Ok, so I'm in the middle of my 3.5L swap, pic:



I've been told that pathfinder TB = worky.

I just got a cable driven TB from a 2002 3.5L Pathfinder, none of the holes seem to line up, it looks like a no go. Can someone take a pic of theirs b/c I'm confused here.

Um you need a bracket. If you don't wanna do that, check the stickies on how to convert the DBW tb to a cable TB and then sell your pathy TB to me


Where is your cooling?

yea u needed the 2001 drive by wire one, good luck w/ the swap

6spd trans too ...very nice

Youll need adaptor plates to make it work

What's the story on your headers I see peeking through where the radiator goes ??

Any details would be useful......
.

Contact Stephenmax about the adpater plate to make it work. If you need the e-mail address. Let me know.

can I get a picture of this adapter plate? Will get in touch with him.

If I do convert my Maxima TB over, I will be selling off the Pathy TB. Either way, I'm putting that Pathy TB to use or selling it because I paid a bit for it. $225 to be exact.

Cooling...it's currently looking like a universal Griffin aluminum radiator. I can't use the stock one b/c the ports are on the wrong side and I can't use the maxima one b/c it's too big. It's a tight fit, especially if I end up with a 3" thick radiator.

Headers (hehe, I get to use an 'S'....sorry, I'm usually a 4-cyl guy), I found them on ebay, they were labeled for an Altima 3.5. Just some cheap shiny headers that fit my budget. I don't even know what brand they are but they are brand new and look well built. Nice thick flanges and clean welds, can't ask for anything better.

BTW, I took a pic of the 2 TBs I have, I'm sure you all know which is which:

To convert the Maxima TB, you will need a 4th gen TB for parts... Which can be found for pretty cheap.

The final product will look like this:

Another:

Drive by wire on the left (2002+maxima/altima) and on the right is a 2000-2001 maxima TB

actually, the one on the right is pathfinder. I'd prefer using an adaptor plate if possible, any pictures of that? That way I can use the pathfinder throttle body.

It's a piece of aluminum block with a 70mm hole in the middle and sets of holes for the tb and the IM. It can be made with one block so the TB might be clocked a little bit.

Why not just use the DBW and the 2002 Maxima ECU?

He's going with a standalone.

This is an odd question, but because this is a race car and because it is standalone, is there anybody out there with a Maxima or a Z running velocity stacks with ITBs?

No maxima on this board is(or anywhere that I know of)

As for the Z's, check www.my350z.com

Are ya going to add Phenolic Spacer and run the SSIM?

not sure, I prolly couldn't near afford it, but I wanted to look into it.

I know the standalone can run by MAP or by throttle vs RPM.

Hey....please let me know if you are willing to part with the Pathfinder IACV. You can't use it and I have a buddy that needs one for his maxima. PM me for details.

Mike

Its pretty funny. Ive been doing so much messing around with my pathfinder lately with the TPS to get it perfect with my setup, I came acrost my stock TB and it seems SOOO small...just thought Id share that with you guys..lol
