i was workin on tha max saturday morning, finishing puttin the dynomat, and my best friend said "hey you got the interior out lets go to the track and run em" why not i think i can take his se-r. anyway were in the pits hookin up the NOS and some *** unloads his 1970-something rust bucket of a drag car and rolls it into my newley painted and kitted max. bumper, grill,hood, pass fender......gone. got the ferner and hood replaced today, replaced my kit bumper with the factory and iam making the grill tom. but my fans are not working and my radiator is cracked!!!! thats a good thing, AFTERMARKET TIME!!!! whats the best rad/fans to use??? and since i got it apart what about a trans cooler, my old one was too small

 

The Z31 guys use the permacool 16in E-fan http://www.thumper300zx.com/modifica...onversion.htm. Trans cooler hayden model #401 or 403 will be fine. Also you can buy a mechanical temp gauge from any auto parts store and use it to read trans fluid temp.

 

So i guess that means that you didn't get to run your car? Do you have any idea what it runs?

 

nope. didnt get to run it. i am hopeing its faster than my honda that ran 11:03. thats my best run. i figure bigger motor + more nos =faster car. first run i hope ill pull some where in the high 12's then ill dial it in. hope to get it below 11 without turbo

 

are you talking 1/4 mile times or 1/8 mile?

 

1/4mi.........1/8mi tracks suck

 

Unless you have some monster boosted VG there is no way in hell its running 12s or even 13s. I'm going to call BS until I see some pics or proof of the setup. I can tell you now that on a stock motor even a 100hp of n2o would only net high 13's tops and that is with slicks/race gas/weight reduction. Now if you have an auto with just a 50hp shot of n2o expect to run mid-low 15s. Also your car is probably about 800lbs heavier than your previous honda (what honda car was that too?).

 

bigger motor = faster?

not entirely true. i just hope you have a ton of boost and serious motor work done to be running 12's...

 

Yeah, I agree with Nismo, there's no way in hell your running 12's or 13's with a stock motor and N20. Hell, a Dodge Viper ACR pulling over 450+HP out of an 8.0L V10 runs a 12.19 sec. 1/4 mile. Other cars that run the 1/4 mile in 12 seconds include the Shelby Series 1 Supercharged, Ferrari 360 Modena, and the Corvette Z06. So if your claim is true, your 14+ year old Maxima is in with some exclusive company.

Now don't get me wrong, an old Maxima could certainly get close to those numbers, but it would take a turbo, some massive engine work, N20, and a visit to Jenny Craig.

lets see....... nope i have no engine work done. only the standard rebuild. you know ported, polished, balanced, blue printed, forged pistons oh and i got the basic trans rebuild too. you know auto, shift kit, lock out, manually shift every gear, nope now engine work done. and dont ever tell me i cant get a MAX TO RUN 12'S, ill cut the body off and weld it on a frame with a 1400hp nitro motor,then what. all those exotic cars you listed that run 12-13's 1/4, a little airintake and exhaust work puts em in 10-11's trust me i know. as for the twin turbo your right the 1st ones on. now where to put the second one i dont know. maybe above the motor?

 

the honda was a 94 civic hb it had bout $7000 in motor work, my 89 crx was runnin high 12 and my 86 hb was in the mid 13's and if thats not fast nuff we can get the rail out of the shop 2189 dyno hp 1/4 6:39

 

I think that those exotic cars that I listed already have the best intake and exhaust made for them. I doubt that Ferrari is going to go all out and make their car with the best performance racing parts available and then skimp on the exhaust or intake.

And how would you know how to get those cars in the 11's, are you saying you've owned a Ferrari or a Viper now?

-C-

 

aunt got a ferrari and yes the intake and exhaust is restricted to pass dot/epa regulations, thats why the first thing you do to them is put on turbi exhaust on them and a chip. as for the viper the air box is small, just like in the z-07 corvette, change it and you get 35+hp on a corvette. the only viper ive worked on is my friends and he had a twin turbo hennessy venmon so not too much was needed.

 

When I see it, I'll believe it. Post some pics of your Maxima next to your friends Hennessey Viper or aunt's Ferrari. Otherwise, you're just blowing smoke.

Oh, and I think Nismo's still waiting to see those dyno results.

What compression pistons are you running? Who has done the tuning on the engine and what size/type injectors are you using? What cam grind and intake manifold are you using too? Assuming you did 10.1cr pistons the engine would only make around the same power as a VQ does stock with some mild motor work. Not enough to run 12s on just n2o consistantly. I'm really interested in your setup please don't hold back on the details.
This is a ricer excuse/rant. If you really did have the 12 or 13sec hondas you would know what it would take to make a 12 sec maxima? BTW what type of engine did your honda's use? Was it a D16, B18 or H22 and what type of engine management did they run?.
This isn't a fact. It would take at least 100-300hp to get a solid 12 sec car into the 10-11sec range given it has best traction. Most of those exotics come from the factory pretty much tuned as well as possible. I don't believe they would put a very restrictive intake/exhaust on a $100K+ car.
It won't work period, no way no how. I've taken measurements and everything it is impossible without modifying the firewall or doing severe chassic work. Besides twin turbos double the cost and don't really make more power than a good single. Now with your 12 sec honda I assume it would turbocharged, you should have known this already.

