Really? I'd never heard that.

Toysrme means well, but misses big puzzle pieces when he tries to figure things out.

Once again thanks for all the comments. I added an electric fan and got a turbo timer to run the oil pump (though havent had time to install). I noticed that the oil was pooling in the turbo and leaking out the seals on both sides unless I run the pump for awhile after driving. After killing my battery from leaving the pump on overnight a couple times and having to buy a new battery, I decided a turbo timer is the easy/right way to do it.

A sump would have also probably worked but I'm tight for clearance at the turbo. I still go 4 wheeling with this thing and Im happy to say the only thing that hangs lower than stock is the side exit dowpipe. :)

I revised the intake and routed it back over the axle. I also made an awesome strong bracket to hold the turbo up, and another one to hold the intake up. I'm going to put a shield on the cone filter. I should be able to splash around in mud and water without worries now


I bought a BTM but haven't installed it yet. I'm actually contemplating going with a ROMulator and tuning the stock ecu. As I understand it, it should work with 90-92 pathfinders. Im going to try to source a 92 ecu from the yard to play around with. I also did some experimenting and found the early Q45 injectors drop into the early Maxima fuel rails, which bolt to the Pathfinder lower plenum and have the same connector. Direct drop in 370cc injectors FTW!

Here's the MX3 thread https://www.homemadeturbo.com/forum/...?topic=52186.0
