Guest 89PathSE Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 Well.... here's my latest creation... Supercharged '89 Pathfinder VG30I. Everything is hand fabricated by me in person. It's an Eaton M90 Supercharger (90 cubic inches displacement)... and it runs on an L&P Performance moddified TBI unit and STOCK ECU!!! On a cool day without the air filter, it runs about a 7.2 second 0-60. The hood is still in fabrication, but you'll see a nicely finished cowl induction hood up top in a week or two. I also run open pacesetter headers, which you will hear in the video below. I had to put my old heads back on to drop my compression from ~11:1 (decked heads) back down to ~9:1... and I havent even BEGUN to mod this pair of heads yet. The engine boosts to about 15 psi, according to my speculation... A 3.8L Grand Prix GTP with a belt ratio of 1.87:1 does 8 psi stock... I have a belt ratio of about 2.1:1 on a 3.0L engine which should do about 14-15 psi. Boost guage coming soon. Also an MSD boost retard controller is in the works. The rest of the truck is a mostly stock '89 SE.... but it has the super-rare factory brush guard and roof lights. Click below to see pics and vids! Let me know what you think!!! http://www.lpperformance.com/Pics%20and%20Vids.htm Lee McQuinn Mechanical Design Engineer, L&P Performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedPath88 Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Lee has not posted here since 6 Aug 2004 and has not logged in since 31 Aug 2005. As far as anyone knows he is no longer part of L&P either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jj big shoe Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Much like Elvis, Lee has left the building. At least left the building of a S/C kit to someone else. He's apparently moved to Detroit and is working for FoMoCo. The Pathy is retired and the kit now belongs to another member of this board with the understanding that no design info would be given to anyone. The kit reportedly will be installed on the new owner's wife's HB, so maybe we'll get some pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd reverse engineer it...change it a lil bit make a kit and sell...or possibly even just get a drawing set together and sell them for like $20 a shot until it gets posted all over the net...
