Where is a good place to get a fresh rebuilt engine?

VG34?!?

Another question. I read the post about the cold air system from what I was able to gather from everyone... Adding a K&N high flow to the stock box is almost as good without the worry of getting it wet, Yes? And I'm not into the loud raspy noisy exhaust. I like stealth and making all that ruckus is not stealth... My thought, using a standard muffler that is designed for a larger motor. Like using a muffler for like a 1978 350 v8... Or... A muffler for a 4.3 L motor. I'm increasing exhaust flow and still keeping it quiet, thoughts?

And yes, rocking the mullet, but in my defense... It was like 1993

I will admit... I miss that Bronco, it was vicious! Fiberglass body, tilt out doghouse. dana 30 short axles, dana 44 drive shafts, ford power lock front diff, detroit locker rear diff. 4.88 gearing. C6 tranny, NP 203 transfer case, 351W with, Holley 650 dual line, dual pump sitting on a torquer 2 intake, 10.5:1 compression. 488 lift 288 duration cam, roller rockers. 44"x18.5" Gumbo Monster Mudders It was a BEAST!

From the sound of things, rather than putting all that into a vg30, if I put some of that into the vg33, ie, cam, headers and a remap, I would be better off in the long run and probably achieve better numbers. That is great, Thanks guys

I'm abundantly aware of the need for torque over HP and although this is my first Pathfinder, this is just one of many 4x4 I have owned. If you reread my post you will notice that the reference to the vg30de was just that, a reference for the HP and Torq rates that I am looking for. I also chose to state the specifics to the build of the vg30e I will be doing. As I stated, I just want to make sure I'm making a 5 hr motor, not a 5 min motor. Pictured below is a 66 bronco that I actually built from the ground up.

Next spring I'll be rebuilding my engine on my 91 Pathy. I'm wanting to build it to produce around 200 hp and around 200 lb-ft. I noticed that the vg30de produced 222 hp and 198 lb-ft, but it states that it's a 2wd motor. The 222 hp and the 198 lb-ft are the numbers that I'm trying to achieve. I am wanting to keep the motor as near to stock specifications as possible. So if I increase the compression to 10:1, increase the lift and duration on the cam, add headers high flow air filter, high flow exhaust... Will I need to remap the computer? And, will that make the engine a detonation just waiting to happen?

Oh and... Front drop bushings?!?

Thanks for the information. Is there a 2"/2.5" suspension lift available? I was actually just going to buy the cat converter and the muffler and have a shop install it, if that helps. http://www.carid.com/1991-nissan-pathfinder-exhaust-systems/magnaflow-direct-fit-catalytic-converter-61589839.html and http://www.carid.com/1991-nissan-pathfinder-exhaust-systems/magnaflow-direct-fit-catalytic-converter-61589839.html

I just got my first Pathfinder, a 1991 SE and I need some information... I wanting to upgrade the suspension and exhaust.That said... Question no.1 If I go with a 3" suspension lift will that put to much stress on the cv joint angle? Question no. 2 Exhausts available from Magnaflow are for a D21, is that applicable for the WD21?

Thanks guys, My plans... Initially, 3" suspension lift, magnaflow exhaust system, New wheels and tires. Next summer I am wanting to put a fresh engine in it and rebuild the drive train.

I've read through this post and from what I have gathered... Replacing the filter in the stock box with a K&N is, for the most part, just as good. Yes? No?

I just read how to do it and I'll get that done tomorrow.

Hi, I just got my first Pathfinder 3 days ago and I lve it. I have no idea how to post a picture of my rig, unfortunately.
