The VG30E was an option starting in either the late 80's or early 90's. The VG is still used today in the similar Frontier and Xterra, although it is the VG33E, as it has been enlarged slightly.It is also available as a supercharged engine in the Frontier SC and a similar X terra model.The VG is kinda like Nissan's version of the Small Block Chevy, it has been used in all different sizes of cars, trucks and vans with the exception of the Sentra.Applications include the :200sx(S12), Pathfinder, Frontier, X terra, Hardbody trucks, Mercury Villager, Nissan Quest, Maxima, Stanza and 300zx.

[the other option is to find a donor xterra that is supercharged, and drop the vg33 with tranny and rear axle from the xterra into it, or even the vg30 out of a z car or pathy

And for more power there's the turbo version of the VG30 from the 300Z.

^ not a good fit. if that thing is crammed in the Z, its not going to fit any better in the 240.
