Guest jjuelke Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 I was wondering if a 02-04 supercharger off of a Xterra or Frontier will work on my 1996 Nissan Pathfinder with an 3.3L manual trans 4X4?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Probably not without swapping the intake, ECU, injectors, fuel pump, some wiring, the bracketry for the SC belt, and a few other things...but hey. If you've got the money, you can do anything to it you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vengeful Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Somone tried this with a 98 QX4, and ran into some serious issues with clearance and the manifolds. If you're willing to but a big bulge in your hood, and pay to have a custom manifold made, then, you should be able to do it, but, at that point, you might as well get a better supercharger.

Mark Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Why not just swap motors? My great frustration is that the VQ35 motor was never released in Oz. We only get the VG33 with auto for R50s. And no QX4. And no Xterra. I have a '96 and when it comes time to rebuild or replace my engine, I'm going to be looking at a VQ35 or a VG33 SC imported from the states. In the meantime, I'm thinking about turbocharging my VG33... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vengeful Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Yeah, for the cost and effort, you're better off just swapping motors. Assuming your motor is still good, you can recoup probably $800 for it. A complete Xterra supercharger setup will run you about $2300 just for the parts (according to the guy who tried it on his QX4) and a NEW Xterra S/C engine can be had for about $2800 from a Nissan dealer. Used ones or private are less expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezzy Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 From what I hear from the SC - X owners... it's not really worth it just sucks more gas and premium gas at that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
