Can we say blown engine. jk

my b, i thought you were talking about the 3.0

[thrasher]

I gotta be honest, I don't believe that he's just running a 100 shot, there is definitely something else going on. A 12.1 on a 100 shot? That is faster than a 400hp Ferrari 360 and a 500hp Ferrari 575M. And those are both RWD. Something doen't add up here.

You don't think the slicks vs. street would make the difference? If you notice in video, the Max got a great launch. Zero loss of traction.

[BP2K2Max]

i dunno either. 12.1 is really really fast. i'll bet that thing is totally gutted at least.

No, slicks don't help THAT much. I would think a 100 shot 3.5 Max with slicks could run low 13's at best.

If he did manage to achieve that time with only a 100 shot and slicks, he must have COMPLETELY gutted it, like BP said. That thing would have to lose a couple hundred pounds.

Let me clear up the doubt that seems to reside here, honestly I'm surprised by some of the members who doubt it, so here goes:

The Maxima 3.5 stock can run in 6spd form 14.2/14.1 add in headers alone will give you and extra 30 or so hp more than good enough to get you into the 13's, maybe 13.7 now add in a catback exhaust, intake or GAB, lightweight UDP, Rev Limiter Removal program<whichever you choose and I'd say you're running low 13's between 13.3-13.5.

I failed to mention that he (Jime) has done something (it is a secret for now) to manipulate the manifold but I'm certain that whatever it was has added to his numbers but the cat isn't outta the bag yet on that one.

Ok, now let's throw in the N20, we're talking 100shot, plus the slicks, let's say for arguments sake the shot is giving him at least 120hp to the wheels and all of that traction (as you can see in the video) is going to the ground so he isn't wasting time spinning as you'll tend to do in a normally aspirated Maxima, let alone a juiced one, so his power is actually being put to use.

Don't forget I said that he tricked out the manifold and as far as gutting, he didn't do anything except remove the backseat and ran on 1/4 tank 100octane<I think.

So it isn't as far fetched as you guys think, remember I think that Blu is running 13's on a stock 3.5 (Auto) Max, so factory freaks are common and let's say for argument's sake that he added that same 100shot and some headers plus all the other mods I mentioned to his ride and those slicks, then what kinda times would we be looking at then? Can anyone say 11 flat or high 10's?

Remember, you saw it on video and seeing is believing, now just wait for that 150shot, warmer weather and new slicks and 11's will be on vid for all of the doubters.

[BP2K2Max]

he's probably got a 350z intake plenum and intake manifold or something along those lines.

dude, you have got to be kidding me, 14.1 stock??? i know mag times are off sometimes but my road and track says 15.0 , and im not hating on the maxima, and a header adding 30 horsepower, COBON, does nissan use .00625" piping on the stock header?? if it really does add 30 hp what were the nissan engineers thinking. Yeah, 14.1 -> 13.7 with one breathing modification and then you go on to add intake, exhaust, and pulleys (lol) and you've dropped your e.t. almost a whole second?? i went to the track yesterday and a maxima that looked like the one in BP2K2Max's sig was running a consistent 16 flat, and if this shix about maximas dropping a second on their 1/4 mile time with i/h/e is the truth, than the maxima is born an asthmatic

Not hard. The Max will never have stock headers or much in the way of performance mods from the factory. It's a family sedan. It's the same reason that the Camry or Accord doesn't.

[ZackKVtec]

then why do they boast about its 265 horses on the commercials, when they could soo easily be boasting 295?, what im saying is, it's not true that they in fact add 30 horses

But if it was true, the max still wouldn't have headers. The reason it boast such horsepower is the because of the base VQ35 engine. It is also in the 350Z, I35, G35, Pathfinder, Altima 3.5, FX35 and the Murano I think. It's the standard Nissan V6 engine, at least today. Another in a series of top ten ranked engines.

the maxima wouldnt have an exhaust header? what are you talking about?

It would come with the stock Manifolds. I think skytorch is talking about aftermarket headers. I'm pretty sure the Headers that are made for the Max didn't make 30hp. I think it was like 7.

Its quite possible that it was a 2k or 2k1. They had the 3.0, so they would be running considerably slower. Its easy to mistake the 2k-2k1s with the 2k2-2k3s if you don't know what you're looking for.
