Well yeah but it's all spectulation beucase no one has done it on a ve. I 230@ the wheels is about 260hp+ at the crank. To add to your list, headers is a must(none avail) headwork(that no one has done except Bryan?), a good kick in compression(have no idea how the shorter heads affect the cam timing(longer chain relatively) and adjustable timing gears(how to do that on a VE VTC equipped sproket is anyone's guess)

We need a FAQ about this. For one thing to get over 230hp at the wheels requires headwork and hotter cams. Then full bolt ons, ECU tuning. Plus increasing the rev limitier to 8000rpm. I believe one would have to convert back to a mechanical valvetrain since they are more effiecent at high rpm use.

They do make headers for the Maxima. When I first checked into it two years ago I was told by the manufacturer (which I thought was odd) that they were prone to cracking and the hp benifit was only around 5hp and the cost was around $600. I've been told that there are new headers out there, but I think straight piping would be cheaper and more benificial in the long run. As for the adjustable gears, I called everyone under the sun, no one makes them. Do they?

I have never seen header for a maxima. For a VG30 yes(300z powered VG30s) but not for a FWD maxima. If you want to run that high of hp, then headers would be mandatory. Just look at my sig pic(does anyone?) There's no way NE1 is gonna design a adjustable cam sproket for the intake cam(VTC side) Exhaust maybe but tuning inconjuction w/ the VTC cam advancement would not be easy.

money=power
Ok guys i know that its costly and i thought about getting a s/c fab onto the engine but the place is all the way in cali and i'm in n.y.c,that is too far of a drive and no time to leave the car there and go back to pick it up.I am willing to spend $5,500 to get the amount of power that i want in a max,so what r the steps that i have to take to accomplish my 230 wheel hp maxima.

If you've got $5500, then screw N/A. just take your car to JWT and have them install a turbo and beef up the clutch.. you'll be done in about $4000, including a new clutch. it will be more reliable, as small turbos running a little boost will be much more reliable than a built-up engine that noone at all can work on or understand if you have problems.
blah blah, just go turbo, and you can get much more reliable power for less money.

Thats like saying that you should take your 300zx to SGP to have it built up. Yet, they still have a customers car that will remain nameless *cough* Wesman *cough* who's car hasn't run right since he brought it there. Just cuz its built with your own 2 hands, in your free time, at your house doesn't mean it will break every day and be less reliable. A good example is James Farrer(GhettoMax)s car. Home built, yet still tearing up all the big time sponsored cars..

well i had a supercharger in mind but the place that would install it (climax racing)is located in cali and i'm in N.Y,and a small turbo huh well how much work is that?Nismo what would you do if you had the money to put in the car or Mattmax i'm interested in this turbo idea but jwt we all know that this would cost me an arm & a leg.

Mike, I was trying to make a point.. you stepped all over it..
building up a N/A motor like that will take LOTS of work and money.. by the time you get that engine torn apart and install all the parts needed to give it that much power, you have ZERO room for screwups.
turbo on the other hand is very tunable.. yeah, you gotta have a good shop that has a brain, but sheeit there's millions of turbo'd cars on the streets today.. any honduh race shop should be able to either do a VG-T swap or help install one if they're a good shop.. it all comes down to money, and who's willing to hang their nutz on the hood of a Max and do it.
$5500 will buy you one helluva engine around here, built by just about anyone less than Ed Pink.
(FYI, Ed Pink is the guy/shop that builds the infiniti indy racing engines 800hp out of 4 L, no prob!

NISMO IS THE F***ing man
Thanks nismo for the advise ,but i have most of the mods that you mentioned except for the y/nos/port n polished head and ecu.After i drop those in then i should see a big gain in hp,but with the nos is a 75 shot safe,and whats better nos dry fogger or jwt wet shot nos.
