turbo a 1987 200sx se vg30e

That's probably what I will do. I have some 90s Maxima exhaust manifolds that might work in that fashion.

Curb Weight (fully loaded):............2975 lbs

The Net Weight should be 300+lbs less putting it into the 2600ish range.

I think the 200sxse (V6) put on weight. I have the car and driver magazine from 1987 and they make a big deal about the weight gain. They claim a 3.70 rear but I believe that was never made. Every 200sxse I have seen is 3.90.

I have deleted the complete AC system as well as many other small items. I am thinking of gutting out the interior also and making it a 'truck-bed' in the back! I also want to re-arrange the battery and any other weight to the back. I have a tow hitch for the car too! I use this thing like whore.

Its a fun car and I have owned it since 1994 or so. It will not be sold to another person. It will die with me or I will watch it get crushed personally.

what were the number stampings on the ring gears of all of the SE's rearends? Both of mine were 37:9. I would have thought that all of them were the same. Seeing as to how I had a 87 and a 88 I cant see how any others would be different.

Yeah, I am pretty sure seeing at least a dozen 200sxse in person (junkyard or looking at the chrome engine plates). I know mcx changed his 3.90 out for a 3.5 300zx unit. I will ask him.

I would like to go 3.70 since so many 300zx are in the yards. My car has so much torque now and the gas mileage would improve.

HAHAHA, LOL those are not accurate for the rear ends. According to mine in my car I have a 3.70 from the factory LOL. Z-bum can attest to this. The only real way to tell is to look at the stamping on the ring gear.

LOL, from 87-89 all n/a's had 3.90's and all turbos had 3.70's. Where are all of these 87-89 turbo's located I will fly there take all of them out and sell them on ebay for 600 each.

are you on meth?

[MrwassmanNA2T]

Maybe he is refering to the incorrect Vin Plates

WTF? Can you please get more civilized. Arent we having a simple discussion here? Drugs are a VERY touchy subject with me. NEVER even incinuate or joke that I am on drugs! I dont care that you may not be serious. You may not have known this, so consider it a warning.


BTW thanks wass, I thought it was from 87-89. I stand corrected it was in 1988 only that the plates were incorrect.

Jitter you made little sense and seemed to have been 'LOL'ing about it. Now, I see you are warning me in serious tones.

But I have no clue what you are talking about. You seem to be saying that the stamped info on the engine bay is incorrect? The VIN numbers are wrong?

In any case, its easy enough to just jack the car and do an accurate wheel-turn to shaft ratio.

..i have owned a 87 SE/auto[sold] and a 88 SE /5 speed and both were 3.90 factory geared...the engine plate was stamped 3.9 and the ring gear stamped 39-10.

[crowbar]

what year car is the 3.5 that you put in from?

[StreetFighter]

All turbos from 84-86 had a 3.54 ratio.

[mcx]

..i bought it from a member here,SPLZ31,...1984 Turbo version..3.54 ratio..it bolted right in and used the stock 200sx cv axles...i like the 3.54 gearing better because it helps build the boost faster in first gear and the gas milage in top gear is much improved.
