Get the benefits of a BBMAF without the need to tune!!

Like a popcharger, but better. This kit includes a fully direct replacement intake system. This is a modified stock-style system which improves on the stock design, which as most maxima owners would agree, is the best system for daily driving. This setup gives the performance of an aftermarket intake, a moderately aggressive intake sound (closer to a g35 or 350z) instead of just being loud, but this all depends on your modifications. As of right now, I only have one system available. It includes a modified stock MAF housing and adapter plate that has been shown to GREATLY improve airflow on a STOCK TUNE! This is my former setup, so you know it's serious. This setup is designed to bump power across the entire powerband, instead of at peak hp like most systems. This is proven to work on a stock tune for a 5.5 gen only, but any 5th gen owner brave enough to try it, I would recommend an a/f tuning device.


Includes OEM scoop.

The stock airbox has been modified to act as a heat shield for the intake system. This is how it looks with the 30* elbow, which works great too, but personally I prefer it as a short ram setup, (with the cone attached to the MAF adapter piece). As pictured, the setup will require battery relocation, but without the 30* elbow it fits snug behind the battery, with the oem snorkel feeding fresh air into the filter. This includes a K&N filter, which is an "extreme top" filter, which is in great shape but could use a clean and re-oil, but is perfectly functional the way it is.

There is alot of explaining in this so far, but nobody has ever seen this so I need to explain a few things. This setup is one-of-a-kind, looks great sitting in the engine bay (like a performance stock intake system), and WILL PUT INJEN OR ANY POP CHARGER TO SLEEP! Satisfaction is guaranteed!

$220 + shipping

Note: The perfect install will require the use of your own air box bracket, associated hardware, and mounting tabs for the oem scoop. Other than these few small things, everything is already prepped for install!

 

Well props for looks cause I personally like it, but I'd like to know the real specs. You say you've managed to shave 0.3 secs off your 0-60 time. Any proof of this? Dyno run?

 

I have taken controlled experiment videos to determine the effect of this intake setup. There is no reason to list these because they will just be disputed. However, this can be proved mathematically. I increased the cross-sectional area of the inlet to the MAF housing by exactly 28%. Then I made an adapter plate of 3.5"OD/3.25"ID, and put the best conical intake on, 3.5" X-stream top k&n ($70 alone). I am disinclined to divulge the rest my secrets for your curiosity as I plan on making more kits. The system makes more power than any other intake out there and single-handedly will be the best and most profitable increase in hp and tq.

If I had the dyno to prove these gains it would cost more, so whoever buys this is getting a great deal. Why I have been unable to dyno this is because when I went to the dyno shop the guy wouldn't let me change intake systems with my car still on the machine and he wanted to charge me for 2 sessions ($300). Screw that. I'm not looking to sell more than a few setups (if that), and that would basically destroy any profit margin.

I'm not trying to convince the world how much power this thing will make, however I will explain it further. This setup allows 130% more air than stock into the intake system, and still does not come near maxing out the stock vq35de fuel injectors. This air is then metered by the maf sensor at its stock diameter inside the housing. Along with this more massive amount of air, the timing of the engine is indirectly advanced by the a/f ratio being leaned out. The inlet of the intake brings a 30% larger mass of air into the system while the stock MAF sensor setup is able to meter the air properly. So, this setup gives you the benefit of a BBMAF without the need to tune. This setup works even better with a 2* timing advance!

 

Here we go again.
You claim any other intake will make 0-60 slower, are you forgetting about a true 3.5" intake, did you even test one before making such claims? I could just show you the math on how the larger bore maf is better than stock, and that would be all the info you need, right? How can you prove that it bumps power across the the entire powerband without any dynos? You claim a 20hp increase but provide no data and then state that you're not trying to convince anyone how much power it makes.

I wouldn't mind if you just said that it improved your 0-60 by x seconds, but even then those numbers can be fudged. If you want us to believe you, track times or dyno at the least.

 

Dude, wtf are you doing. If you are not interested in what I'm selling, move along. Do the right thing and edit your post down. Obviously, the 20 hp claim was an estimate without a dyno comparison.

All the information I have chosen to give is already listed. If I wanted people making knockoffs I would just create a thread about it in the 5th gen discussion.

 

So are you setting up a business to sell here?...contact admins, and back your claims up better.

If this is just a one-off then fine.

 

Why do people always have to **** on other people's parade? Trolls. This is what drives users away from the org. If you're not buying, don't bump the thread up only to talk smack.

