If it is a 90+, it most likely isn't worth it. There is alot to fabricate and modify. I've heard of people doing the VG30ET swap but don't know if it ever worked. As for the VG30DE, there is barely enough room in the Z32 let alone a 240sx.

LOL! Me too.

On a side note... that engine isn't turbo'd, is it?  I know that it is missing some stuff, like the intake manifold, and most of the intake piping, but I'm just not seeing a turbo manifold.  If thats not turbo... there's really no point in putting it in.  160hp and 173 ft/lbs of torque, in an engine that weighs really close to 500 pounds.  Dude.. get an exhaust and intake, you'll make that power in a second.

Why a non-turbo?!?!?!?!

either turbo your KA24 or get a SR20DET, or if you want to, get the VG30DETT, just be prepared to do the hardtime, on the engine bay, it'll fit just MAKE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
