Thanks for the fast replies, I see your point with weight vs torque, the pathy's specs are as follows No. Cylinders 6 Engine Configuration V60 Cam Overhead Cam Valves/Cylinder 3 Compression Ratio 8.9:1 Power 125kW @ 4800rpm Torque 266Nm @ 2800rpm-2800rpm Acceleration 0-100Km/h 11.8 secs Gross Vehicle Mass 2335kg 125kw of pure fury with 2.3t Am I right in thinking that being a 4wd the drive train would be strong enough, [Qoute] The VK56DE employs a massive 98mm bore and 92mm stroke for a total displacement of 5552cc. This engine is built in the US and, as far as we’re aware, is not sold outside of the country. Fitted to the ’04 Nissan Pathfinder Armada and Titan pick-up, this engine makes 305 bhp (227kW) at a low 4900 rpm and more than 500Nm of torque at 3600 rpm. In the Infiniti QF56 SUV it makes an extra 10 bhp (7kW). I wouldn't be suprised if this is a straight "bolt in" arrangement! Only thing is you would need to source the parts from the US, however cost wise it may not be such a bad proposition.

Hi SAU masses, great forum, I've been lurking for a few weeks learning etc, great to see a forum thats not over run by smack talk. I want to do some thing a little different to my pathfinder & I'm after some opinions & advice, specifically work shops in Brisbane that can do engine conversions & engineers certificates etc. I have an 01 pathfinder thats crying out for a Turbo motor, I want to drop it a bit, run it on a set of 20" wheels & tyres paint it black (Allah the escalades in the USA) & I wanted to put a turbo motor in it, or super charge the 3.3 As this is a heavy car I'm not chasing ridiculous 1/4 mile times but I would be happy to get it into the low 13s Any constructive thoughts or advice is appreciated Cheers
