Vg20e

Hey, does anyone here know much about the VG20E? i was thinking i could build a twin turbo VG20E, cause im guessing it would be physicly smaller than a VG30E? also it turns out i could proberly source one from a 2.0L Maxima... so if i could pick up a 2.0L maxima wreck it would have gearbox etc...

Any Thoughts?

I don\'t know much of anything about it, however I wouldn\'t count on it being physically smaller than the VG30E, usually engines within the same family use the same basic block, the 2 liter version probably just has smaller bores, and shorter stroke.  The external dimensions of the block are probably the same.

Go Vg20et. True 200sx Turbo. Isnt There A Vg20de Nah Im Mistaken As Soon As I Typed It It Looked Kinda Weird Im Thinken Of The 30de Oops. That Would Be Hella Sweet. IL FIND SOME INFO BUT FROM WHAT MAXIMA 92-95 COME WITH VG30E AND THERE FWD AND THE SE\'S COME WITH DOHC VE30DE ENGINES SO THERE BOTH FWD AND DIDN\'T THE OLDER MAXIMA\'S COME WITH L-6 ENGINES.

SheppS12 is in Australia - they get different motors over there sometimes compared to what we get in the states.
 
The VG20 may actually be smaller than a VG30. I know the VH41 is a little over 1 inch narrower than the VH45 at it\'s widest point (heads). Not sure if the difference is in the heads or the block.

the best case would be that its got a shorter deck

My little brother has a VG20et sitting in the shed, from what I gather it is identical to the 30 bar the bore and stroke dimensions. And from what I remember of it (it\'s been covered up in the corner for more than a couple of years now) it shares the inlet plenum etc as well.

thanks for the info!

I know the VG20ET was avalible in aus in the turbo charged maximas of the 80\'s, so was thinking if a VG20ETT would fit in the S12...

Thanks for the input!
