...and yes, the RB and VG are about the same power wise, and modification wise, but if you've ever worked on a VG30DETT, you know that you pretty much have to pull the engine to do anything other than change the oil (LOL)... Seriously though, I had two reasons for the swap:
1.) Easier to work on (almost the entire engine can be serviced while in the car)
2.) It just sounds plain badass. hah... seriously though, it's a "adding a rare engine to an already rare car" kind of thing.
There was not a thing wrong with my VG30DETT that was in the car. I was running twin GT2860R's and put 585 RWHP and 505 ft-lb at 18PSI, and it can easily push over 700rwhp on C16 with a little more boost.
