ditchdiggerjcf Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Anybody done any porting to the throttle body or the intake runners on these engines? I was just wondering if there was any HP to be found there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY1PATH Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 300zx guys take the patfinder vg30 manifold and do a P&P on it. Don't know the gain becuase theres also againfrom using the pathy manifold in the first place. IMO P&P usually assists marginally to High rpm aplications. Its benifit to torque and low range is non-existant if not negitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that the benefits will only be seen in the higher rpm's, but, when I pull the boat my engine is constantly in the 3500-4000 rpm range.

helix66 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 From what I've read there isn't much you can do to make it less of a pig, short of a supercharger or changing to a 3.3L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not looking for a lot more HP. When I tow the boat I keep the tranny in 4th gear to keep my rpm's up, and my engine making decent HP. I would like to make a few mods to help out with my trucks towing capability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also you're not supposed to use 5th when towing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
