I put on some 265/70R/17 and some BFG A/T K/O tires which the wheels have a neg 4 backspacing and still had to put on 1.5 adapters in order to clear the strut. Also plan on doing some triming as well when you run 17" wheels. I installed all 4 adapters and it looks killer. Much wider stance now.

I've been told you get a 100+ hp gain on that VG33E engine when adding twin turbos to it. The port and polish with new pistons and cams with the supercharger seems the way to go. Getting the parts is no problem and having the cowl made on the hood is a no brainer.

What turbo upgrade did you find? I'm looking for the same.

The bushings help isolate road noise and cut down on vibration. Wow, this is exactlly what i'm looking for, to improve handling and cut down on the road noise through vibrations in the car and through the steering. Nice!!

I have the HG46 (4.636) gears. I just heard you can improve your bottom end torque more by changing the ring and pinon which would help.

There shouldn't be a problem installing these on a daily driver 98 pathy correct? Off-Roading on the weekend but still need it to be the daily. What could we expect the differences will be on handling during a road trip? Still working on upgrades to my 98" and this looks like a great upgrade. Thanks, Timmons

Opps, I meant engine timing. Here was the quote" New gears allow for more torque, accurate speedometer readings and proper engine timing before or after installation of new tire size"

That would be great!! I'll try replacing the bushings with the polyurethane ones to see if it will help since mine are stock and never been replaced. Nice to see a fix that will help clean up the steering. Thanks for the recommendation on the straps, I'll check it out at our local "JEEP 4x4 shop LOL" since that's all we have here in El Paso.

I have a Manual pathy Jose. Heard you can change out ring and pinon grears after an upgrade to the rims and tires that will correct your transmition timing, torque and speedometer. Any thoughts?

Any recommendations of the correct Ring and Pinon set up once you have increased your Tire size to a 265/70R/17? In order to get more torque, correct speedometer and timing. Thanks, Tim

I had the 2" AC lift installed mounted on 265/70R/17s BFG AT's KO's which I noticed that I get vibrations in the steering of the vehicle that are not related to wheel balance but more like the lift kit or tire size. Understanding that the vehicle now drives like a truck and not your mothers station wagon, is there some dampening that can be installed to lessen the noise through the steering? Only noticed this when going from stock to lift. Also, have any of you used straps to counter act the topping off of the strut when going over speed bumps? Thanks, Timmons

Try again, the link does not work. Any idead what kind of HP gains you can get when running an electric fan?

Where do you see the most gains?

Looks like part of the POP charger where you connect the cone filter.

I'm going to purchase this JWT POP charger and try it with the stock tube and then have a friend of mine use is dyno to see what the results are before and after. Then I'll try a different tube and then put it on the dyno again. I'll have the results at the end of this month and post it. I need to find a way to funnel cold air into this pop charger from the front of the pathy so I'll be looking for ways to pipe it in. Anyone has pictures of this mod, please feel free to post if you have had any successes on this. No sense in re-inventing the wheel so to speak. Thanks for everyones input.

Sounds like I could make my own tube and attach the JWT POP charger on it for more free flow. Guess the next thing to do is also make a shroud to allow only cool air to enter the filter.

Has anyone purchased the super chips to adjust for fuel injection and transmission points after a lift and over sized tires are put on? I heard you can improve your gas mileage, change the speedometer and also increase more HP and torgue using this method. It's a computer you hook up and you can choose fuel economy, power or for off-road conditions. I have a 1998 Pathy which I lifted and put on some 265/70/17R BF T/A KO tires and wanted to see if the super chips really make a difference as advertised. Thx Tim

Thanks for the input. Checked out that JWT POP charger kit. Intresting there is no shinny intake tube. LOL. Their intake must work then.

I installed the 2" AC All Rancho shocks and struts lift kit and I must say it just rocks!! Be sure to purchase to strut mounts and camber kits as well. This weeked I went I bought some new Pro Comp black 17x8 4.00 back spacing - rims and 4 new BF 265/70/17R AT KO tires. Didn't loose much power but the gas mileage did go down a bit. The fit is great and they look really tough on my 1998 Pathy. Decided to remove the step bars and mud flaps for some clearance and style. Looks very lifted now. With the white pathfinder and black Pro Comp rims, the vehicle looks very tough. Anyone had any luck with the armor undercariage plating from www.4x4parts.com? This is my next purchase along with some Warn lockers. Also looking for a great intake if anyone has any suggestions. THX!! Tim

Has anyone had any experiences with aftermarket Air Intakes for the 1998 Pathfinder? Looking for a little more boost and the only performance air intake I could find was the Weapon-R.

Do you have the 3.5 liter engine? Wondering if I put these rims and tires on, how much it will change on my take off speed. Did you notice a big change on torque?

Looks Awesome!! My 2" AC lift is going on tomorrow. Was looking for new Rims and Tires and this really inspired me to go with the 285/75/R16's now. You said the backspacing must be 4.25. So if I could get a rim that has a neg 5 back spacing, think that will work instead of the spacers? I would like the rims to work instead of buying the spacers if I'm going with the 33's.