 

I wonder what the modified stock maf housing is all about...looks like a larger sensor hole

 

........

 

he's not ****ting on anything. schmelly is just pointing out there are claims being made with no back up. you should really search his 00vi/3.5" intake/altima header build threads and maybe you'll learn he's not trolling but just informing.

also can someone tell me how a bigger maf adapter will perform the same as a tuned larger maf? cause all i see is a big pipe trying to get air through the same size maf. to me this is like getting a y pipe (2.5" outlet) going to stock 2" cat and cat back and then after market muffler

 

You should "invest" in dyno comparisons, only way to prove your idea. What mods do you have on your car?

 

That 20hp claim and the claim that all other intakes make the 5.5 gen's 0-60 time with no proof is what ****s newbies into buying a product. If I were a newbie and were to come onto the official Maxima site looking to spend some money for performance, and I read a sentence from what seems to be a trusted, long-time member of this forum, it'd draw me into believing it. Regardless if proof was provided or not.

This is why he was called out on it. All these allegations with no proof misinforms readers.

 

Hey ppl go easy on the guy I can personally vouch cause I was a test subject. I had a sri intake before. Which was ok but lacked low end like he said so I put his 3.5 intake on huge power gain on the low end below 3k I love it so far I would recommend the idle air volume relearn after the bigger intake is installed but all in all totally worth the money and time this guy has invested in this whole setup. All in all its just a beefed up cold air intake. And way better than an injen and look how much they are....

 

I think its a cool idea. A dyno session is like $85. Do a Before and After.

Honestly, nobody gives two ****s about butt dyno. 3/10 of a second 0-60 time is within the margin of error, there is alot that could have caused that to happen, again, DYNO.

Nobody is trying to **** on your thread. It looks like a cool idea but without testing, how do you even know that it works as well as you say it does? And if you dont know, why should we believe you? How do you even measure 20HP without putting it on a Dyno?

Id be the first one to pony up the cash if this Intake really adds 20HP (over stock). But I would never shell out $220 on a wing and a prayer.

 

hey , i see it as something different and new. These cars have a poor modding platform so its always nice to see someone trying new things and coming up with innovative ideas. Good luck kid

 

 

lol cmon rod!

 

Ohh my... this is why anyone with a good idea doesn't bring it to the attention to anyone here. Everybody gets butthurt and has to **** on anything different. The concept is simple, so for all the ******** here's a spoonfeed. It's a ****ing theory. Power gains are estimates.

Let's say a stock vq 3.5 is capable of pulling in X amount of air and adds Y fuel to the mixture. Now the amount of X pulled into the engine is determined by the mass of air and the speed it travels, which is metered by the MAF sensor. A BBMAF (big bore maf housing) i.e. 3.5" LRMAF will pull in a larger amount of air, but at a slower velocity. With a larger inlet, the modified 2.87" stock MAF housing of a 5.5 gen vq35 will have the ability to pull in a 30% larger mass of air (compared to stock), but retain the velocity it would have at the stock diameter. So you are getting the benefits of a BBMAF housing, without any of the drawbacks.

At wide open throttle, the ecu sends fuel into an open loop, basically dumping max fuel from the injectors (in every vq35 on stock tune). Now what this system does is add a larger mass of air at the same velocity as the stock system which increases the amount of air traveling into the engine greatly. The effect of this very large increase in air, for example at WOT, is that it safely advances the timing of the engine indirectly, which creates a power gain much greater than a typical "performance" intake (i.e. short-ram, cold-air). I had to do some serious modifications to my engine to grow out of the stock injectors. On a stock to moderately modified maxima, this system will perform absolutely great. Any other breather modification (intake/exhaust) will only benefit more from this system.

This system enhances the entire broad power range of the vq35 engine, and targets the optimal characteristics of the engine. I'm not saying it makes more power than a BBMAF, and do not care if it does or not. This system uses the factory sensors in their proper functioning position, just more optimally. The reason you do not need a tuning device for my system, compared to a BBMAF, is because my system retains the MAF sensor position, while the BBMAF greatly changes this by over .5" and has been only proven to increase 10-15hp/tq iirc.

This system is 100% GUARANTEED or your money back. If you are not completely satisified, the only thing you will have to pay for is return shipping and I will gladly refund your money no questions asked.

