uh.....Are you sure about that? What kind of honda are you talking about? I got a 94 accord, 4 cyl. doesn't seem realistic for it to do 13sec with 5k invest, NA.........

CRX B16 plus mods and slicks = low low 14s(2nd low is NOT a typo)
CRX B18C1/B18C5/B18C7 plus mods and slicks = mid-high 13s(not sure about mid, but definitely 13s)

*B18C7 will probably go over 5 grand.

No way a maxima is gonna run a sub 10 second 1/4. NO WAY!!!

Unless you strip it clean, I mean everything except for a seat, engine, trans, frame, wheels.

dude, relistically a twin turbo lingenfelter viper does 10 seconds and costs >150k

Check your numbers again buddy. The lingenfelter viper didn't break the 10s.
Honestly folks, I'm one of the people fueling this thread
I've decided not even to add force induction to my car and any other major mods. The Maxima is just not known for strong aftermarket support.
I'm seriously considering a '95 240SX. Very cheap, tons of aftermarket, RWD, and potential to break the 11s. What more can you ask for?

u wont break 11s on a 95 240. unless u build the motor, or get the redtop SR20DET instead of the more recent blacktop. Using a blacktop SR20DET or turboing the KA24DE will get u at best 12s. On an average weight car u need around 450whp to break 11s. Blacktop SR20DET is good till around 350, redtop will take u around 500, KA24 im not sure how high itll get u, but on standard internals, redtop is ur best bet for the quest for 11s. of course if ur building the block, then all bets are off.

And your response proves my point, there are many options. And yes, I'm talking possibly building an engine. It's very early to say but by year's end I'm going to have a project plan and hopefully a car.

I think the best way to get Maxima into the tens or nines is to put your Maxima title into the glovebox of a moddded Chevy or Ford and enjoy the ride.
This is why I bought the Z28. The Maxima is a very nice 4DSC not a drag car. Good power, 4 doors, refinement, reliability, sporty = Maxima. Great power, speed, did I say great power and speed? = Z28.

I am really thinking of a G35 sedan to replace the Max in the Gs second year (to work out the bugs). I got the Max because it is a very nice sedan that had the FWD to drive in the snow with, now in Vegas....no snow

88 honda crx hf - $1000 (if that)
b16a1/ecu/s1 tranny - $1000
chipped ecu - $75
mounts - $400
dc sport header - $300
axles - $140
shift linkage (custom) - $30
2x 15" rotas with DRs - $500
cheapo intake - $50
gutt the crap out of it - free
ground control coilovers - $300
koni yellow shocks - $550
camshafts (int - CTR; exh - ITR) - $675
Total - $5020
ET - mid-high 13s on Drag Radials
if you remove the camshafts, it's high 13s for under $5K...this is all motor...but a gutted CRX.

It's possible, people have done it.

back on topic, the maxima is NOT a good chassis to work with to go faster than 13s.

Still a 240SX is on the slightly more costly side when it comes to building it or doing swaps. If you want endless modability, if thats a word, get something with a B series motor, you can build one of those motors from scratch using only aftermarket parts if only we had that kind of aftermarket

10 sec maxima....how sweet it would be, but to do this you may as well build yourself a real hot rod.

Step one to a reliable, daily driver, yet possible 10 sec car...American V8 Big block then you may stand a chance, straight pipe, port the heads, RWD, nitrous, intake, and then you are on your way.

Why would you need a big block with nitrous when you could build a 10 second car with a NA smallblock? And for alot less money.

Re: 10 Second 2k2 maxima

Ok everyone, I am sure this is what all of you want and dream off and hope for, a 10 second or less maxima. The big question is how do we achieve this. I think we should put all of our wills and knowledge together and come up with some kind of grand strategy that would enable us to go that fast. so, let's start pull of our ideas together. what kind of modifications can we do to our 2k2 maximas to make it crank out a lot of hp, and i mean a lot! let's try to stick with no juice for now. I will start by saying getting free flow exhaust and intake systems. but that really is just a tiny piece, wont make that much of a difference. so what else can we do to our engine?
Hey PoweredbyNissan, well it's going to be a hell of a project to make this happend, not saying it's not feasable here is my toughs:

1-Completely rebuilt the engine, oversize the cylinder & combustion chamber, replace almost every internal parts, new pistons, ring, piston rods, valve, crankshaft, and replace the 4 cams, new ignition, fuel managment system, custom ECU, fuel pump, of course we would install the usual Y-Pipe, intake, pulleys, every parts that are available, not forgetting port and polish everything that could be pushed a little further.

