Jason,
Have you measured up a VG30DET motor? I looked at this conversion and found
that you would have great difficulties actually fitting it into a 1600 engine bay.
I'm not saying it can't be done just that a CA, FJ, SR conversion is a lot easier and
common.
Cheers
Daniel

Jason,
Besides why would you need to? A worked 2L turbo motor can produce
a streetable 400 HP. More than enough for any conceivable tyres you
can fit in a 1600 body.
