never I thought of stancing it but when I saw how it looked I decided that I wouldn't,what I will do is add a more "street" bodykit with a front lip,side skirts and rear lip that are not exaggerated I want a fast nice looking path and obviously.. painting her, the sun in California and specially (as I'm Mexican) Baja is very strong and the entire driver's side paint is gone its just metal,It needs more than paint it needs to be fully restored, for interior mods, I live the silvia like interior all I will make is fix steering wheel as its worn, driver seat and the top of the dashboard, all I've done is maintenance (fixed oil leak,clutch,coolant reservoir and changing oil,spark plugs,timing belt,coolant and that's really it other than brake and tire maintenance) and added mid muffler delete any ideas of what I should do it are accepted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatOneNissanGuy Posted March 23 Author Share Posted March 23 All this work was done in 6 months,from fully fixing rear and front main seal oil leak (took 1 day as its the first time working on a vg) and well all this was done with hand tools, its like 50 things or more I've done mostly mechanical 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan6351 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 The VG30 was twin-turboed in the 300ZX - not sure how well that translates over to the vg33 but I suspect it's been done. You may also want to see if you can find a supercharged VG33 - these were available as an option on Frontiers and Xterras in the early 2000s, called the "VG33ER" motor. Good work on all this! About to do a timing belt and water pump + front seals on my VG30 next weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 People have swapped VG33s into turbo 300ZXs. Find their build threads, copy their homework. Should be easier for you given the engine's already in the truck, so you don't have to mess with the pan and whatnot. Not sure what options are available for tuning the R50 ECU or how best to get it running off a standalone. I don't think I've seen a turbo 3.3 R50. 2milehi turbo'd a VG30 WD21 (and sold it to snowboard419). There was a guy on here who turbo'd a 3.5 R50, but IIRC his transmission was not happy about it. There's also a guy on the Farcebook page (not sure if he's on here?) who's got some crazy super turbo system going on, on an Xterra if I remember right. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
