I want to know if anyone has installed Z32 heads on a vg33 engine. I want more power for my 2002 xterra.

Problem with turbocharging is getting the proper tune. VG30DET was only good for about 200hp. But is a much simpler design. The VG30DE heads are a huge headache. Even on the Z-cars.

There have been some good results in the Z31 world with the VG33 bottom end/block and the VG30E heads and single turbo. The issue with that in the Xterra is the added underhood heat and I'm not sure if it would interfere with the steering shaft.
Either way you're not looking at a simple job lol

Super charging might make sense, as there are bolt on parts to do it, and you can play with pulley diameter to get the power you want, etc.
