You didn’t need to take the fan off to remove the radiator and fan shroud. The fan shroud has a piece on the bottom that un clips with two plastic snap buckles. Makes it less of a haste to remove radiator with fan shroud.
@bill clark non of supercharged frontiers or xterras have egr's . If you ever need to change your driver side left exhaust manifold you need to make sure the manifold comes with the block off bolt. Lol I just through that last part in there for the he'll of it, maybe help some reader someday
Finally threw down on a set of parts someone was offloading cheap ($500 including an ECU), just need a crank pulley, AC Compressor, and to refill and plug the super, possibly one of the pulleys that is supposed to go on the pulley bridge (it has the end one, but I think it's missing the tensioner that goes in the middle). I haven't received all the parts to inspect myself, but I'm looking forward to the project, super just got a solid coupler put into it too (hence why it's empty, I assume they stripped the plug a bit getting it out). Your series on this build has totally got me into the idea that I can do this, but then again, I just spent the summer rebuilding the top and front ends of my motor and camming it out with a DIY port and polish and had to have a local exhaust shop do me up a true dual since I had to cut my old cat back to get the motor out and change the cats for high-flows.
Forgot I did this vid today for Facebook and decided to throw it up here, this is post rebuild as it says in the description with the more aggressive cams. czcams.com/video/YC93CKxzRxc/video.html
So I had a fuel pump problem coupled with a starter problem. The first was a connector that wiggled loose. The 2nd wasn't a problem, just seems like when I tried starting it when it died it must have backlashed the system so bad the tensioner came loose. Anyways I blew up my old crank pulley with a pulley puller so screw it. The time is now. Got everything pulled out, still waiting on getting the pulley and A.C. Compressor, but I'm ready to start rebuilding the top end as of tonight.
How did you manage to connect the hoses for the supercharger bypass valve on the first gen xterra? I ínstales on in a 2001 xterra but have no where to connect the supercharger solenoid
Can you use a 4x4 ECU in and a 2wd truck and the other way around? Or does a 4x4 Truck need the 4x4 ECU. I'm about to do this. Have all the parts but left the ECU at the junkyard so now i have to find another ECU. The one from the Junkyard was from a 2002 X 2wd and my truck is 2000 Frontier 4x4 V6. So, would my stock ECU on the 2000 Frontier 4x4 work with the new supercharger setup with Charger at stock settings. I.E. a charger with stock pulley? WOuld my stock ECU be capable of learning? I've looked at the pin layouts of the SC ECU vs a regular ECU and they're the same. Also, the ECU needs to be AT and not MT right since i have an AT.
Awesome detailed videos. I've shared with a lot of people. Quick question. A guy did this swap and it will not run with the supercharged ECM. He runs it on the naturally aspirated ECM and it will idle but dies when he puts it in gear what has he missed?
I have a pathfinder 2001 with vg33, if I install this supercharger how many boost Is going to give me ? And the set up of the computer would the same or I have to change something ?
A stock NA 3.3 is about 175hp, with the SC you will be at about 210+hp. It will run with the NA comp just fine but if you can find a SC ecu even better.
Hey I admire your work and I have a question I was wondering will a 2003 Nissan Frontier supercharger fit in a 2006 Nissan Xterra both auto thanks and have a wonderful day
It's just an ebay hood scoop. I think it was for an 05 mustang. the 2000 Xterra hood wont clear the supercharger, so I had to cut a hole in it and add the scoop.
@@Bigislandguy No. The na ecu will work. Thats how we drove the one in the video foe a few months. It will be a bit rich from the larger injectors is all. but you can keep the na injectors
@@ParksBrosPerf Hey! Thanks for the video, these are really helpful! Just wanted to verify that you did indeed eventually plug in the supercharged ecu and it did work?
I am in the process of doing that! I have a 300zx turbo. Looks like the turbo and manifolds will bolt on no problem and I will just feed the supercharger. Just the single turbo, but should be fun!
The first gen xterra hood wont clear the supercharger, so I had to cut a hole in it so it would close. Than i got a cheap scoop off ebay to cover the hole.
@@ParksBrosPerf Wow that's great, my SC is at 300k and is in need of a replacement but only the NA engines are available, I think I will swap everything over and see how it goes.
Heres a question. How hard would it be to convert a supercharged xterra to a non supercharged xterra.. Could you just install injectors/intake manifold and ecu from non SC model??
Is there any writeups around for this? I have been looking for xterras to buy and the only things coming up are SC in the condition I want.. Premium is expensive in Canada.. A full tank of premium will be over 100$ here.
I haven't had an xterra with the smog stuff on it yet, or egr. the port on the exhaust manifold is there but not drilled and tapped. That is a good question!
R P gotcha. I have the egr tube on my exhaust but don't think I'd be able to hook it up to the super charger anywhere. itd leave me with a CEL and NC frowns on those. oh well, I'm still in the early research phase.
