More Power!!!!!!!!!1

[Maxima Lover]

Hey guys, i am hoping to buy myself a maxima, prolly 97-99 SE standard. I want to kno , 1.) whats the max hp i can get w/o using nos and if any engine swaps can be performed, like a RB26DETT or something with more spunk then 190 hp, i will hopefully have around 6-7k to spend on parts so tell me what i should get or what wuold be the best buy's, plz let me know, thanks

Well, you can take your pick on Intakes. I personally went with Place racing's CAI with the K&N actual air filter but some say the regular intake works for them. Your Choice.... Y-pipe will add good power as well freeing up some restriction. You can then go B-pipe and Cat ( adds a little power but everything helps). Spark plugs must be changed. You can then add either a Supercharger or Turbo depending on what you wanna spend. Dude just check out www.customaxima.com!!!

for higher gains nitrous would prob be the cheapest to get done compared to SC or TC

What about propaine? I head that can give a 25-33% boost in power since it help cool the engine down.

Sorry bro, you can't put a RB26DETT in a Maxima. It is built for an AWD chassis and just plain won't fit. You see, engine swaps are pointless in a Maxima because they are built to perform well right out of the factory. Engine swaps are for civics and accords to toy around with(even though most of them can't break into 14's even with one ).

get a turbo, y-pipe, exhaust, intake, new ecu(obviously), udp, flywheel, you will be able to get around(or over) 300fwhp for that much cash

thats a new one on me

I'm new to this forum so I don't know if you're being sarcastic. Are you?

i think propanes more used in turbo diesels.

Propane on a Diesel is like NOS on a gasoline engine.

Go y-pipe - Budget Exhaust in Canada, high flow cat and cat back exhaust, and a CAI, this package is a very inexpensive way to get an additional 40 - 50 hp.

More like 25-30.

if you run propane on a diesel you can still run nos on top of that. you can get a good 150+ hp with a propane/nitrous hook up

you probably won't get 40-50 hp but you'll get a lot. the budget y adds 18 fwhp and 19 lbs/torque. the intake/exhaust is good for a decent amount more and a freeflow cat really doesn't do shit, maybe a couple horses.

it's hard to say how much power you'll get from mods. you can't just add up a bunch of numbers and say that's how much power you have.

If you are going to put in a new y-pipe and a cat back, you may as well spend the $80 US for a new highflow cat (Budget exhaust), you will probably have to use a torch to remove the rusted connecting bolts and if it is pre 97 there will be a few clogged passageways.

Even though it doesn't do "shit" it is worth doing given the level of changes you undertake doing the exhaust. We disected our 96 and found out 10% of the passageways were clogged.

If you want to debate "adding up numbers", then get serious and realize that these exhaust mods do not add any hp to the engine. These mods only let the hp being produced by the engine to be direct towards the wheels rather than against itself.

You'd be surprised how many people on Af do this
