5th Generation HP in a 4th Generation?

How can I get the equivalent horsepower of the 5th generation maxima, 222hp, from a 4th generation, 95-96 maxima? What specifically did Nissan do to accomplish this and can I do the same to my 4th gen? If so, how?

Thanks yo!

Y-pipe and an ECU upgrade should put you close to 222hp at the crank.

you could easily get 222 crank hp....a lot of NA guys on here are running 240 crank hp or so...

I got mine from Technosquare; it's good for about 12whp so figure 15 at the crank (20% auto drivetrain loss)

with some money you can accomplish this feat easily with an ecu upgrade, vi, and maybe a upgraded exhaust.

I would think the VI and ECU would be good for more than 222 peak hp. I mean, most of the 5th gen power gains come from the VI.
