Gonna get a 3sge head for it one day... if not a 3sgte head

 

Huh, someone is making pistons for that huh?

 

It was discovered that nissan vg30de pistons slap right in them and raise conpression

But people make special pistons to put 3sgte heads on them as well

 

VG30DE hmm, don't use DET pistons they're lower compression haha. Well that's an oddball combo but I like the ingenuity. You'll likely want a standalone at some point, stock timing will be piss poor at high comp without proper fueling

 

Don't miss my VG's and having to do timing belts on every one I acquired.

 

The idea is to manage the stock engine with a standalone that way its set up properly... less guesswork when new engine is ready

 

I can do a timing job on a VG30E in about an hour. But the VG30DE is a pain, I don’t like that engine

 

See, I found the Z31 series to be easy as well so when I jumped into a Z32 and it was a whole different animal.

Then again, LT1/4 spark plugs on the rear driver (cyl 6 and 8) are an even bigger pain in the ass with stock headers so....I'd rather do the TB on a VG30DE.

@Wulf

You said you bought that HF welding table too right?

 

yuppers

 

Weld a larger plate to it for MOAR SURFAC AREAZ





I only tacked mine, but it ain't going anywhere.

I need to either make a "U" out of 1" square tubing to weld underneath of the overhang or angle iron for reinforcement. This way it'll help with warping even though most welding will be done in the center.

 

noice, that's a pretty good idea

 

nice work but the dad in me is throwing red flags for the corners... screams head injury and blood.

lol

 

Not that the surface area wasn't enough, but I couldn't think of a better way to use this plate.

 

well... if you ever find another use for it you'll know exactly where to find it

 

Yeah that's once I reinforce it, I'll hit the edges and corners with a flap disc.

My angle grinder is at work

 

Right?
