I posted these a couple years ago on the old board. Im doing a similar setup this winter.

man that is confusing. are you sure this will work? i think for our cars since we dont have as much room in the front as a z31, we need to cut the front bar and i have no idea where the fan is gonna go. a great amount of heat is gonna be created in the front of the engine. but if you found out a way to do it then let us know, or just me.

Only time will tell.

Wow that is pretty cool. But it will be a bitch getting it to fit

why not just use 2 small turbos to fit.. might be easier then one large one..

does anyone know if the z31 vg30et engine will fit a drop in into our car?

if not does anyone know where i can get a used low mile 87-88 200sx vg30e engine? my engine is giving out.

Nope. The oil pan (rear sump) ours are front, intake manifold (too long) hits the fire wall, and the exaust mani (hits the fire wall) wont let it fit.

Yeah.. I do have acess to gtr twins but I don't like the way the charge pipes would be routed for my gtr front mount. still debating on it. I like a clean and simple charge pipes.

You would need an SE intake, exhaust manifold and oil pan. Other than that it will fit fine. It is not a straight swap, but the engine is basically the same.
