The Nissan VEJ30 is a 90-degree, turbocharged, four-stroke, gasoline-powered, sports car racing engines, built by Nissan Motor Company, in the 1980s. All VEJ30 engines are in a V8 configuration, and use forced induction turbocharging.[1] [2] [3]
In 1987, Nissan began work on an engine exclusively for race use; the result was the VEJ30 engine, developed by Yoshikazu Ishikawa. This engine was based on old technology, and was not a success. For 1988, the VEJ30 was improved by Yoshimasa Hayashi and renamed the VRH30. Changes included increasing the displacement to 3396cc.[4]
