I know a lot have taking such TB to the 4gen but if the TB fit to a 5th gen, what, if any, would be the advantage of such a mod?

 

More airflow...The pathfinder TB is 70mm.

-matt

 

What's the 3.5? 62-65mm?

 

i believe its the same. they're both 3.5L engines. ones RWD and ones FWD.
ones drive by wire and one is drive by cable.

 

so how hard would it be to put one on a 2000 maxima? Is it direct fit as long as i got drive by cable, since thats what the 5gen is?

 

i believe its a direct bolt up. but i could be wrong. i think the only possible problem might be bolting it up to the manifold, so the mod shouldnt be difficult. maybe a custom bracket or something if it needs one.

 

cool cool, have there been dyno's posted or known of a 5th gen 3.0l with a pathy TB ?

 

adapter plat would be needed for the Pathy TB to fit on the 5th gen or 4th gen.

 

many have put pathy TB's on the 00 VI that came off the 5th gen engine so ......

 

from what i heard, the larger throttle wont boost performance unless an extended rev limit is used.

 

It will be real touchy in day to day driving. I do not believe that anyone has a dyno with just the TB, most have supporting mods with this.

 

No proof out there that it adds any real power (that i've seen). All i've heard is "better throttle response."

 

Alright i appreciate the input, Doesn't look like something I'll persue then, with such a low gain to whatever you pay for it.
