same issue on my 07 Xterra - I think the valve cover leaked oil into the exhaust and ruined the upstream oxygen sensors and clogged the upstream catalytic converters. I thought it might be a fuel delivery issue but when I removed both upstream O2 sensors, it started, idled, and ran fine (nothwithstanding the exhaust noise and smoke coming through the O2 sensor holes in the cats.

Are you ever gonna make a part 2 to this?

Will this work on a 2023 frontier 4x4

I'm now on my second Xterra. My first one got the dreaded clogged cats around 225k miles. I hollowed them out and drove it another 30k miles until the engine decided to blow. Now I have another x with 160k miles. The cats clogged a couple days ago 2 miles away from my destination. I had it towed back home and plan on gutting those bastards tomorrow. Seems to be a common problem. Sure wish I knew what was causing it.

So what should I do to extend my front brake lines?

Drives me nuts as with my 2006 dodge sprinter I never can remember where they hide the steering angle sensor calibration… after 8 hours I managed to find it a few days ago but the other computers decided to reject the new steering angle sensor so I am just trying to go back but I can’t remember where I was to find the steering angle sensor calibration option as it isn’t in the spot where it should be the ESP “Electronic stability program” so dumb that whoever programed my autel maxiM IM508S was not very organized

What about brakes and struts from a Titan?

I see the Zaku II shirt you got there. There are a ton of forums out there if you look hard enough on the internet. If you upgrade from the VQ40 to the VK56, you gain over 100 torque. Harrop makes a supercharger that is safe for a stock VK56 in addition to being authorized for use for all 50 states. The Armada and Titan use the same chassis frame for the Xterra and Frontier if it's second gen. The only difference is that the Armada has rear individual suspension.

I know this video is not new but I just bought this one today and a serious question, how good is this for a DIY person? I’m not a professional but I do work on multiple cars here and there and just wondering how well this will serve me. Thank you for reply in advance.

I did the swap and I put stock coil overs with a spacer and it dropped my front almost to my wheel wells you need the bigger shocks

What year and mileage was your frontier?

Can I used my six speed manual transmission 07 Xterra with the Titan VK56?

thanks for the info

Does the frontier trans bolt to the titan motor? I've been told it does. I have the 4.0 v6 frontier, and it's a 6 speed. Year is 2015, and I wanna put a titan engine in after my v6 dies and still keep the manual trans and 4x4. Any insight would be appreciated

I also bought an engine from the same seller! Please tell me if your engine was ok. I’m half way into a swap and I realize now they have terrible reviews.

Im getting worse mpg than that mpg with the 4.0 and titan swap, with 285/75's 33's. For instance my drives from ND down to the southern plains to chase storms (not including chase days because that is a lot of idling and hard accleration) is about 12.8 mpg at 65-70. That is approx what Im getting up here on the highway as well.

I don't see the sway bar? Is there a way?

Oh god this bring back nightmares 😂

Did it end up being the catalytic? also which ones did you replace? my 08 pathfinder is doing the exact same thing, i changed the spark plugs and cleaned the injectors and the problem persists. thinking of cats next

LOL Does it improve fuel economy...That is such a ssstttuu.....great question.

I recently purchased a vq40 for my xterra from AA auto also I really want to see how it turned out. Was the engine ok!?

If I already have a lift kit (coilover), could I just run that without the spacer?

Not neccesarily a question on the VK swap, but did you swap the axles/ suspension components from the titan over to the frontier?

How the wiring connect?

Review of the finished product?

Hey, quick question. Where can I find a locking rear differential for a reasonable price. I was given a rebuilt R-180 with the 3.36 gear ratio but can’t find a decent price on the locking rear differential. I know I could change out the ring & pinion. But would rear like to have the locker

7:47 to run the stock differential you use infinity QX80 axles no custom axles needed

So for my 11 frontier I can buy 11 Titan arms and rods then put my +2 struts in? With the QX axles of course.

Thanks for the info, great idea.

Which begs the question, why not make the V8 an option to start with?

Hi Andy, great info. I just Vk swapped my Frontier, I still have my Vk Pathfinder donor. If I wanna upgrade the brakes on my frontier, I can use both the front and rear calipers and rotors off the pathfinder correct?

This video made me a subscriber 👍

I’m running pathfinder LE brakes with 16 inch sv wheels. 1.5 inch wheel spacer and a little bit of material removal on the pathfinder caliper.

What brake hose do I need to purchase?

If Titan swapped up front would it make sense to do a Titan rear end swap to keep the lug pattern the same front and rear?

Do I see 5100's in the back there? Sick build, now I know where my VK is going if/when my titan shiths the bed

Cold ones and an engine swap :D yea this guy's an engineer! Coolest video I've seen in awhile.

So I really want t to do this to my 2016 frontier desert runner. One question is that I also want to put leveling spacers on to give me a 2” additional lift. Is that possible? I’d like a 6” suspension lift, with the 4” Titan swap. Could I get longer radflow shocks that would help me achieve this?

How would you even things up in the back?

Does your MPG get better? Perfect response 😂😂😂

Thanks for sharing!! Love the fact you pointed out the upper control arm is also stock Titan and you don't have coil bucket. I am currently piecing my titan swap suspension for my Xterra

How durable will it be with stock parts? I have a stock 2016 desert runner. Could I use my stock billstiens?

Wait, do I need to titan swap my spindle?

Great Content. Andy where are you located?

Andy, I did a VK56 swap on my 2wd 05 Pathfinder and the gas mileage improved quite a bit. With the 2wd R51 having a 3.133 rear axle ratio, the VK purrs at barely 3K rpm at 100 mph. I seriously get about 26 mpg on the highway, whereas the VQ40 could manage about 23 mpg if I kept it under 70 mph. I don't expect that anyone doing the VK swap on a 4wd will share my experience with gas mileage.

The lack of change in these trucks over the years and how it's all compatible amazes me too.

So with this budget T-swap I could use stock frontier coilovers with a 2-2.5 in spacer and some adjustable cam bolts and be somewhat aligned/ lifted? I would do it for science, but atm it is my daily 😂

Engines don't blow up to often on Toyotas

If I go threw the trouble to v8 swap it want be with a Titan motor would be a LS

Awesome thanks for the info. Exactly what I was looking for. Any info on a the budget rear lift to level it? Some rear info would be much appreciated.
