VG30 into 620, is it possible?

[Willdatsun]

Wondered about what engines people have managed to put into 620s, I'm thinking of doing something with one at some point. I have put VG30s into a couple of large easy vehicles but whats it like putting one in a 620? NA or TUrbo? Would a pathfinder plenum have to be used for example? CUstom extractors? Custom built sump?

 

Wiring and plumbing I am OK with.

 

THanks!

A Lamborghini v12 it technically possible.... just depends on your skills and how much you want to spend.

 

But from what i remember the pathfinder plenum, i thing the pathfinder oilpan works with just bumping it in a bit... i remember the mounts were completely custom. I remember it was really tight, and it was only a n/a block... the headers were the most modified pieces of the install...

 

I honestly cannot tell you from experience... i will try and find the thread and post it here

That was Yello620 at Canby. Was a lot of work and research from what I recall.

Most guys do not carefully select the best sump from among all the ones available. Probably there is a combo that fits relatively easy in a 620, but who knows? The engine bay is the right size.

figure if a vg30 will fit into a 521, a 620 should be much easier

The lack of strut towers on a 620 is offset by torsion bars and one piece steering column. Do-able and there is a frame and more ground clearance for the pan and the rear end will easily handle it.

I sure is possible. I used a vg30e from a 1984 300zx z31. I used a front sump from a nissan maxima and had to modify the starter motor.
