leangreenmachine96 Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 will the 2001 motor of a Nissan pathfinder be compatible with a 96 Nissan pathfinder? I ask this because my R50 is seriously under powered and I don't know what else to do. She has trouble climbing hills and she stalls alot when mildly four wheeling. Please help. I work at a pick and pull so I can get motors cheep so price is not the issue, Will the tranny bolt up right? Will the trany and four wheel drive be able to handle the extra power? Will it mount up right? Will I need the ECU? Please help me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushnut Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 don't know why the 3.0 you've got has issues, the 3.5 may help but why don't you just fix the one you've got? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leangreenmachine96 Posted July 27, 2014 Author Share Posted July 27, 2014 I don't know what is wrong with it or I would. I cant even climb a 45% grade hill cause it just wont go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushnut Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 if you have the know how and ability to swap an engine than you should be able to figure out whats wrong with the one you have. It should be lots less work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swanicyouth Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Likely your cats are clogged. At least on one bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karmann Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 VQ trannies are beefed up, as are the transfer cases. I think you'd be better off just fixing and upgrading what you have. There's a few options to increase the power of VGs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
