Hello i have found a 300zx that i wish to purchase and the only prob is that its a NON turbo :( its a swb manual and i have found a gorgeous VG30DETT engine that i wish to throw into her!

 

Now i have the mechanical skills of a dead fish so i would need somebody to fit the mean machine for me!Just searching around for quotes of prices of anybody willing to fit it for me!

 

Car has 12months MOT so rest of her should be fine just wan2 swap the engine!Previous engine has 78,000miles on the clock so this engine would be up for sale too if anybody wishes to purchase!

 

But nothing is for certain yet as based on Quote prices will determine whether i go ahead with the car as its alot of bother especially if i have just bought the car :P

 

Anyone suggestions, quotes and recommendations are welcome plus any other car parts needed to get the job done please let me know as i dont know :D

 

Thanks

There's a lot more to a TT than just the engine mate. Have you got the intercoolers, piping,etc as well? I'm not sure exactly what you would need but there's plenty of differences and its more than just dropping a different engine in. You'd be much better off buying a decent condition TT with a knackered engine and droping the new one into that.

Like he says, it's not just the engine.

 

I was quoted £2000 for labour to do a decent job.

Think the advise already given, is the way to go........

above is an article how to do it, alot of work involved,

 

good luck mate

you'd either need a tt gearbox or an adaptor plate too. people have done the N/A to tt swap so don't get put off, just be aware that there is more to it than just dropping a tt lump in.

 

good luck mate.

 

by the way the N/A is a pretty good car!! (i have one :D) cheaper on the insurance than a jap tt and arguably more reliable ;)
