I've been seeing alot of rangers and other small trucks doing a complete 4BT Cummins swap in the trucks and was wondering if anyone has ever done it to an X?
I have also been thinking about this, since I got my X. I have owned a Dodge quad cab dually deisel for many years and am amazed how a 3 ton plus weight truck can get almost 20mpg, all cipped out, with huge intake, 4 inch turbo back exhaust and my lead foot driving. I mean this thing makes huge power and I know the 4 BT also can make huge power. I tow a almost 40 foot toyhauler (trailer with a garage)and it is always overloaded with all my Earthly possesions and a motorcyle and a quad ATV and it still manages 15 mpg.
I will think about doing this, if my engine dies. The 4BT is a great engine and is very durable, but heavy as all get out and will need some deep thinking to make it work. They are very tall engines and that alone makes a very difficult job to fit one in an X.
I really would like to see this happen!

The first gen diesel Xterras had a sweet hood that allowed air intake thru a scoop. There used to be pictures of a yellow one on here. I'll see if I can find it...
All Xterras and Frontiers here in Brazil are Diesel's. We don't have gas ones.
The first gen of X began it's production in 2003 w/ a 2004 model and ended in 2007, as well as the previous Frontiers.
Nissan didn't continue w/ the 2nd gen X's here. Only Pathfinders...
I'm not to sure why you cannot but you can't. Since you will be the 1st to this I would love if you do a very very in depth right up build thread... I'm sure some of the other more mechanically minded fellows has the reason why.
