1. can you transplant the turbo and manifolds and piping from a vg30et onto an N/A Z31

My A: Yes it would be the same as transplanting it into a N/A Z you would be better off putting a whole new VG30ET in there then adding the turbo parts to your n/a engine. A VG30ET can be bought for not much money.

2. is the transmission the same as the turbo Z31, and how much abuse will it take

My A:Most likely came with the T5 tranny which could handle a resonable amount of torque. I know Z32 tranny's have been hooked up to Z31's before.

3. what kind of rear end would be on the N/A Z31 (I would assume r200 VLSD?)

My A:I'm horrible in remembering LSD names, If i remeber right the LSD off the 88' AE 300ZX is the most desirable.

4. is the vg30dett a direct swap into a z31 (and how much work is required)

My A: It would be hard as ####!!!!! Really hard!!!!!!

5. is a DOHC head transplant a possibility, better yet, feasible

My A: Nope, i don't see that happening nor is it feasible.

6. how much HP can you get ouf of a vg30e without internals and headwork (just the basic boltons)

My A: 200HP no nitrous.

7. how much hp can you get out of a vg30et without cracking the sucker open

My A: Good question I have heard of alot of power coming out of them I would say over 300 HP but don't quote me.

For some more answers on the VG30E(T) try www.zcar.com the 84-89 forum obviously. IMHO the S12 is Ugly as all #### you would be better off starting with a Z31 turbo to begin with.
