Pathfinder, and so on. You don't need a damn JDM one what is it with all this JDM crap. Just go pull a VG33E out of a car in the junkyard or order one online.

why would you even want to buy a vg33? the vg30 can produce a buttload of power and torque with only a few modifications. The vg30 is the perfect motor to modify to make power gains. What do you think is so special about vg33? Im not sure if the work to swap a vg33 is worth it. I agree with JH though. All this JDM crap is getting kinda old.

Yes it is worth it. 10% more displacment. It is a drop in and straigt up install. Do some research it will take to long to write out in this post. The VG33ET is a highly desirable engine, and it will make more power then the VG30ET ever would.

Of course if you had the money a VG34ET from Escort racing would be really nice.
