Hi

I am probably gonna be flamed or laughed at for this, but I thought I'd ask the question anyway. Do you think it's possible to get a 600+ HP maxima? I am sure that there are going to be many things that need to be beefed up in the process (tranny, drive shafts etc). I am wondering what the limit is on with a built engine. What do you think?

I am wondering if I should sink money into finding out or buying a musclecar like a Supra (or even a Skyline) and working from there.

oh crap - he got banned again?- doh - btw- anything is possible if you have the benjamins to back it up

The question is do you want a 600hp front wheel drive car? I can't keep the front end from pulling side to side on my stock 190hp Maxima. Seems like a waste of power to this cowboy.


yee haa...

600HP is a little TOO much for FWD..

Dream Nissan Maxima:
4WD, 4WS, VQ35DETT,
2 door
2500 lbs
1200 bhp

How is that possible I just don't see it unless you drop like a supra like engine in there.

ILoveMyMax

very possible, built engine HUGE turbo 15 psi or more. 100-150 shot direct port, DAMN good drag radials but i give the tranny like 15 mins with that kinds power.. i didnt think nissan had 600 hp in mind..

Sure its possible. You are 2/3 of the way there right now on stock everything. Build your engine, build your fuel system, shove another 15lbs of boost in there, and viola' you have a 600hp maxima.

Actually there are quite a few 600 hp hondas and FWD DSMs and some very very powerful sentras and such too... 600 in the maxima should be no problem. You'll need the $$$ to support it though.

find out find out!!!

DTR Maxima

it is very possible, but costs a lot of money, but the from what i see you are willing to put a lot of cash in your maxima (im referrring to the turbo) so i say go for it, it would be quite awesome!!! plus your putting the money into a maxima, how much better of an investment can u get

get a skyline

SamMan23

I've seen 600hp eclipse, so why not maxima. this eclipse was turboed, and used nitrous to spool the turbo. It'd easily take the corvettes.

id love to see my maxima at 600 hp

THURSTY4NOSMAX

Think about it its very possible man.If a 300 zx with a vg30 can easily pull off 600 horses then a vQ30 following the same principles as the 300zx should easily put out that power,but in reality $$$ is the issue here.I rather have a 700 hp maxima than a 1200 skyline,but the skyline is still GONNA BE OUR DADDYS!

rmb

"Beefed up"..... Ya.. just a bit.

The main problem is that after you custom built your transaxle and engine, $30,000+ and countless headaches later you'd still have a front wheel drive four-door sedan. Plus you'd have removed any driveability and reliability.

Anything is possible with enough $$$$, it just doesn't make any sense for the Max...

i actually saw a magazine with a 700hp 92 sentra in japan

what about the problem with the MAF sensor....I thought they could only handle upto 400hp???? I could be very wrong here?

puremax

waste of money

THURSTY4NOSMAX

Just change the maf sensor to another one form a car that will match it.Problem solved!

SleeperSE

- Yeah, theoretically, wouldn't you be getting completely new electronics? You wouldn't need the stock MAF. Switch to a MAP system, or something.
- Ummm, I do think that you'll need a bit more than 15 pounds of boost, though.
- While you're at it, get rid of about 1,000 pounds worth of weight, switch it to RWD, and then call me. I'd be more than happy to test-drive the car!

ya is it possible to change our cars to RWD? what would be involved in that besides $$$

Lime

possibly with a lot of $ into the drivetrain...the motor will need forged pistons and all the goodies, but it will hold up better than the rest....... Also FWD is difficult....

gtr_rider

iTrader: (50)

I think you need a lot of work

VQdriver

has anyone here gotten your turbo kit since you had yours installed? how's the driveability so far?

MaxSpeedSE

iTrader: (3)

I dont get it, why did you even bother to put money into you maxima...if all you want is somthing els like a Skyline? Seems like a waste to me...I say if your going to start somthing finish it... you have a maxima with Turbo...and like no bolt ones.... well get the bolt ons, beef your motor... and stay with the maxima...who cares if its FWD...there are othere types of racing besides drag....

just my 2 cents

Please message me. Email: Mike@Boosted-Maximas.net/AIM: mjcnismo. Thanks..

Uncle Max

I think it's possible it's all about the cash flow. People yea but it FWD.. so are civics. Now will it be street drivable? probably not.
but you'd get a lot of head turning at the track. that's why I wanted to start with Engine Management to make sure tuning didn't hold me back. Just the motor and tranny
I'll be happy with 450 to the wheels
Just got a 92 S13 last Friday.. Next years project after Uncle Max gets done. I'm going all out on that bad boy but this time using Speedpro or Motec.
Uh I speak from experience guys avoid Haltech untill I find all the bugs. It's an outdated system in comparison to others.

Id love to see any maxima at 600hp.
BTW- You could charge people like $5 a ride at maxima meets, and around town. Then you can gain some money back!

Uncle Max

Hehehe yea but you'll spend 10 bucks starting up the motor

Crooklyn

If you do that the tranny would be the first thing you should do.. Like get a Level 10 tranny it can handle up to 600+HP it will cost you around $4500 but if you wanna do that like I am...

Uncle Max

He's a 5spd-str

Miasma

but our tranny turns to glass under any significant HP

Rufus

i did some research and discovered that you can actually drop a skyline gt-r 34 engine straight in to a nissan maxima and it will fit fine! the only problen is the labor costs!

Crooklyn

They do it for both manual and auto...

black019

convert to rwd, then go for it
