they did make a vg30det you know? granted we didnt get it here. If you're going from NA to a single turbo (i assume) then i guess you could go this route. You'd have to wait for Epstein's expert opinion.

Packaging. Where are you going to put this turbo. It'll probably be a GT30-sized unit to make it worth while. The piping will also be non-trivial. The VG30ET's have a rear crossover tube that isn't exactly the best way to do it, and I don't think will fit a DE arrangement. I'd almost say do a rear-mounted STS setup. All of this would probably cost more than ANY non-turbo Z is worth.

Hey Shin, I think you're remembering the VQ30DET that Japan got. MMM factory turbo VQ. Same BS crossover tube, though.

BTW, GM did a bunch of single turbo V6's decades ago. Typhoon, Syclone, Turbo T/A, GN/T-Type. Not saying that it's the right way to go... just saying.

^ naw the early 90s cedrics/glorias had VG30det engines as well as the m30 leopard. only reason i know this is from talking to the same kid with the 3sgte Altezza. They had a single throttle body too VG30det (rare): Engine / Drivetrain (for sale): Nissan Forums / Infiniti Forums - NICOclub