R P we have visual inspection for cats and verification that we have no active OBDII codes. good idea on the the ECU. swapping to a non EGR ECU would likely kill that CEL
It wouldn't be a direct bolt on. it was made for the VG33. I don't know if it would fit a 3.5L If a vg33 intake would fit a vq35 you could make it work.
I know you probably say in the videos but I just wanted to know if you could just give me a list of all the parts I’ll need off the supercharged that I can save so I have it. I drive a lifted supercharged and it’s beat but I just found another with almost no miles for cheap
@@nitroyt152 Did you watch the videos? If you have the ECU Id'e swap it. It will run just fine on the stock ECU though. I just cap off the throttle body coolant lines
@@ParksBrosPerf Im need some help here... I sold a N/A auto trans to someone with a S/C truck. Come to find out, his old bad trans has one sensor more then the N/A transmissions. so the trans is different. Internal parts are different too. it has bigger bands, among other things. I have a N/A xterra (my daily driver) and I have a S/C donor for parts. I want to S/C my daily driver. Do i need to change injectors? Will the N/A wire harness work with the S/C ECU? im asking because of the trans and trans harness being different.
You didn’t need to take the fan off to remove the radiator and fan shroud. The fan shroud has a piece on the bottom that un clips with two plastic snap buckles. Makes it less of a haste to remove radiator with fan shroud.
He did say he didn’t want to reach down and take the plastic piece off
awesome videos. i can't believe i'm just finding these now. it's hard to find anything with the supercharged engines.
Thanks man!
+R P so some of them don't have an egr? maybe mine doesn't. I looked and can't find it.
@bill clark non of supercharged frontiers or xterras have egr's .

awesome videos!!
What's up Rob
Awesome detailed videos. I've shared with a lot of people.
Quick question. A guy did this swap and it will not run with the supercharged ECM. He runs it on the naturally aspirated ECM and it will idle but dies when he puts it in gear what has he missed?
Hmm.. I would check and adjust the timing first. and make sure there are no vacuum leaks.
@@ParksBrosPerf thanks man. I'll tell him.
hello. first of all im new here :)
after you mount supercharger on non supercharged engine do yo need computer check or something else ?
I did the swap however the trucks loose power between 2k & 3k rpms after it 31k rpm gains the power back any ideas?
Thats odd.. I would check the timing first
Wats the different with a supercharger transmission nd without supercharger are dey the same
I have a pathfinder 2001 with vg33, if I install this supercharger how many boost Is going to give me ? And the set up of the computer would the same or I have to change something ?
A stock NA 3.3 is about 175hp, with the SC you will be at about 210+hp. It will run with the NA comp just fine but if you can find a SC ecu even better.
@@ParksBrosPerf What’s the ECu that I can use for the build and tune ?
Hey I admire your work and I have a question I was wondering will a 2003 Nissan Frontier supercharger fit in a 2006 Nissan Xterra both auto thanks and have a wonderful day
No, The new body style also has a different engine. I believe a 4.0L, not the 3.3L
where is the egr located on the supercharged 3.3? do i have to take the plenum off to get to it? i want to take the egr valve off to clean it.
I haven't had one with the egr yet. But I am looking to pick another up soon from a local junk yard, If it has the EGR I will let you know
Are the engines exactly the same? I need a new long block for my 2003 supercharged xterra.
They are not the same... I think the SC models have different pistons and slightly lower compression. but an NA will work just fine!
When the swap is done, do you have any CEL? I am starting to collect parts and being here in California I can have any CEL in order to pass smog.
I do because of the headers. no cats. That doesn't bother me. I have permanent registration and no smog.
Would a 2002 xterra supercharger fit on a 2000 nissan frontier v6?
Yes sir!
Would you happen to know where you get that black hood at ? or is it a hood scoop just added if so would you happen to have a video on it.
It's just an ebay hood scoop. I think it was for an 05 mustang. the 2000 Xterra hood wont clear the supercharger, so I had to cut a hole in it and add the scoop.
Hi
can i just swap ecu without issue ? Or needs to be reprogrammed by vin# ?
Plug it in and go!
@@ParksBrosPerf thank you so much. God bless you
@@ParksBrosPerf Hey RP is it a must do thing, to swap the ecu. when doing this sc conversion ?
@@Bigislandguy No. The na ecu will work. Thats how we drove the one in the video foe a few months. It will be a bit rich from the larger injectors is all. but you can keep the na injectors
@@ParksBrosPerf Hey! Thanks for the video, these are really helpful! Just wanted to verify that you did indeed eventually plug in the supercharged ecu and it did work?
Would love to twin turbocharger the Vg33er using the Vq38 or vg30 engine manifold and TT.
