just out of curiousity, would the 222hp version of the VQ30DE engine from the '00-'01 Maximas be able to fit into the '95-'99 generation Maximas?

 

i'm not sure exacly, but if the '00-'01 maximas had a vq30de in them, they should bolt right up. i don't know if they had the 3.0 or the 3.5 in them, though. might wanna run a search on it!! search worx wonders!!

 

The major difference and most of the horsepower comes from the variable intake manifold for on the 5th gen. People are selling variable intake manifolds for the 4th gen in the General Forum, if they don't equal the 5th gen's horsepower they will come damn close, and you won't have to swap out an engine.

 

what's the going rate for a variable intake??

I found this when I SEARCHED for "variable intake."

 

kewl! now all i gotta do is get my clutch in, get some new tires, get my fuel pressure regulator, and put my bottle on...

 

Has that project even been completed yet? If so what was the status?

 

I would post the same question on the thread referenced above, as the people ordering the intake will be monitoring that one - or PM/email them directly.

 

Yes I have that on my 1999 maxima its the best cause mine is a 5speed
