The VG30DETT like many Japanese engines of the era is pretty stoutly overbuilt in stock form, making it an excellent candidate for wringing high power levels out of it.

Is the VG30DETT motor a good motor?

The VG30DETT is an exceptionally strong motor but we will have to do some in-depth rework of its internals to reliably make big power on a regular basis. Getting an already powerful engine to double its specific output is asking a lot, even from the most stout of stock units.

How big is the bore on a VG30DETT?

In this article we’ll cover the technical nitty gritty of the engine and its original development goals. The VG30DETT is 2960cc in capacity, with an over-square bore/stroke relationship of 87 and 83mm, respectively. The combustion chambers are of a pent-roof design, with the spark plugs positioned close to the bore centre.

Which is stiffer a VG30DE or Vg 30dett?

The VG30DETT crank is 10 per cent stiffer than that fitted to the VG30DE. The sump was also reconfigured, with an oil guiding plate designed to return oil scooped up by the crankshaft counterweights back to the deep section of the pan.

What kind of engine does a VG30DETT have?

VG30DETT featured an iron block with aluminum heads, which made the motor rather robust to cope with the increased power, produced by twin turbochargers. Moreover, owners of these engines state that they can be very durable if proper maintenance is provided.

Is the Nissan VG30DETT still a good car?

All though the VG30DETT has been overshadowed by its younger bother the VQ family whose better cylinder heads and lighter construction make it a real powerhouse in the 350Z, 370Z and GT-R, the old dog VG30DETT can still hold its own and pull some impressive power number when modded.

Why are the rear cylinders of the Nissan VG running hot?

This is why the VG is known to have the rear cylinders run hot and why the rear cylinders suffer detonation damage first. Clark Steppler of Jim Wolf Technology checked our block with an ultrasonic thickness gauge to make sure that our block had enough meat to support our big bore intentions.
