Re: vg turbo or non turbo
Im not a master on this subject but I do remeber something about the turbo piping running behind the engine ( Firewall side ) that gives problems.
There are a few build threads here with both, I suggest looking at what they did for ideas.

It gets more complicated. As PMK indicates, the turbo needs to be relocated. In addition to the turbo piping connecting the banks, the turbo also sits where the steering box sits.

Does this site not get much activity anymore? No replies since March?
There's a LOT to consider between turbo and n/a VG's. Two big things to consider here, an N/A VG will be plenty of power for most 510 owners, and a turbo VG will be way more than enough power for most 510 owners. I built a VG34E, which I think splits the difference. The track car I'm building will be a turbo VG30E, and my GF's car is an N/A VG30E. Lots of plumbing work for the turbo, with custom exhaust manifolds needed, all the intercooler piping, the intercooler, etc. Lots of extra work. The N/A version is actually relatively simple to install. Cheap too if you can build (modify) your own oil pan, and engine/tranny mounts.

Everyday, but it is a kind of back and forth thing, the OP seems to have lost interest.yellowdatsun wrote:Does this site not get much activity anymore? No replies since March?

The photo links didn't work, but I'll assume you went naturally aspirated.
I've not driven a turbo VG conversation myself in a 510, but I can tell you that the naturally aspirated conversation in unmodified form goes plenty quick with excellent driveability and access to all major components not being an issue.
Certainly keep us posted.

Nice credentials.
I love my car deeply. I just sometimes wish it wasn't factory green.
