Project Pathfinder
Part 8: Headwork
By: Mike Kojima
As we have reached the limit in bolt on potential for Project Pathfinder we now delve into building the ultimate tow motor. The ultimate tow motor is probably the ultimate off road motor and perhaps the ultimate motor for a heavy clumsy SUV. Our motor will be built to emphasis low-end torque, better for pulling, good fuel economy and the ability to run on lower grades of gas. Since we are cheap bastards and this is just our tow/daily transportation vehicle, we placed additional emphasis on staying away from exotic and expensive parts, rummaging in our spares bin of factory Nissan parts.
