What can i do to gain HP
ok i want more power out of my 95 auto max and the only engine upgrade i have is the injen Cai. Im planning on buying the cattman y pipe since it gains a good amount of hp for the money....i dont want to get an exhaust due to the loud noise...nor do i want to get headers since it is said not to gain as much power as the y pipe and it is more expensive. does anyone have any suggestion on what i can do to get some hp......

y pipe/ecu/VI/turbo/charger are the best, everything else doesnt help much.. Your suspension is huge, you can lose alot of power from being stock. most people say the intake takes away power, there a dyno by zack some where where these stats. but the fastest maxima seem to have a pop charger which is stock mid pipe with a cone filter on the end but you need to to build something so your filter doesnt rub on the inside.

i'd understand being lowered could help u if ur going maybe....185 miles per hour (NASCAR speeds) for downforce and such, but y would stock suspension help u lose power? sorry for my newbiness

A stiff suspension will help your 1/4 mile times by keeping as much weight to the front of the car as possible. The stock suspension, you'll see the car rear back on launch, but thats not a good thing. An aftermarket suspension will keep the weight on the front of the car, reducing wheelspin. But as THT, then you get into wheelhop, but there are ways to work around it. Get a VI for sure, ECU depending on which VI you get (00VI is not necessary but nice, MEVI is necessary to feel the gains).

u can't have more power, unless u put either a 3.5 engine or put turbo in it, the Maxima has been optimized by the engineers at Nissan. so putting something like an exhaust or a intake won't do jack. at most it'll give u a little bit of power, maybe like up to 5 maximum HP, thats with everything... but then theres always nitro... lol

He sure will!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All that trouble and it MIGHT have 10 more hp stock. And probably alot less stock torque.
Beastly!

The results are the same tho. Y, ECU, 00VI the basics.

Other Thread: More Torque
GTR, seriously, you need to get a life. All of your questions were answered in the other thread. There was no reason to make another thread.

I am going to thread ***** because this thread is done anyway.
I never understood why people SR20 swap. I thought a 240 means 2.4 liters. Wouldn't an SR20 be 2 liters? Unless the SR20 can take turbo a lot better, I am confused.
