The short answer is yes. Its even been done a few times. Money and time are a huge factor though. You would be better of getting a motor from a 96 pathfinder(VG33E) which bolts in. Slapping a turbo on it and calling it a day.

What Nissan engine can you swap into a Nissan 300zx that has the VG30DE?
If it's a Z31 you can swap in the VG30DET. For the Z32 you can swap in the VG30DETT, or what some people do Rb26dett (skyline engine). The former is a easy swap the latter hard. I've even seen a SR20 (silvia), 2 liter all aluminum in a Z32. Car's pretty heavy for 4 cyl torque, but needless to say the sr wasn't stock. I'd do the VG30DETT easy, pretty cheap, and awesome.
If you have a 1986 Nissan z31 non turbo what mods do you need to do to put one on?

Is the 1986 Nissan 300zx a z31 or z32?
300zx from 84 - 88 are z31
Can you put a turbo on a stock non turbo z31 engine and how much does it cost?
the best way to go would be a twin turbo swap. the na motor has high compression so even if you figure out the hardships and manufacturing of a turbo kit for the na, you would only be able to run about 4-5 psi of boost which when balanced out with time and money. its not practical.
How much is it for a twin turbo kit for a non turbo z31?
You would be better off just replacing the engine with the turbo version from a Z31 or even the DOHC twin turbo version from the Z32. The reason for this is the large differences between the turbo and non-turbo that go way beyond just a turbo. The compression ratio is higher in the non-turbo to make up for the lack of boost. Adding a turbo to that compression ratio will cause detonation. Bottom line, just the cost of a turbo system, ecu, and changing the compression ratio (just the basic changes you need) will still cost far more than just replacing the engine.
Whats faster a z32 na or a turbo z31?
A Z31 turbo with the boost on about 11-12 psi and intercooled will make around 250-275whp, which is about 75-100 more whp then a z32 na makes at the wheels. Z32 NA makes 220hp stock while a Z31 Turbo makes 200hp stock.
Can an engine be swapped from a 1990 300zx twin turbo into a 1986 300zx non turbo?
although possible, it is not recommended. The actual cast engine block is the same however, the intake manifold and exhaust manifolds are to wide to fit into the z31 engine bay. So it is possible but would take a good amount of custom fabrication. I'd recommend an sr20 or rb series motor swap. considerably less modification
What is the vac pump on a Nissan 300ZX?
Answer Because of differences in the vacuum characteristics of a turbo and non-turbo 300ZX the turbo models (Z31 seriers anyway) have a vacuum pump added under the front bumper that comes on when sufficient vacuum is not available from the engine for only the following....water solenoid for heater, ac/heater controls, cruise control.
On the 1985 300zx non-turbo z31 behind the spare tire there is a silver box with 2 switches on it on the box all it says is Niles Japan what is this for please answer asap?
Pretty sure its the clips to hold the inflatable donut tire's aircan.
Can a twin turbo JDM engine fit in a 1985 Nissan 300ZX?
You might have a problem with the orientation but it will work.Here's a list of engines seen in a z31, http://www.az-zbum.com/modification.engine.swap.shtml
Will a engine from a 1990 300zx fit in a 1986 300zx?
with considerable time, maybe? the only thing they kept the same from the z31 to the z32 was just the VG30 short block the engine was changed to a DOHC engine making it considerably wider, I have owned an 86 turbo and I currently have a '90 N/A. I wouldn't dare try fitting the VG30DE into the z31.
ARe there Any computer mods for a 1988 z31 Nissan 300zx?
Nistune. Romulator are two of them you can use to reprogram a z31 ecu.
