Yes, Iv'e searched, yes I know there is a mod and it's supposed to work, but I've got my hands on a VQ35 Pathfinder coolant bypass and except for the thermostat found in the truck bypass, I just can seem to find any benefits/difference in them, can anyone tell me of clarify me this????
I've even got the part# 11060-5w900

 

Where the thermostat goes you installed a cap/fitting that connect to a spot on the block that is normally blocked off

 

^^^what he said^^^

 

for extra cooling i presume? where does the thermostat go then?

 

Yes better flow.

You still keep your stock thermostat in it's stock location

 

This is a low cost do it yourself option.
It does not use the extra thermostat, but flows all the time.
Coolant temps remain the same as before as the OE thermostat is still opening the same as normal & restricting total flow when the motor is cold

 

Not bad but I prefer the Pathfinder mod as the fittings you have there are about 1/3 the size

 

So, how hard is the do it yourself on this?

Both mods flow from the opening in the back of the V.
When you check the openings to the block at the bottom of that cover, you will see they are only small.
The Pathfinder flow is only utilised when the aux thermostat opens under extreme heat conditions. Mine flows all the time yet still runs at the same temps under normal conditions.
Under extreme conditions the pathfinder mod will flow more but both do the job of bypassing some of the water from the 2 rear cylinder heads.

 

is this the same thing as what they recomend when installing a MotorDyne spacer, I did something similar. Has to be closed when external temps are above 55.
