i would never, ever, ever hit the rev limiter on our cars. the rev limiter on these cars is a fuel cut limiter. whenever i hit the rev limiter (which of course is on accident) the knock reading on the s-afc goes pretty high. not good at all.

note the power curve starts dropping like a rock after 5000rpm. there's still plenty there at 5500-5800rpm to make it get up to that speed... but the higher RPM you go, the less power you have. by 6500rpm, you don't have much power at all, and the engine just can't push a hole that big in the atmosphere.

ok, ok... my intake pipe popped off so we put it back on and then tried it again but then the other coupler somehow broke so i couldn't get any good numbers. this was also with that pos broke turbo. should be a bit better now.
this was on a mustang dyno so i guess the numbers are supposed to be a bit higher.

depends on the clutch, track, tires, and how I feel like driving.
I got my best times by launching at 5k and slipping the clutch. but it also ruined the throwout bearing in 5 launches at the track.
just play with it and develop your own style for launching. all of the typing and instructions in the world wont' do any good unless you have time in the seat to practice.

no roof = no sunroof.
i posted the mods that came to mind first, the secret sauce, is well, secret sauce.
i shifted at 6400 on all my passes {after countless hours of dyno time}
the major mods i did were the weight savings, and well i suck as a drive {bwhahahaahah ok maybe not}
i dropped half a second by adjusting myself as a driver <---the best mod you can do to a car

Bryan, what do you think is the next best mod to do after you have done the basic bolt-ons such as y-pipe, CAI, UDP, high flow cat, better clutch, lightened flywheel, 5* timing advance? What kind of stuff did you do to cut down on weight? What size and kind of wheels/tires did you run? Also, maybe you should start a "Bryan H" thread so people can see some of this stuff without having to look into this dying thread. BTW-I can't believe how long this thread has gone on.

i would port the tb and port match in the intake manifold
dyno proven {for me at least} at 6 hp and 13 ft lbs
when i drag raced i ran the stock size tires in front and 17's in the rear, why? not a clue why i did it, but never the less i did, im sure i could have gone faster with out the 17's and out the stockers back on
weight savings included, no door braces {crash bars} front and rear bummper supports were severely modded, gutted trunk, very little sound deading, thats a basic run down

didn't cost me a dime to do it, i had access to a die grinder and a measureing device at the time, so i went to town.
there is a huge thread about this done last year on how i ported mine, and on tips i gave to people to do it.
6 and 13 on my car, it might be more might be less on yours, but there is hp to be had

This is my main webpage:
http://www.littlebabywebs.com/maxima/maximalbw.html
There is a link on there entitled "Ported throttle body and matched intake WITH porting instructions". More specifically, here's the link:

Hope this helps some people. That's why I made it.

everytime i look at those picture it makes me wish the vg didn't have the crappy dual butterfly setup. maybe i should start looking into the pathfinder intake manifold and see if i can make that thing fit.

i disconnected the water from the water jacket so i wonder if i can fill the jacket with something and then port the crap out it. i may try that with my spare tb if i can find something to fill it with.
#135
Yeah, thanks aaron, I have seen that and when I'm ready to do it I'll definitely need it. I misunderstood Bryan, I though he was saying he portmatched the TB part of the manifold and the lower part or something. Just portmatching the TB and the where it connects to the manifold and getting 6 and 13 is incredible. I'm at work and I have 8 hours to look through old threads so I'll look for yours Bryan. BTW Bryan, did you ever compare 1/4 mile times using your stockies on the front and then using your 17's on the front? I'm getting rid of my 17's and getting 16" Rotas that are 13.5 a piece.
I found a thread with some of Bryan's mods BTW in case anyone is interested: https://maxima.org/forums/west-coast/1848-today-2wks-until-sf-meet-maybe.html

someone did some diggin!
17's vs 15's
14.3 on 15's
14.6 on 17's {50 lbs with tires each}
thats only a small portion of the mods i had
add the others i posted on here earlier, plus the weight savings, and the secret sauce {might have to do a search to find that one}

i used to sit for hours on end looking at the motor and playing with things on it to see what affect it would have on how it ran. what worked and what didn't. playing with the powervalve, timing, blah blah blah, and finally came up with the combo of mods that worked good for what was available on the market at that time.
and some things that were not.
weight is the enemy of every car.
power to weight blah blah, so on and so forth.
my 76 280 had 70 hp stock, now it has 320. and is going on a diet, same hp rating {off bottle} just faster!
i learned more by tinkering on my own then reading crap on the net, when i foudn this site i was already running 14.8's 14.7's and just got faster through trial and error

Yeah, I did a little digging at work today, I can look and talk at the same time. 3/10 difference with the different tires huh? Sound's like it will definitely be worth it for me to go with the 16" rota's instead of my lovely 17's. Masssmail is trying to get me to port the TB soon, I'm motivated with the numbers you showed earlier bryan. How much should I take off? I'll keep searching for your instructions, and keep aarons.
#143
Let me get back to you on that one Bryan, and thanks for the help. I'm going to be doing a KS redo soon so it would be a good time to do the intake manifold while it's already off the car. PM me or post on here how much you'de charge for the throttle body. I think ultimately I may turbo this thing. Another fellow .org member has a little experience and I think it would be worth it. You can only bolt so much stuff on the thing before you run out of ideas. And in case someone else reads this, this is not an official announcement that I'm turboing my VE, I don't want to get flamed for making claims and not following through with them.

Well this summer before I take my car to get the VB mod so I can get a harder shift. Best part is that it only costs 380 installed. After that comes the tranny cooler and possibly a turbo (Next years mod)
#147
the run about $45...install is pretty simple,you can do it yourself(mount cooler, remove old hoses, run new hoses from tranny to cooler and back) but if you get someone to do it look at paying probably an hour worth of labor
#151
N/A? I did see a N/A 3000 v6 motor like ours that was putting out 300 hp, that would be nice, but the price isn't. Forget the website but it was like $6,000 for the motor. I might be willing to turbo in the future so if I did that I'd expect at least 300-350 from that if possible.

Almost $9k lol. Would be pretty cool to have though. If I win the lottery, I'm getting it

if you win the lottery i can guarantee you're not buying a motor for your 89 maxima
#155
There's a lot of all motor ideas. A motor is a motor. You can do 10.5 compression pistons, which might help. Good cams. Good ECU tuning. More weight reduction. Variable intake for my auto. Intake spacers. Headwork. Headers. There's a lot of stuff I haven't done yet. Oh yeah, more weight reduction.
