how can i get more hp and torq without spending an arm and leg

 

Probably not a good thread for this section. Might want to try your respective gen section and searching. Plenty of info out there.

 

You need to be more specific then that

 

well i have 160hp and about 180ish pound of torque....i need to get it at least 175-190 hp..... torque wise at least 200-210.... arm and a leg i will spend about $1,000

 

What engine do you have? VG or VE?

If you have a VG I dont think those TQ #s are even possible to put down to the ground with just bolt ons (some one with real 3rd gen experience step in and correct me if I'm wrong on that) I'm sure with Z32 cams and pistons it would get closer to it, but that would break the $1000 budget.

 

Not specific enough for this section. Moved.

 

Nitrous. Under a grand, lots of cheap (relatively) power.

 

For 1 Z32 cams will not go in a VG. Number 2 pistons won't do any good.


Best thing would be your basic bolt ons. UDP Flywheel Y-pipe. with the nitrous. Also if your an auto look into a 5spd swap.

 

Yes they well in a VG30DE

 

Best bang for the buck. warp speed y-pipe.
Questions such as this are best asked in the Noobs area!

 

NAWZ. The big ones. Two of 'em.

Want to go fast for $1000? Sell your Maxima. Take that money and the extra $1000 and buy american iron.

 

buy VE 5sp and do some minor modes on it like CAI, warpspeed y pipe and advance some timing...and u will get wat u have explained in this thread

 

pretty much what I was going to say.
I was going to be more specific and say an LT1 powered F-body or B-body if you need the 4 doors or want a wagon.

 

IBTL.

 

buy a wrecked vq maxima , and do an engine swap.

 

put $1,000 and your max down on a fox body 5.0....not trying to be mean but dude its maxima, these aint racecars.

 

Quickest and cheaper option, what burhan92SE said, but that option is a limited horizon. If you wanted to spend more money later on forced induction, then a VQ swap would be the way to go, as BenStoked said. The VQ30DE will hold up better under pressure of forced induction, not to mention it will last longer, and of course, newer technology is always better.

Little mods if you dont plan on doing much more to it.
Engine swap if you want to take it further one day.

Still, there's no replacement for displacement. Every 3.0 engine has its limits.
