ok so i have 860 dollars in my bank account and i wanted to either get A Skyline R33 bodykit of my maxima or some maxima headers and i was wondering do you guys know where i can find some headers and what the price of em is and if i get the body kit ill prob get it off ebay but i just wanted to know where i can find some headers and how much are they

 

get stillen body kit

 

I like the idea of making my car go fast before I make it look fast, but it's your money.

 

I would vote on the headers. Make it faster, and then settle down and make it look good. I mean, It is probably more fun to have it just run right by some folks and them not even see it coming.

But if you do get a body kit, I would agree with happyricefob....get a stillen one, not the skyline kit. The skyline kit looks too rice.

headers definately, performance before looks

 

I didn't think headers added that much power. From what I've read/been told (yes, it's hearsay, shoot me for it), the gains that are reported are large mainly in part due to the Y-pipe and not the headers. Personally, I'd look into the VB mod and a tranny cooler.

keep in mind that either one will have some additional costs associated...

Headers... probably minimum $500 installation, maybe more

Body Kit... around $500 painted and installed

 

Do you have any other mods? Your profile doesn't say and you don't have a sig. If you don't, I would suggest starting with the basics like Y-Pipe, Catback, DC's, Intake. Those things will put you right at your budget. Are you saying you only have $860 in the bank. What if your tranny blows and you just spent all your money on a body kit? As for your original question and comment I say headers. I would never get a bodykit because my max is my daily driver in the summer. I don't drive it in the winter so I don't have to worry about snow but the roads around here are very bad and driveways usually very steep. I would go SC'ed before I did headers because the stockers are apparently so good and you can pick up a used V1 for a little more than what you have. Thats my vote; save up $500 more and go SC'ed. J/K

 

headers add like 5 hp maybe. Right guys?

 

I do have:

CAI
Y-Pipe
Catback

Whats DC?

yea im not even bothering with the bodykit i want to get Headers and an ECU upgrade so its gonna be like 300 for heades and 321 for ECU upgrade witch is like 621 dollars....

if i go supercarged will it give me more HP thent the headers and ECu upgrade combined?

 

i think its more like 15-20Hp

ohh yea and i do have a tranny cooler

 

my frreind will put em in for free

 

The Hp is 20 with the y pipe. Its less with just headers.
Your not estimating the cost to ship the headers plus the labor to install.
Also, what ecu is 321.00? Even the g-force when it was in the group deal it was 380.00 shipped.
SC will produce way more power then the 10-15 from the header and the 10-15 from the ecu. With that combo your maybe looking at a total of 30 hp
SC is closer to 70+

 

Short headers, full headers are more like what sy0p said..

 

save more, and blow it



edit: not like waste it, like, forced induction

 

in that second link you posted "stone racing" its 300 dollars for the headers shipped i got the Ypipe already and the ECU JET upgrade is 321 dollors in a calalog i seen ill post link when i find it and my freind will put in the headers for free but umm yea the SC sounds way better but:

1) i got a stock engine (CAI Ypipe Catback) will it hurt the engine
2) whats the cheapest SC i can get (got links?)
3) do i need to buy any other parts for the SC to work

 

Jet ECU is garbage. Does next to nothing.

 

Well lets see. Since you already have a Y pipe then yeah you should get short headers.
By the way if you depend on your car to take you to work/school then don't get S/C. I'm not saying don't get it, but think about it. Putting that much stress on your engine and transmission will cause things to break. If you think you can fix all those things quick, then don't waste your money on headers and get a used S/C.
Now if you do depend on your, but you want to squeeze as much power as you can out of your engine while keeping it reliable, then headers are the way to go as well as catback, ecu, and MEVI.

 

Get in on the Technosquare GD! Only $380 rather than $595 list

I guess I suggested the super to the wrong guy. If you don't already know where to get a used one or any other parts that are necessary you shouldn't do it seeing as you will need to be very familiar with those parts to keep the car running. A used V1 can be found in the for sale section. They come up several times a year. Also, there is ebay if you trust it.

 

honestly. headers don't do much for the cash involved. if you havn't done the basic bolt-ons like i/y/e do those then i'd say drop the car, and if you don't have a leather interior get one.

so ya the body kit.

 

i think ill go with the headers since the supercharger will put alot of pressure on the engine and ill get the ecu upgrade

whats a MEVI?

 

Middle East Variable Intake. Someone called it "VTEC for Maximas". Check the stickys for more.

~THT

 

ok so i have a dilema know idont know weather to get a MEVI or headers and ECU upgrade will the mevi give me more HP then the headers and ECU and i have a warpspeed y-pipe will it mach up with the Stone Racing headers or will i need to buy their Y-pipe does anyone know?

 

The MEVI with the jwt ECU is a better choice than headers. The JWT will give you some midrange power and raise your rev limiter so that the MEVI can take full advantage. That mean your car will be more powerful trough the powerband and will make you happy.

 

In order to use the MEVI yopu will need to get JWT ECU which has the raise rev limiter which is needed for the MEVI.
The ecu is close to 600.00 plus it takes 2-3 months to recieve it..http://www.jimwolftechnology.com/customer_results.asp
The Mevi is located here http://www.courtesyparts.com/secondtier_a32.html
It builds power in the top end past the normal stock power band.
You really need to research more on the parts for the maxima before you make any descisions. It seems your lookng to just bolt on parts and gain HP, you should really research to find out what each part does so that you can decide what type of power your looking to create.

 

yea your right the mevi is kinda complicated for me i dont know very little about it and i dont go that much money soo ill stick with the headers and if i have to buy the Stone racing y pipe i wont even bother with them but if i can use my y pipe that i got from warpspeed ill get the heards and that ECU upgrade for like 20 to 25 hp gain soo ill be happy with that for the summer.
