i wanna port my intake inlet and intake manifold on the intake and exuasht sides i need grit information like wich to use and how much i can remove my self with needing a flow bench any input would be apriciated ..also are the hp gains worth doing it my self or should i pay to have it worked on and get the heads milled bored honed and balanced? if i do decide to preform this my self ill post some pics and maybe get some kind of flow numbers of before and after:P

 

These arent american V8's, really your not going to gain ****. lol. I wouldn't pay anyone to do it unless they can garentee you some kind of increase. I did a small job on my VE and the throttle body is the only place you'll really see any gains. I dont have any experience porting a VG soooooo.....

 

if u dont think u can gain from that ur a fool air flow is esintial and since there is no after market support for intake manifolds for my vg means i have to make do with what i got :P

 

I can't wait until Aaron, Eric or Matt see this thread.

I'm really not the fool here. I simply stated it is really not worth it, the gains are so minimal I dont even really remember a difference. When I first did it I thought there was a huge difference, but that is because the first time driving my car after I did the work it was ~27*F out, man that was awesome, but then the next day when it got back to 60* the car felt like normal. Simply saying you really aren't going to see any gains, if you want to go faster, invest in a intake, exhaust, UDP, ECU then move on to nitrous or something, because you will seriously gain more horsepower by driving on a cold day than you will porting the intake runners. (The throttle body on the other hand does have gains).

Also why I'm not the fool:
should be more like:
(although that still is not perfect).....

 

Shawn, its official, you are a fool!

 

Why you got Dakota tires on your Max sig? :-)

 

Hey Mrgone,. Do you have any helpful information on porting the throttle body? Even just general advice would help...

 

get j wolf cams

 

:P Something I can do myself, that might help even a little. Not a great investment to do anything major with SOHC (VG)

 

Addae ( I still need to wire up that radar detector )

They are Durango wheels and because who else has 31's on their maxima ;-) (btw, tell me more about your dakota have any spare parts to sell (give ). I betcha have an M1, I could take your stocker off your hands ;-)

Aaron92se does. I believe his website is www.littlebabywebs.com/maxima or something like that?

 

Yeah, ok, thanks, found something posted by him, and luckily he had his website in his sig: http://www.littlebabywebs.com/maxima/maximalbw.html
heh, at a new born baby website..

 

So, from his picture, this is the best thing to do for optimal performane gains?:

 

wait we can use a 300zx ecu with our cars ? ive got a 93 so does that mean i can use the z32 ecu ? is it plug n play ???? hows that possible the z32 is a vg....

 

right now you can use the Z32 ecu if you by pass the gas tank temp sensor and use a Z32 maf.

 

any gains in HP or performance ? will the z32 ecu plug right into the maxima ?

 

I dont think there are really any gains stock, however there is a huge support for Z32 ECU tuning (I'm trying to track a few down for a project, if I get it to work right I'll do a huge write up and stuff, if I dont, well oh well, lol )
