Uh..
1) If you have a 91se w/ the VG30 engine. That chip would have to make 70hp. which is about 55 hp too much.
2) If you have the VE engine, that chip would have to get you 40 hp which is about 25 hp too much

Even chips for turbo cars usually don't yield that much hp.

the chip is not the only mod that gives the HP. There is 230HP from the chip, exhaust, intake and gearbox.

Ah, you are going to have to explain how a VG maxima with a stock 160hp engine gets 70hp from a chip, exhaust and gearbox. Gear boxes don't add hp. If the Japanese boxes are geared differently then it's more like you dyno'ed in the wrong gear. If you dyno is 3rd gear, it's going to give a false (read high) reading. What ecu are you using and what are the gear ratios for the JDM tranny vs USA tranny.

Hey quit pickin on him hes only thinking wishfully!!!
Cant beat a man down for having high hopes!!
sorry there is no way you have 230hp
no way in hell!!!! you would have to do alot to the vg to yield that!! Maybe closer to 200hp is more realistic.

Re: 17 rims

I'll have to see. I would like to sell it as a package but if I have to I will sell it part by part. The rims are clean, and have been on the car for about 3 months. I would need at least $2000 CDN for them since they cost me $3000. e-mail me at maxforsale@dnrsystems.com and we will talk.

Re: Uh oh.....

If you guys know as much as you say you do, you would know that compression ratios, the bore and gearing add more HP to a car. Don't think that only a chip can do it. A chip is just the beginning.

intake = 5

y pipe = 12

hi flow cat = 2

muffler = 5

advance timing = 1

udp = 3

ecu = 12

stock hp = 160

total = 200

just a estimate here but yea, 200 does sound more real. are you running nos or custom turbo/sc? cause i just don't see how your car got 230 from a n/a vg...please explain in detail so that i can also enhance the capabilites of my vg.

True.....

but even if he did all those mods it'll be 200 at the crank and nothing close to 200+ at the wheels(where the power really counts IMO), but of course he failed to clarify that as well.... we'll see......

Re: Re: Uh oh.....

Oh then please elaborate in complete detail how you got 230hp out of a vg na. Now I'm not trying to knock you and I hope you sell your car, but I seriously doubt you have a 230hp car to sell.

1) Gears do NOT add hp. If you read my other post, you would know this.
2) Yes compression, heads etc all have the potential to make more hp, but since you don't mention ANY OF THIS and I surely would if I was selling my car, I assume you don't have never ever opened your engine for mods or otherwise.


I find your lack of information concerning your 230hp entertaining at most.

No one has scared me off, frankly i don't have all the time in the world to read all of these post everyday... I have a life. I don't mean to sound rude.. I will post my dyno results when i have a chance to show all of you so called enthusiasts that it is possible with the right kind/amount of work. Brakes have been taken care of. the 2.5" drop is due to cut coils (not recommended) the ride sucks, the car sticks to the road and corners well but.. well if anyone has cut coils they know. I cut them as a temporary measure because i wanted to eventual get coil overs. oh well. Think what you will.. but frankly, i don't care. if all of you put your heads together you may come up with some ideas... oh by the way did i mention that i build drag cars for a living???

Translation: get a life you idiots and stop questioning me.

Why? What's wrong with questioning you. Thus far, we have only your text for the 230 hp claim--a feat no one has achieved with a NA VG Maxima.

I don't mean to sound rude..


What you mean and what you've posted are 2 different things.

I will post my dyno results when i have a chance to show all of you so called enthusiasts that it is possible with the right kind/amount of work.


You have yet to list the work.

the 2.5" drop is due to cut coils (not recommended) the ride sucks, the car sticks to the road and corners well but.. well if anyone has cut coils they know. I cut them as a temporary measure because i wanted to eventual get coil overs. oh well.


Cut springs = stupid, ridiculous mod.

Think what you will.. but frankly, i don't care. if all of you put your heads together you may come up with some ideas...


Translation: You are ALL dumb#$#@#$ for questioning me. How dare you!

oh by the way did i mention that i build drag cars for a living???

haha
What does that have to do with getting a NA VG Maxima to 230 ponies on a dyno?

Us idiot enthusiasts await your response.

I've read your posts, just post what you did to the engine to get 230hp in detail. Just shut me up or something.

If you can't spell posi right(possy), I have doubts about you. But then again, you build drag cars for a living right?

Dang!! I hope to get about 230 HP with my turbo'd VE!!! (well maybe 240) I don't think it isn't possible to get 230 but when you got the Z31 turbo making 205 or so, and then you say that the same engine without the turbo is doing 230 then I want to see what you've done. Maybe I can take some lessons from someone who builds drag cars for a living and get my maxima into the 12's and my bike into the 10's.........

Just Food For thought

Just in my opinion, if i had a 230 hp na Vg, i wouldnt think twice about selling the car. It takes a lot of work to get a NA car to even have that much Hp.

Just one final thought....

you claim 230hp, but have no current dynos.....uhhhh...then how do you know you're pushing 230 to begin with? (remember "butt dynos" and Stillen HP charts are questinable!!) And since you're such a car savy "drag car" guy why not explain how you reached 230 on an NA VG, you can share it with some fellow enthusiats, right?? in your original post you failed to mention these "extra" engine mods which you are now throwing around in your new posts.....shoot, I can say "Stage II cams" and "ported heads" all I want...now do you believe I have a 450hp VG on my tricycle!?

thats two 's in the above question....got any answers???

So, you're selling a car with a ride that "sucks."
Hmmm...tempting

Think what you will.. but frankly, i don't care. if all of you put your heads together you may come up with some ideas...
Wait, are you trying to sell your car or not? Do you really expect someone to want to buy your car without knowing what all you have done to it? Especially considering that you have admitted to doing something to it (cutting the coils) that, ahem -

oh by the way did i mention that i build drag cars for a living???
- one of your great expertise would not recommend?

Well, I've seen stranger things (the SHO Taurus motor in the Festiva comes to mind), so I'm not disputing you at all!! I just think, as a fellow enthusiast, I'd like to know just what it'd take to get a Max to have that kind of hp gain. But you can rest assured, I won't flame you about your claim.

All that is being said is that 230hp is very impressive from a VG engine, and we would like to know exactly how it was done, and to see the evidence of such claims.
