The SC is not easily swappable, but for enough money, you can make anything fit into anything,etc.

The 2000 - 2004 Xterra is more of a tractor than a race car...A Clydesdale more than a Quarter Horse, etc.

Its a truck, with a body on frame for toughness...which means it weighs maybe a thousand pounds more than a cute ute.

So, sure, a lot more horses WOULD be fun, but, there are no magic HP beans.

You can do a few mods to get a few more HP, but to add anything with a lot mor HP, you are talking about major moolah.




Most of us settle for removal of the OEM intake baffles, maybe a 2.5" SS exhaust instead of the stock 2.25", and synthetic lubes every where we can.

That's about it for cheap, and the exhaust is still a few hundred.
