Q. A. Fully stock? I predict 15-20 with a steeper drop in torque after 4.5k rpm if you are using stock 3.3 cams in stock 3.3. With drive train loss a stock 3.3 would probably peak 144/178. Yeah I know nissannut we've pm'd a few times over the years. He's on N4W and 4x4 parts, I don't think I've seen him here tho.

My but dyno says it pulls harder esp in the 3.5-4.5k range but starts to run out of breath over 5k. A gain of 50hp seems like it would be enjoyable for anyone Intake; Port matched lower with phenolic spacer and stock upper manifold (defeats the port matching but I didn't have time to finish the job. Exhaust; Thorley long tubes, 2.25 Pipe and Cat, magnaflow muffler with a wheel well dump I would Expect a more arch like curve (not as flat) with 10-15 lower peaks for a stock 3.3 running 3.0 cams. I do like how my numbers to the wheels are almost the same as what a stock 3.0 puts out at the crank. (VG30E produced 153 hp and 182 lb·ft)

First off what is a VG33+? The "+" symbol is typically given to engines that are running a trubo on an higher compression ratio (often a previously NA engine still running the higher NA pistons) and makes more power than its factory counterpart. BUT VG33+ I built is a NA 3.3L with a CR of 10:1 (stock being only 9:1) And we should already know that a VG34 is a 3.4L with a CR between 10:1~10.3:1 Both engines should put out very similar numbers if everything else is configured the same. They dyno sheet below Is VG33+ running OEM European Z31 cams (long duration), minor port work and a heavy 24lb flywheel. (red line; vg33+ blue line; my old 3.0 for power increase comparison ) If you factor in drive-train loss vg33+ and vg34 are both ~200hp engines. I had to doctor up the sheet a little bit. The numbers are intact but it got wet and torn... it had a rough ride from Tacoma, WA to the Mojave Desert in SoCal. Build details will likely be another thread.

The FSM has a few typos in it, and looks like we have found another. If memory serves correct; AM radio is a wave typically taken in best by angular or angular coiled antennas (the L on you windshield or that square your home stereo came with that the antenna wraps around, will also receive FM esp if it has a straight segment leading to the unit) FM radio is traditionally a straight mast usually in multiples of 6" because of how the physical size of FM wavelength and how they can be divided / received. (IRC its 36" so 18" is a half wave and 6" is a quarter wave)

Yep I ran away from the rain . I'm gonna spend me some time in the Mojave Dessert. I hear king of hammers isn't far from here...

<- Gone, not there anymore.

I use WD40 to clean up my Formula 5. I put formula 5 on all rubber poly and 'metal to non-metal' contact surfaces. Then I blast a rag with wd40 wipe off my tools any anything else I touched or a tool touched. And that's how I keep this 8oz cup of Formula 5 from sticking to my entire garage lol.

I did not, and I did not this time either. I probably put around 50k on them? Just a guess... I live in a new area now, lots more driving so we'll see how they hold up. Truck is at 260k now. I have bigger plans so as long as they last a few more lube cycles until then I am fine. the rear bushing on both sides showed very minor wear and some dirt intrusion. The fronts had zero wear and no dirt. I rotated the bushings to balance the wear. Maybe it wasn't formula 5 back then? (formula 4? lol) I had this jar for 4 years so its not that old.

It does not smell at all, its just really sticky. I just re-lubed my bushings. the drive is quiet again.

I took off my Calmini UCA's and re-lubed the bushings with energy suspension formula 5. They are now quiet again and hopefully they will stay that way for another 3 years.

Update, yeah... 4 years they are finally squeaking like mad. Time for some more "energy supension formula 5" and drive it for another 3-4 years.

http://www.techmods.net/nuvi/ after I got the file I used this site to convert it to .png so I could make it a darker blue and then convert it back to .srf for the GPS Next I think I am going to make the icon a little smaller so it does not take as much of the road. Although, I think its the beach ball that's the worst as far as being too big.

http://www.vehiclesforgarminnuvi.com/ I just found this site. Custom made vehicles for the Garmin nuvi... There is a 4 door nissan terrano in there with a sunroof. Aside from color, Looks like my 93 pathy, even has the same style bumper... I think its in the last set on the offroad tab...

its not on a sticker under your hood? try nicoclub.com/fsm

my pics are in here somewhere but I tore it out and am re-doing it to match my new air box. 2" or 4" cut in half is a tight fit towards the front but there is JUST enough room. (On a WD21 at least.) My new design will be a custom molded fiberglass duct 1.5x3" and mate up to a small scoop on top of the fender. The scoop will be removable so I can add a full snorkel if I need it.

Wait what? He can't? So where did I get them? Yes they sell in USA, the are considered a performance upgrade and were marketed by NisMo for some time! And Last I heard, Nissan is actually trying to liquidate these so prices might be really low! The increase in power feels like it comes in at about 3k and up but with no loss in low end power. For a more snappy throttle response; Might I recommend advancing your timing curve by 3-5 degrees when you install these cams.

Cost of coatings adds up. Sure you could rattle can them... Being a professional in painting and corrosion management I know the pitfalls of that. If your going to invest in the higher quality David provides, you might as well invest in keeping it well protected. Maybe its not quite $1200 but its still more than the (inferior) competition who has bulk purchase and production power. I just bought my second set of Throleys so that my wife's pathfinder can have a set.

Yep! Welcome to the world of limited aftermarket support! Experimental Enginiering Has the parts to make 1 or 2 more sets of pathfinder headers. They will not be CARB appoved and EGR must be requested if you want it. They are superior in every way exept they will run out about $1,200 for headders and a Y pipe. OBX 300zx headers fit as well; cheap, no Y-pipe and really, really complete garbage. good for a throw away motor on a budget.

The are a nissan part, talk to your dealer or better yet PM Alko on here and he can get you a good price.

I've got euro cams in my 3.3 and I also bumped the compression ratio a full point. It feels good!

less batteries to throw away but my question is if a factory begins producing these how green will the factory be? My problem withe the Prius is that the only thing remotely green about it is JUST driving it. Its production (and the production of many other vehicles) creates more emissions than driving your pathfinder for 20 years. And then what happens when you have to replace those batteries every 10 years, those aren't good to dispose of...

Thorleys are thicker and will live longer. The overall quality of their wormanship is better. Every so often you will find a pacesetter Ypipe that has a major blockage issue where the pipes meet. Its not every pair but it is a sign of poor quality control.

that's just your computer. Mine all play at once just fine but then again that's my computer...

here you go, http://portland.craigslist.org/yam/pts/3608759876.html included the lower intake bowl. It will bolt to an NA and you can plug the extra holes or you could weld on (a very simple to make) adapter plate to the NA lower for the support of the extra holes. Its still missing the intake tube tho so not the greatest deal. IMO unless it comes with the bowl and intake tube its not really worth it because those are the hardest parts to find by themselves. Now if your deleting all your idle controls for an old school throttle stop of a hole in the throttle plate to set your idle then an intake tube becomes very easy to make.

I'm no cory I couldn't make yall suffer for pages and pages like that. Besides, Leo had me pinned, How can I drag it on from there? Oh wait, my uncle is a wizzard he'd figure out how disappear the evidence and let me drag it on longer.