I am in the process of doing that! I have a 300zx turbo. Looks like the turbo and manifolds will bolt on no problem and I will just feed the supercharger. Just the single turbo, but should be fun!
@@ParksBrosPerf how's it coming along?
Whats the supercharge ?
Out of curiosity, did you order that hood, or did you make it yourself/custom order?
The first gen xterra hood wont clear the supercharger, so I had to cut a hole in it so it would close. Than i got a cheap scoop off ebay to cover the hole.
R P that's what I thought, been thinking about doing this for a while, thanks!
@@ParksBrosPerf then how did the SC models hoods shut?
later model year with a different style hood. see how the green hood pops up, and the silver one does not.
@@ParksBrosPerf so did the 03's non s.c. have a raised hood?
How long does the NA engine hold up with this swap?
Still driving both of these around today, I haven't had any issues.
@@ParksBrosPerf Wow that's great, my SC is at 300k and is in need of a replacement but only the NA engines are available, I think I will swap everything over and see how it goes.
@@user-nw7kf6nl2y replace the head gaskets while its all apart and you shouldn't have any problems
How many miles were on this one? Also do you know how the engine went?
high miles, don't really remember... it looks like the piston rings needed replaced. it burned a ton of oil.
Thank u so much I'm fixing to do this to my 03 frontier! Is there anyway to change the pulleys and make more power!?!?
www.4x4parts.com/c-1057001-nissan-performance-pulleys.html
Cool man thanks! Can u notice a big difference in power and torque?
Not a huge increase, but you can feel it!
Please tell me how changing a pulley will help....there all super light wt. Escpecially the idler ones.
Heres a question. How hard would it be to convert a supercharged xterra to a non supercharged xterra.. Could you just install injectors/intake manifold and ecu from non SC model??
Yep, same process just in reverse. I just gave a friend a full NA setup last week. He wants to sell his supercharger set up.
Is there any writeups around for this? I have been looking for xterras to buy and the only things coming up are SC in the condition I want.. Premium is expensive in Canada.. A full tank of premium will be over 100$ here.
not sure... it a pretty easy swap. You could back the timing off on a SC engine if you want to run lower octane fuel.
I'm interested in the supercharger setup if your buddy still has it.
yes sir he does
Are you aware of this supercharger being added to a first gen Frontier (D22) pickup? 2000 VG33E V6, A/T, 2WD.
I believe the engines are exactly the same and they had a supercharged version of the Frontier, so it should be a plug and play.
I got a 06 4.0 can it be supercharged or just turbo?
Anything can be supercharged! but this setup would not be a bolt on one.
was there a port for EGR tube anywhere in the super charger or intake?
I haven't had an xterra with the smog stuff on it yet, or egr. the port on the exhaust manifold is there but not drilled and tapped. That is a good question!
R P gotcha. I have the egr tube on my exhaust but don't think I'd be able to hook it up to the super charger anywhere. itd leave me with a CEL and NC frowns on those. oh well, I'm still in the early research phase.
hmm... I have an extra ecu from a non egr xterra, I wonder if would make any difference? Do you have to pass smog over yonder? "I Love MT!"
R P we have visual inspection for cats and verification that we have no active OBDII codes. good idea on the the ECU. swapping to a non EGR ECU would likely kill that CEL
hell...I'd do an EGR delete just for the sake of the bolts being impossible to get to on the Intake manifold. makes removing the manifold a pain.
The 2nd gen 4.0 NA has 50 more hp than 3.3 supercharged
yeah... but it doesn't have a supercharger!
What about me I gotta 2000 nissan xterra se 4x4 could it be done to mine?
Yeah, that's what the silver one is. I have all the parts if you want to give it a go.
Damn awesome were are y'all located
I am in Montna! where are you?
Dammit all the way in tn
Probably have the money for it too damn
Hey men how can i contact you I have some questions
Sorry I missed this... What would you like to know?
Is this supercharger compatible with vq35de?
It wouldn't be a direct bolt on. it was made for the VG33. I don't know if it would fit a 3.5L If a vg33 intake would fit a vq35 you could make it work.
Works fine on Vq35de
Would one work on a 2000 3.3 frontier
yes. but the hood wont close. I cut a hole in mine and put a hood scoop over it.
Dont you have to worry about blowing the headgaskets?
I know you probably say in the videos but I just wanted to know if you could just give me a list of all the parts I’ll need off the supercharged that I can save so I have it. I drive a lifted supercharged and it’s beat but I just found another with almost no miles for cheap
The very first part of video 3 gives you the list. add the throttle cable too.
What about the ecu doesn’t that have to be swapped too
And what did you do about the coolant lines that ran to the plenum
@@nitroyt152 Did you watch the videos? If you have the ECU Id'e swap it. It will run just fine on the stock ECU though. I just cap off the throttle body coolant lines
