Its BEEN done.
Anyway, I dont see how its any worse than the usual ricer fantasy of a 2JZ-GTE or a RB26DET swap. Its shorter and was actually available domestically, plus the VG30DETT was hardly a weak motor.

IMHO. The sohc VG30 is only worth 160hp/185ftlbs torque. It features an iron block and aluminum heads. The DOHC VG30DE or DETT are probably much too wide to fit as said.
One might consider the VG30 single turbo which is the sohc turbo from the 86-88 300z turbos. They were worth about 180-200hp stock.
