Anyone swap the 3.3 for the 4.0 out there?

The video was removed by the user. I remember seeing that video before. Pretty crazy to see crawlers peeling out like that.

That's freakin' awesome.

For some reason the large sized video in that link will not play (supposedly removed by user).Just go to youtube and search for VH45 Pathfinder and you'll get it.

is it even possible with the new harness and ecu? Is it even worth it, from a cost standpoint? I would think just buying a 4.0L Pathfinder is the better option because then is it "factory" installed.

DBW and immobiliaizers have really made engine swaps a lot more difficult.

The amount of work that went into that VH45 is unthinkable, even though it worked, but at what cost (time)?

Everthing is connected nowadays...engine to ECU to cluster to headunit to trans controller back to ECU, etc....

Good luck. Let us know what you find out. I'll be here waiting, eating some

Your probably right. The more I think of it the more I'm thinking a supercharger or turbos. I don't want a newer on as I live in a expensive state to own newer cars.
