Got pics?? ... If you have seen them, you should have pics or a website right?
But off hand I wouldn't be so eager to swap an enemic 160hp engine with one that already put out 190hp

apearently they make 250bhp stock but i dont see how you could fit an inline 6 into a FWD max with out making it RWD and cutting the **** out of the firewall and if you go through all that trouble why not use a RB26DETT or VH45DE with a BIG T

I saw a website ( ill get the link later ) where someone dropped in an rb25det into a civic ( sideways ) just like our engines..he said all he had to do was fabricate some kind of plate to bolt onto the tranny..im just asking a general question here..since they are both nissans.
I'll go to my bgoy's house since he has both cars laying in the garage junked and see if the rb25det he bought for his 240sx swap could even fit in his maxima's engine bay sideways.

I'm just wondering if someone could fit one into a civic, why not a maxima...lol

Do that first, then come back and ask questions.
remember you have to fit the tranny on the end of it as well... and the stock engine & tranny only has about 2" between the frame rails.
so the RB has to be less than 2.5" longer than the VG or VE.....

personally, i'd stick with a turbo VG or VE as the low end torque would be so much better to get these heavy cars going. the RB engines are high revvers. they aren't bad at all, but they just take some rpm's to make real good power.
on top of that parts would be easier and cheaper to get for the VG and VE compared to a RB engine.

To make a maxima rwd it will cost $$$$$$$$. Even though you can get a r32 gtr for less than $60k, It will probably cost that in parts and labor to make the maxima rwd.
