The main reason I purchased the X was because of it's kick ass engine. I really don't need (or want for that matter) anymore power for off-road use.Spicoli said:I've never thought the Xterra (05+) really needed more power. I've come from a tuner market where I had a 340whp car that weighed 3100lb. I can't think of a time where I wish I had more power.
I would like some more low end torque, which certain exhausts would help... but to get the hp that a supercharger gives and hurt MPG even more I just don't see it as an issue.
I agree. Don't the 350z and the X share the same engine? I always thought they were the same engines except the X had a longer piston stroke and a cam geared more towards torque at lower RPM's.mjm4soccer said:I'm surprised that the supercharger for the 3.5 won't work on the 4.0. Did they give any reasons why? I can't imagine that the two are that different, other than the extra displacement. I mean I could see that it wouldn't be a bolt on, but with some customization it should work. Granted, who knows how much money you would have tied into it.
Well, Dan, you said if they had one you would buy one for sure. So, get out the credit card. On page 20 of the March 2007 Four Wheeler magazine is an small news clip for the Stillen supercharger for the '05 - '07 Nissan Xterra, Frontier, and Pathfinder (they listed the Xterra last, but they don't get it).dan galusha said:Man I was kind of disappointed when I talked with them this morning. I called them up to ask if the 3.5L supercharger would work on the 4.0L and they said no. I asked them if they were going to come up with one and they said no. They are only going to support the 350Z and the Titan since they said that they were working on one for the 5.6L. They are not interested in doing one at all for the 4.0L. That sucks. Man we really need to tell them to make one because there is a lot of interest. If I could get one I would buy one for sure.
Ya me too, it was the pretty much the main reason. I love the stock engine every day. If I want a fast car, I'll buy something else.05XOR said:The main reason I purchased the X was because of it's kick ass engine. I really don't need (or want for that matter) anymore power for off-road use.
