We build a forged VG30 with a thumping great Garret turbo on the side
The Engine Build you've been waiting for! Rebuilt, forged, turbo charged and ready for racing, our VG30 engine is back together and stronger than ever! This new combination is going to perfect for the upcoming Challenge Bathurst event where our 300zx racecar will be tackling Mount Panorama.

Omg I can just imagine the work and time… but I can also imagine the pain from and exhaust leak or having to change out the turbo etc. Still a great build I wonder how it goes. I’ve converted mine into the easiest 300 to work on and those BDE top rails are king for injector replacements.

@grouphistorics138 2 жыл бұрын

The BDE rails are magic aren’t they! Thankfully in our case turbo replacement is very easy and using v band throughout the only real problem area from exhaust leaks are the header to manifold gaskets. Which aren’t actually that painful in the Z31 engine bay in our configuration

Nice clip! Ever try doing copper head gaskets for an EJ boxer motor? I know they're a pain because of the water jackets, exhaust sealant to the max. Would love to see how you'd do that. Cheers. Edit: Meant for decomp 2mm lol.

Did you quench the knock by putting the car on e85? I know it works on vg30de turbos because high compression creates knock but e85 solves that

Is that just a mock up location for the turbos? That oil drain would require a scavenge pump

I would love to put a vg30det in my Z31. I’m curious how much work it Tom making this all come together

@SparesboxAuto 2 жыл бұрын

Hey mate! At a high level, we used the z32 engine and gearbox, z31 trans mount, z32 ally engine mounts with rubber mounts from an e30 BMW to sit the engine lower (also cut the skeleton out of the hood above the engine. Like that it just bolted in. Tail shaft is a two piece from Daniels engineering using a centre bearing from a VL commodore, wiring was done using a haltech Elite 2000 with the plug and play z32 harness, along with a replacement z32 engine harness from wiring specialities which we spliced into the z31. Clutch hydraulics is all still Z31.

Hey guys. Fyi the vg30det does not just relate to single turbo. They have a different style heads and intake + exhaust manifolds. Hopefully with the engine apart you cleaned all the flashing out of the coolant gallery through the block. Also didn't see if you did or not but tack the bolts of the counterweight on. Also if they were mls gaskets put a coolant pressure sensor on it. I have had nothing but dramas with them and gone back to a stock style gasket. If you are interested i got my vg30 videos on this channel.

@SparesboxAuto 2 жыл бұрын

We just had a look, impressive stuff! The DET, was an oversight, as per the title, it is of course a DETT. We certainly did, a good friend who’s into VGs actually mention it to us as well before we started the build. Once I saw how bad the flashing was there was no way it was staying. Interesting note about issues with MLS gaskets, I’ll heed the warning and fit a pressure sensor, Cheers mate!

@rwpracing837 2 жыл бұрын

@@SparesboxAuto good shit. Yeah the mls seem to be hit and miss. Once power is made everyone goes back to stock or exotic gaskets. The cometic ones lasted a little while on my engine but eventually leaked between the layers. And tomei usa it is a well known fact quailty isnt there. Fresh surfaces and didn't seal at all. Stock can be hard to find these days but i get head gaskets made from gasket solutions in qld.

@yosvanirodriguez7499 2 жыл бұрын

I second issues with MLS gaskets. VGs just don’t seem to like them, it’s generally accepted in the 300zx community that the best head gasket for these engines are OEM. Sick build guys, looks crazy!

You're not wrong. I was racing mine at Manfield (NZ) and melted a piston. After tearing it down for a rebuild I noticed so much casting slag in the number 6 water feed that I couldn't even get the tip of my pinky in the tiny hole. After much gnashing of teeth and skinned knuckles, I managed to open the whole water system up with a die grinder.

Why single turbo?

@grouphistorics138 2 жыл бұрын

A multitude of factors, besides us wanting to showcase a few of the awesome products sparesbox has on offer like the Garrett turbo (which for sparesbox is a key component, we also had the turbo on a shelf waiting for a project it might suit) up it also removed a lot of complexity and made it a surprisingly easy car to work on. Additional benefit was obviously trying to make an interesting video and do things a little differently. Keeping the factory TT arrangement was heavily considered however and the car would’ve been completely capable with it.
