None of the USDM VGs have carbs.

You have carb? Middle East? South Africa? Trade a couple of your distributors for an EFI system.

Sounds like you need to buy a vg30 or vg30et parts car off CL.

Then you'll have the harness, ecu, intake, injectors, sensors, fuel pump, and all the little bits and pieces you forgot you needed, but glad you got as part of the deal.

But you need a budget and detailed plan. Do you already have a carbed vg working under the hood of your 510?
Do you want to keep it stock or upgrade turbo, ecu (jim wolf, wolfems, sds, aem, megasquirt, nistune, electramotive, etc)? Intercooler? Bigger fuel pump? You'll need a custom exhaust manifold and exhaust system for turbo setup. V6 200sx intake and exhaust setups work well. Pathfinder intakes also work well.

Then what else needs to be upgraded? Suspension? Brakes? Springs/shocks? LSD?
Have fun!

Slowdown, pa'dna. We're pretty sure you don't know what you have, since you're all over the map with the carb/EFI business. Why not post some pictures?

If you are in N Am then you already have EFI. Sure would help if people would fill out their profle locations. The Middle East had carbs I believe so are you from Dubai or something?

It's very unlikely you have a carb (not impossibl just unlikely) as the VG came with a crank angle sensor (CAS) that needs the EFI and ECU to opperate the ignition. There were no points or EI distributors for the VG30 motor used here.

Post pictures X3... lets see what ya got.

Truck version with TBI? Be easier if you popped the air cleaner off. David at VG30.com was a proponent of converting VGs to carb, and there are a few out there.

If you stick your location in your profile, we'll quit hasslin' ya about it.

Naw, that sure looks like a Holly 4bbl. Wondering how that dizzy is made to work. Maybe some L28 parts?
