I'm looking for another go fast part and i dont exactly have a large bank account. I already have a place racing cai, wsp ypipe and catback, custom enterpirse highflow cat. I thought about oovi, but i dont have 500 bucks to throw out, and another 500 for the chip..prolly not gunna happen. I was wondering if there was something else out there that can get me going a bit faster. thanx

I hate these types of threads.

If you don't have the money, don't ask.

 

You don't need ECU to take the advantages of 00VI. Just do it without the ECU and you will still feel the power. Just not nearly as much.

The reason I kinda went against 00VI is because it becomes pointless if you ever go 3.5 since the ports do not match. But then again if you use PathFinder heads they will. No one has tried it yet to my knowledge.

 

Get a Tornado or an electric supercharger!

 

He does't have the money for either ... much less both...

 

Udp.........

 

NOT..........

 

yeah its the mevi you need to "make up for loss" or so i've read.
apparently the 00VI is fine by itself. more than fine. OR SO I'VE READ.
and uh...i know what you mean. i think i'm about to drop 500 on either an ECU or manifold. probably ECU since it seems to be an easier install plus less hassle when i want to do a 3.5.....correct?
eager to whoop some more ***.

 

There is nothing else you can do.

 

If you want more power for cheap, get a simple N2O kit.

 

aren't most n2o kits about 350-500$ almost in his range of " i dont have money"


If you dont have money, i suggest you save up for some maintaince stuff before you go moding again.

 

since you cant do many go mods for the price you can spend I suggest focusing on handling. Get a RSB and when time comes some sticky tires.

 

That would be the best solution for him with the amount of cash he has.

 

Not too sure on how well that ecu will work with the 3.5

Unless your manual, the 3.5 isnt a huge power adder. yes its faster then the auto 3.0, but a modded manual 3.0 will pull an auto 3.5 I speak from experience

 

That wont happen in a properly tuned auto 3.5L.. or my 3.5L Auto

 

get a used n2o solenoid, get a bottle run the lines straigh after the MAF, gets some wires relays and you got a cheap n20 kit

 

Do some maintenance work, which will increase performance also, for little money. check/change: 02 sensors, knock sensor, spark plugs, fuel filter, PCV, Auto-RX?, synthetic oil?

 

you could also get a grounding kit that will help your car run a little better

 

send a pm to the the home depot mod king int he 5th gen forums..he can probably think of something if hes not busy of course... irish44j

 

True, the 3.5 wasnt tuned.
With tunning it would be a better race, but my 5 speed with the 7k redline doesnt do to bad.

 

only go-fast mod on our cars is boost.

 

Dude.....what? The 3.5 isn't a big power adder? I thought it was good for like a 40 horsepower difference. Either way, I don't have the money or know how for it right now.
Can anyone tell me what an upgraded ecu would do for my auto? I'm conncerned that ill buy one and won't feel the gain so much.

 

youll feel it, its like another ypipe.... but if your autp youll definately feel the top end, and the car wont feel as sluggish

 

My 4AT 3.5L with 7k redline wouldn't either ...

 

I didnt mean it as if it wasnt worth it, if I had the cash Id definately do the swap.
I was just implying that if your auto dont expect insane HP gains with just the swap. The tunning is a must. The 3.5 is an awesome platform to work from, but its not a cheap mod by any means.
The cheapest big power adder is going to be the nitrous setup.

If you get the ECU, you wont regret it. You just need to make a choice if you plan on staying NA or not,.. that is if you dont mind the wait time to send it back in later down the road.

 

A new ECU???? you mean like a jet chip or what ever?

 

No JET chip... JWT or TC.

 

where do you get info on that??

 

Information is everywhere. Here is an older thread about it. http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....hlight=jet+ecu

 

i appreciate the info i thought the swap wasnt too bad. like 1500?
and waht do you mean by tuning?
im pretty sure i want to stay NA. im not really that interested in nitrous right now.

 

If you are serious about performance, your first thing on the to do list is to open up a savings account. Put whatever money you have in there and start saving. During the meantime start researching supercharging and turbocharging. Instead of spending 500 dollars on some 20hp part, save that money. You know you will end up coming back after you get the new mod and ask us what to add next. It looks like you already have some of the beneifical parts already like a free flowing exhaust. Find a nice kit, used if you wish, get a reputable place to install and tune it, run 9psi or less and enjoy the NOTICEABLE power gains.

Truth of the matter, leaving your car stock or near stock is the smartest option in the end, trust me, lol.

Did people actually mention Nitrous? On a street setup? Im not even going to bother with this one. Cons FAR outweight the pros.

 

I'm spending about 500 on my ecu, I think it'll be worth it...I want to stay n/a so that outrules your way of doing things.
And I can Not stay stock. Heh.
Superchargers/turbos are expansive!

 

They're also expensive.

 

Two word... Speed Holes.

Let me know, I've got a pick-axe.

 

The Homer Simpson Go Fast Mod!

 

Really? What sort of cons would those be?

 

Yeah, I'd like to know too.

Maybe he means how it's sO mAd TytE tHaT It'LL BlOW your EnGiNe

 

a big a$$ fine for starts

 

Well I can imagine his "con" is engine abuse. Oh well. That is why you go F&F style and race for a wad of 1 dollar bills in the desert to pay for the new engine after 20 races.... JK!
