linuxnut Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I have a 1997 Pathfinder with a blown engine. Timming Belt broke at 3000 rpm. I went online a bought a JDM Engine VG33E from a Japan Importer. What will i need to get this engine up and running ASAP? I know that the engine harness wont work in an american car, so will i only need to change the electronics. Ex. Engine Harness, alternator, If there is more that i need to change or advice i would appreaceate the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
