Also curious on your swap prgress, as I am also doing this swap + TT into a 180sx.

Did you know that you can use your original gearbox etc... just swap bellhousing over??
This will cut some costs down..

I am also get NISTUNE done to my ecu as the Type 1 board currently sitting in my CA18DET also suits the VG30e ecu... Cheap tuning..

I have looked around various other forums and seen alot of info on these engines compared to the DE version..
One major difference being that the original VG30e had 13!! bolts per head!! whereas the DE version uses 8.
There are reports of people running 25Psi on stock internals and making over 500Hp.. AND did i mention the 9000Rpm rev limit???

I definatly say go for it and I will let you know how I go as well...
