View Full Version : Bolt-on performance for V6

Just curious if anyone has had good (or bad) results with any bolt-on performance mods for the 3.0L V6 found in Pathfinders (I think it's called the V30)? I'm going to be doing a SAS to my '90 'Finder and it will likely require headers. I've heard that headers alone make very little difference to this engine, not that headers make a massive difference to most stock engines, but supposedly it's almost unnoticeable on 'Finders. Blah, blah anyway, I'm looking to compliment the enevitable headers.
Also I know that I can do a cold air, injectors and the rest... it's actual experiences I'm curious about, not progected results.
Thanks,
'Balmer

all i got to say is that headers will take you forever to put on because as soon as you touch one of the manifold bolts its going to break off in the head. 3.0 are know for breaking manifold bolts, then you have to get the rest of it out and maybe drill and tap it and its a huge pain for nothing.

Didn't you need to use headers, or at least mod the exhaust in some way for the SAS to work out properly? That was my only real reason for going with headers at all.
