Suppp everyone!

I was hoping if you guys can shed some light on a matter I've really been considering. I've got a 99.5 Pathfinder XE 5spd. I love the truck to death, but kinda getting bored with the power - honestly it's not much. So I was thinking, is it possible to turbo/super it?

It's got a VG33DE motor.

It's got 277,000km but the engine is mint, no engine knock noise or anything.

Any ideas?

it's possible, but not for cheap. you'll have to go custom. There are no plug n play kits.

With all the work that you would be putting into the turbo or supercharger install. You should just do a VQ 3.5 swap from a >2001 QX4/Pathy. You will get the same if not more power with similar amount of work, plus I would put money on better reliability from the VQ 3.5 over the supercharged 3.3. My $.02
