MAXIMA transplanets

i was thinking of stuffing chevy v6 into the max but hey as i read some of the other forums i see that maybe i should leave engine as but heh i always been chevy guys what are some ideas on high preform engine could i stick under the hood without killing the creature comforts

Prepare to get flamed :-) The VQ engine that the Maxima comes with is one of, if not THE very best V6 engines available.

I don't think you are going to find a chevy V6 that beats it.

:headshake

Perhaps I'm missing it...but WHY would you want to put in a GM V6 engine instead of the Maxima's V6?

Not that it would fit but the only engine from Chevy I would consider putting into my Max would be the 427 and it definitely wouldn't be anything in the form of their V6's.

Nissan makes the Best V6 in the VQ 9 years and counting according to Ward's, so why would you want to put an old pushrod OHV V6 into your Max when you already have a DOHC that is the best in the world?

Help someone make the bad man stop.

mayb ill try to put in the corvette z06 engine in my maxima. any problems?:iceslolan

Hey if v8 fits hell i be more then happy to rip out the 6 i grew up with gms thats why i am still attached this is my first car and i was thinking of geting trans am or an old zo6 but the max caught my eye i took it for test drive and fell in love with it iw as thinking about adding a monster engine into it but i am like why kill the lines of the car but now that i know nissan v6 are top line but this engine has 67k milies on it. i never leave somethine alone i got to make it mine u guys know what i mean

There are few guys on the maxima.org forums, with 1st gen. maximas which have over 400k miles on them. Still look and run fucking owesome. My maxxie has 94k miles and is still in perfect shape. If you are complaining that your maxxie has 67k miles on it, you should sell maxxie and get urself a Geo metro or something. Maximas last forever as long as you take care of them and do the oil changes at right times.

instead of tryin to put some chevy POS engine in the max, y not jus go out and get a turbo instead:confused:

Agreed get a turbo, headers and ecu and you got one fast V6.

well i am new to the max i am sayin i love the damn car over a trans or a zo6. it is perfect but u know i am trying to make it customize i went to http://www.custommaxima.com/ i want to hook the car up make it run and look nice give me some more info

someone should send this guy the vid of mardigras max beating the SS camaro. show him the real potential of our cars.

i would take a fucking Z06 over any max, any day of the week. 400+ hp and tq, RWD, plus, it's a Corvette! i WILL have one some day!

yeah the corvette z06 is awesome. gotta love that car.... its by far the best bang for the money in my opinion.

if you really wanna put a v8 in you max, why not stay nissan? its just an idea, the 4.5 thats in alott of infinti cars could be a good candidate

the Z24 engine drops right in.:biggrin:

Ya like it was said just get a nice Q45 motor or even a new 04 Maxima motor then you got a nice ride.

thanks for info the 4.5 v8 will it drop in easy or will i need to do anythig to the car to make it roomy enough to keep ac and anything

if i leave the 6 what kinda headers and intake should i get

Just get a y-pipe and shop around for your intake and find one you like the sound of. I recommend Injen, Frankencar, or Place Racing. For y-pipe, go Budget(yes, that is a brand). The y-pipe is the header mod for the Maxima.

what is website for the budget intake

My guess is that the Q45 engine will be too wide and possibly too long to fit in the Maxima's engine bay. Unless you're rebuilding the entire vehicles to go RWD, you'd have a tough time finding a transaxle strong enough for the current 4.5L V8. Besides, anything over 300hp provides extreme torque-steer. You'd be much better off beefing up the existing drivetrain.

this is not true, headers are different from y-pipe...headers carry the exhaust gases out from the engine, y-pipe connects the two headers to the cat

headers are supposed to be coming out soon, and will provide much higher gains than y-pipe, 20-30 fwhp from what i have heard

Actually, they have already tested headers for the Maxima and have found them to be useless as of now. I know what headers do and I know where they are. The reason I said the y-pipe is THE header mod for the Max is because it is comparable to the header mod for Honda's morons and I'm trying to relate to some of these dopes. Plus, the y-pipe runs off the headers.

i am lil retarded what is a mevi

With your knowledge of the Maxima, I'd leave that as a mod for a little while later. But anyway, it is a variable intake. Gives you a butt-load of power uptop, but is really complicated to install and $$.