 

Here is the short-ram setup, ready to be shipped out

 

Sorry but, no dyno no care

 

We're not raggin on him for makin something new and oem like... that's the best kind of mods and I do appreciate it. I made my own short ram BUT I don't pull numbers out of thin air.

Ray makes/made short ram intakes with velocity stacks but he didnt claim random numbers.

That's my only issue. Already made my point, carry on

GLWS

 

Don't get all butt-hurt. You have -0- evidence. No timeslips, no dyno...only your estimates.
Oh and maybe you should re-word your original post if you say it's just a 'theory' :

^^ That's good!! lol ^^

 

 

This is not a discussion. There is no dyno, get over it. I explained how the system works and if you're not convinced that it is the best and most efficient intake system available and is priced less than an injen system, then don't buy it. Quit jacking my FOR SALE thread with all your trolling. Once again, this is not 5th gen discussion, so keep your mother ****ing opinions to yourself. If you're not interested in what I'm selling, move along it's that simple.

 

for real man? You expect any type of respect of business with a attitude such as this? If you had the best product in the world I wouldn't buy it from you just cause how you talk to people. Treat people. And basically your whole attitude sucks. Just my .02

 

Bump. Glws

 

How could anybody be convinced... I am at a loss as to how you have convinced yourself.


Word. You need to adjust your attitude. Why are you getting angry and using foul language on an internet forum?

You presented things as fact, and then when the community called your bluff, you got angry. There are about a million eBay sellers claiming 20HP gains with electric superchargers, also with no evidence, and that is why nobody buys them.

Nobody is trying to take a dump on your parade here, its obviously a cool idea that alot of work and thought went in to. But without evidence of any gains... thats about all it is.

glws!

 

Thank you fishtale and thank you toxic.

I didn't mean to get an attitude with anyone, but this is a for sale thread, not a discussion thread. If you have a question about the product, I'd be more than happy to answer the question. It seemed like the only thing being said was talking about a dyno and that I was trying to trick people into buying this. Obviously the 20hp claim was an estimate with no dyno. I'm not going to go spend a few hundred dollars on a dyno when I only have one of these setups to sell. I only said it was "proven to work for 5.5 gen" because that is all it has been tested on to work with the stock ecu and a/f settings. A 5th gen might have some really good luck with this as well, but to be on the safe side I'd prefer if the purchaser had an a/f controller to tweak the settings.

If anyone read fishtale's review, you would notice that his review was very positive. He has my MAF adapter and a nice 3.5" short ram setup. He said And that was coupled with a few bolt ons, of which I remember gutted cats being one of them.

This setup works wonders coupled with the NWP spacer kit, and really opens up the entire power band.

The area of power increase will be specific to the modifications you have on your maxima.

Here is Sheepdog1775's setup on a bone stock max at the time of install, which came out looking great:

 

Edit

 

I had my stock intake when I bought the pipe from Jeff so I got a pretty good deal. After I installed it I did notice some power gain, smoother throttle, and a nice low growl. I don't have any dynos or track time but it differently helped my throttle response and got me a couple MPG. Overall, I like the intake and it fit what I was looking for.

 

The issue here is not whether it makes power, its your outrageous claims about the amount of power it is making with no data to back it up.

Anyways now that most of it seems to be cleared up, good luck with the sale.

 

Any dyno results from this yet?

 

I'm considering a budget dyno session with no afr, which would basically be irrelevant because I have upgraded my fuel system including pump and injectors.. so most people wouldn't see that same afr anyway. If I can convince a shop to let me swap setups while my car is on the dyno I'll go for it. My car is running good on no tune, but I know there is still some power to be had with a wideband. I've bumped up to 350z injectors and walbro 255.

I'm gonna check two shops out on monday, as far as I know there are only three shops on Long Island and I know the one won't do it in one session and two sessions would cost me $300 and that's too much.

If I could get a dyno, even though I'm not near stock, will this convince people of how much power difference a regular pop charger intake vs. my custom intake will make?

 

its not necessary if you change the claims in ur original post. it'll still sell but if you really wanna do it then find a friendlier shop, save your money and do a before nd after. if you have real data then then it will def help sell it even better but its not necessary.

 

20 hp is crap, no intake has gained our cars that much just from an intake setup.. Not trying to hate man but get your information correct with proof before you go around splurging random numbers. This is the second post I've seen that you've come up with insignificant quotes.

 

This seems like an awesome idea, but if you put a cone filter in a place that is that tight, won't that slow the airflow?

 

What Im Back.....