Don't take it personally but this sounds like alot of BS, I'd be more than happy to send congrads on the setup if there is proof. I want to see timeslips and engine bay pics. I know that if I had a 12sec honda everyone would see my timeslips.

 

I agree your stuff is BS until pics are up., why not show pics of it now in Progress lets see that single turbo installed and engine not done. Atleast back your info up. Even if you did get so much to try to get 12s youd blow the freakin engine. It cant take it. Dude for what youre talking about alot of **** on your car seems to be undone. Is all I can say is Detonation is a bit**!!

 

ok whats left of the 12 sec honda is in a junk yard in lufkin tx. it was stolen and stripped, the crx is running around houston tx. and the other hb is in a storage shed in central tx. along with a few of my other cars. they stayed in tx when i moved to south carolina. as for the internals of the max...no idea bought it that way. all the guy said when i bought the car was it had the same internals as his 300zx that he races in baytown tx. and handed me a recipt with all the work that had been done to the car. i have no idea what he was going to do with the car. but it cane with the motor and trans done at hocous pocous in houston tx. and all kind of electronics like a hands free phone, fax machine, voice controlled 50 cd changer, lo-jack, and remote start. oh and who ever said 1 turbo wolnt fit.......you have no idea. it does now two dont

 

What in the hell has this guy been smokin? If he has such knowledge, where are the pics? Or can't he figure out how to work the digital camera either? Or maybe when he bought it from some dude down the street, he gave him receipts from Best Buy saying how it came with 1 meg of memory, and a 20 hour battery pack, and had infinite zoom. Oh well

 

You'd have to have at least 400+ HP. And I know, even if you have a rebuilt tranny, it won't hold up, it'd shift into second and you CV-Joints would bust all over the track... I have a '70 Chevelle 396(402), I'm probably getting 495+ HP and @ 0.542 reaction running 12.5s on average. And I know for damn sure my '88 Max can't keep up with it... If you'd like to race I'd be more than glad to go-round-about.... I'll be in San Antonio, and Austin... should be there the 1st... maybe we can meet up at the Texas Heat Wave Show...

 

He can't race his super-Maxima anymore cause he torched it. Read the post "fire in tha hole". He gives a really detailed illustration of how his Maxima went up in flames. It would have been sad if it were actually believable, but in reality it's quite humorous. And if his Maxima really did go up in flames, it couldn't have happened to a better person.

dude your chevelle might have a sl of power but weight is what slows them. hondas are light and if you can get the front not to spin then your gone. whens the texas heat wave??? cuz if i cant make my car sure will. not the max but something that will smoke you 70. it will be a 1970 car too. if you see the power house booth it will be in there.

 

Easy, Easy...

 

Texas Heat Wave Show is July 19-21. I have 2 Chevelles... '70 & '71. Although, neither will be there, I'm sure my buddy has something that can beat your matchbox cars... VROOOOOOOOM VROMM BUDIN' ERRRRRRKK! See ya at the show, I'll be looking for you're 70's model hot-rod. Look for me, I'm about 6'3"-6'4" @ 200lbs I'll be sure to be wearing a Beyond Audio T-Shirt, there will be about 5 or 6 of us with the shirts, so just ask for Andrew... Brian is the other big guy, don't pick on him he's a master in knujitsu-kong-fu-yo-yo-homey-yo! I'll just throw you in an Anaba demo and crush you will bass! just kiddin'!

88maxyadayadayadabsbsbs, please consult with Noah Webster regarding the following: neophyte, pathological, untruth.

 

 

Beyond Audio is out of Canada, but mostly the reps and the guys on Team Beyond will be there from Texas, and I'm coming from Georgia... I'm leaving here @ 8 tonight you guys cross fingers and hope I don't get shot down by one of those sorry bastards out in the middle east...

And wasn't it a few years ago, Nissan had a commerical where a black Maxima was cruzin' around and a bird was trying to bomb all over the freshly waxed Max? Check this **** out, no really! It's bird ****. haha probably a record or something...(it's mine)

You guys know I have the loudest Max on the forum, right?

Somebody prove me wrong(and 88Max2nv, I know the Team Gates Bronco, w/ 46 Kicker L7's is not yours) and buy a nice system from me, I'll be sure to cut you guys a killer deal.

Forget taking on the 70 chevelle. I'll bring my 1980 Yugo with a V-400
engine, twin turbo with supercharged timing belt, and finally warp
nacelles tires. It'll make 0-60 in -5 seconds and send you back in
time. Don't ask me about 1/4 mile. I'm afraid to try it. I believe I
should have no problem beating ya....

I just realize my yugo with v-400 engine was stolen in hollywood. I
guess I'll have to bring my vette. My chevy chevette with v-1000
motor.... Get my point??

Mike

 

that's a good one mikelly!

Well, I'm in Texas made it safe and sound... it's a flood over here, stupid Texans can't make gutters for the water... how lame...

-Andrew

 

not the gates bronco. its a black ford excursion, it belongs to or was done by infinity customs

 

maxima 88 what syster do you have in your ride. is it a demo car or a daily driver.
