i knew that the fuelmanagement is a part of any engine build, but what i dont know is the limits of certin engines,

the only issue i see with a turbo ka is the fact of it having to be built before i reach my power goals, as of right now it seems that the vg is a stronger engine in stock form.

From what I'm aware of, you are correct in that statement. Reason Nissan favored the VG over any engine in the late 80's and most of the 90's for most of their lineup. It was the work horse of Nissan.

I can attest that the VG is a very good motor. One of my Z31s, the 86 N/A has about 205k miles on it and it runs flawlessly. I know a guy with an 86 Turbo with nearly 400k miles on the original motor. I also know another guy who made it to about 320k miles in his 86T.

for 275whp? it really doesnt have to be a built motor. i would just be really conservative with ignition maps, for reliability

what does the vg redline at and what does the ka

rageJan 23, 2009, 5:16 pm · #57

stock redline for vg is 6000rpms
stock s13 ka redline is 6900rpms, s14 redline is 6400rpms, due to shitty cams

I have drove both ka24de and a vg30e. I have to say the vg30e had allot more torque. was smoother, and probably a little faster.

i personally wouldnt run nitrous on a d.d. unless i wanted to blow it up lol

if anything, id be interested in a 25-50 shot to help spool, but i dont think thats an issue with a n/a to turbo setup

I really hope you do the supercharger, because a lot of people have talked about it, and few have actually done more than talk.

s12godJan 27, 2009, 2:02 am · #70

Ya at one time I was going to build a er but I'm sticking to my vg30e. Maybe a vg33et later. I think a m90 might be a bit of a over kill. Just get new pulleys.

i am dont worry i plan on it unless i descide to trade for a rb20det swaped s13 straight up for my car.... But i doubt i will because i dont want to do something i will regret. on the 7th i hope to to set up the build thread.
