If 2000 has the same engine as 99(VQ30DE), what gave it hp gain?
Just curious, don't the 2000 models have like 220 hp? I mean, what can we do(that the factory did) to improve our cars to that? I know the obvious(y-pipe, b-pipe. intake...etc.), but what did they do from the factory that was different? They didn't put on a y-pipe...
Any comments are welcome...

In what ways different? I mean, are there little things we can do to our cars to make them more similar? Or is the engine difference limiting us?
Sryth, I was not saying that. Of course I know that it will make the 2000 faster with a y-pipe. I was just wondering if there was any way for us to achieve what they have withough having to do an engine swap. Kind of curious.
Keep the comments coming. Thanks for posting all.

The main power difference between the DE and DE-K is the VI so the DE-K will always make more power mod for mod (including VQ's with MEVI) unless someone retrofits the DE-K VI on the DE.
And as for the cams, only the exhaust cams would prove beneficial as they have slight more lift. The intake cams would actually hurt performance ever so slightly as they have the same lift but less duration. Just reiterating what SteVTEC already said.

Thanks, Iwannamax96. I appreciate it.
I know that the 2001's are faster. I wasn't really talking about them, because that is when they changed it to like 245 hp or something, wasn't it? I have never driven a 5th gen with a stick, only auto. My 4th gen is a 5spd, and it is about as fast as some 5th gen 2000's with auto I have been around.

you got all you hp mixed up....2001 = 222hp and 2002 - 2003 = 255. 2004 and up =265
IwANnAMaX96- i was just saying that i can tell there is many different parts inside the engine as well as out. The engine revs much fast which robely means differnt valves and all that crap.

I don't think that would get it, DoGGy. When everyone else is talking about different injectors and such, the exhaust would not do it alone, I don't think. Any reasons why you said what you did?

I don't think you can just bolt on the Variable intake from a 2000 model to a 98 unless you have alittle machine work done to the heads. Besides they already make a Variable intake for 98's that bolt's on without headwork, so just get that one.
Also, I'm I missing something here? I thought that 4th gen maxima's are faster then 5th gen's in the 1/4 mile. And the fifth gen's are faster just getting to top speed? My 4th gen is an auto & I have beaten 5th gen stick's stop light to stop light with no problem's...

i was new to maximas when i bought my 99, then i realized it was a few months shy of the 222hp. hella dissapointed, i searched for weeks if anyone ever tried swapping the 98.5 into a 98. if anyone ever heard of it successfully, let know. a 32hp stock gain is worth the trouble to me.

Is $160 for a warpspeed y-pipe for ?30? whp not a better deal than swapping for an engine that is designed for another vehicle and the same or less performance gains??? I mean, I know you can put a y-pipe on the 22, but if you're gonna tune it for any racing there can't be that huge of an inherent advantage, and if there is, IT'S A MAXIMA.

Think about it...we complain about torque steer now, imagine with all the torque from that thing

Titan engines are larger than just 5.6 liter.
I know street reeper, I should be able to beat a early model 5th gen any day, and can. I was just saying, my reason in posting the thread, that if we could achieve the same hp from all engine that they do in our lighter bodies, we ought to be just awesome.
