Encounters of the ricer kind
There's a clown here who says that he loves Maximas, blah blah but he does not see any point in racing a Maxima. I see his point in that a Maxima is NOT a "race" car, but that does not take away from the fact that it has one of the best engines ever made and is quick for the type of car that it is. He keeps raving about some MX6 that he had runs 14.3 bone stock and a Scoupe that was in the 12s with a turbo talon engine... etc...
Anyway, this guy is pulling some "Fast and Furious" talk on me, offering up his pink slip to me saying that there is no way a Maxima will get into the 13s without a supercharger (gen 4 Maxima). Now, I told him that a Maxima can get into the low 14s easily without a Supercharger. 13s wouldn't be a problem if traction was not an issue, but unfortunately with FWD we have to contend with that.
Now, my question is to the guys who have done these mods... what times are you running (no forced induction):
y-pipe
b-pipe
test pipe
MEVI
JWT ECU
Pop charger + midpipe
For the guys who have a 1995 5-spd or a gen 4 5-spd for that matter, with the above mods, what kind of times have you been putting up? Thanks for your help guys.

It is possible to get into the 13's with a n/a 4th gen. Its difficult though, and it requires slicks.

But I wanna get an idea before I go doing that, because I don't race on other people's timeslips like this guy seems to like to do.

i had the same intake on my previous car, a 96 200sx SE-R(different fitment of course), and i swear by it. i really like the option of carbon fiber intake piping, which i got. i suppose you could say i prefer it but i never used a frankencar intake or stillen pop charger so i have no other source of comparison. i really don't think there's all that big of a difference. as long as it's not the stock, restrictive airbox it's an improvement