2-A Complete rebuilt of the tranny.


3-A custom Dual Turbo set-up @ 15 -18psi with an intercooler

4-150 Shots of N20

5-Custom Thrue Dual 3" exhaust

6-Weight reduction program ( whatever that mean )

I think with all this we should be near the 10 seconds, the question is how much it's going to cost and how long would it take to tune the car ?

I would say it will cost between 25G -40G and it would take a year to build that car.

Just a idea of what I dream of...

Cheers

AA

Ok... I my turn: If you want a 10 sec Max be prepared to pay for it. Personally I would build a RWD car (240SX maybe) if you are a Nissan fan. If you want a max, I would suggest a 2nd gen with a 3.5/6 spd swap,lower compression (around 7.5 to 1) twin turbos, HUGE intercooler and open exhaust. Could you make it streetable? Depends on the definition of streetable. To me a car with no interior,lexan windows and a seat is not streetable. Just an example of what a 10 FWD sec car looks like and the work involved to get it to that level, click the below link:

http://www.thedodgegarage.com/the_reliant.html

I have watched this car on the track several times. Can you say big diet? He is running an AUTOMATIC tranny (which most drag cars run, stock cast crank, stock connecting rods, forged pistons and stock head with porting. There is a very limited pool of resources for turbo Chrysler but we can accomplish quite alot with creativity and BOOST!

Let the booing begin for me!

7. COILOVER SUSPENSION (lower the front raise the back to put more on the front tires)
8. clear out trunk to the sheet metal
9. Under drive pulleys and eliminate toher pulleys such as alternator, power steerring, etc..
10. Run electric cooling pump to replace stock cooling pump


All that, and maybe you might get high 12's with no NOS or turbo/super

ED
you forgot removal of doors , hood ,trunk ,bumpers seats,spare tire,ac system pwr steering system,moonroof glass,gas tank, (install smaller one),exhauast system, dash board trim panel,all emisions,all , lights, add 250 shot of nos!!!!!!!!!get the weight down to 2000 lbs. and the horse power to 456 and you'll have a 1\4 trap speed of 135mph.......hello 10's!

Start by shoe horning a viper engine under the hood, switch to awd, add a supercharger and boom...You got your self a nice shinny ****.



But other than that, massive internels, 20 or more psi...and about 80 g's to the engine should do it.

Hmmm, I wouldn't worry too much about the Maxima 3.5L engine. It's got beefy rods and pistons. The block is rock solid. A 3.5L will have no problem spooling a T66 turbo($1500)which should get a solid 3.5L like the Maxima in the 600hp range. The T66 turbo is considered the maximum size for a street turbo on a single 3.0L.

On the otherhand, the drivetrain may not hold up, definately not the auto tranny. The ZF 6-speed might be able to handle it but a new clutch is definately needed (1000$), mine slips a little with stock power.

720cc injectors(700$) as well as a Standalone(2000$) are needed. Fuel lines(200$) and pump(300$)are needed to be upgraded all the way from the engine to the tank. Headers(2000$) need to be built merging where the turbo is and then from there--> a free-flow exhaust(1000$) minimum 3" all the way to the back. Compression ratio needs to be lowered to 9.0:1 or lower. (gasket w/labour 500$)

If high boost is used(5+psi's) an intercooler would be needed, side mounts(500$) should be good to 10psi's and front-mounts(1500) to 15psi's. Anything over that and your best off with high-octane gas(97+). I really don't where the hell you'll fit the piping. The turbo and manifold will fit but the FMIC will need lot of creativity.

Problems, the Big turbo Maxima will spin its tires all the way to 4th gear(inclusive) with the ZF on the street. Minimum 245mm(1000$ all 4) and mags(17x8.5JJ @1000$, no choice) are to be used as well as low boost for the street or the car will never get its power to the ground. I spin my wheels all the way through 2nd gear now... STOCK 6-speed!

Anyways guys, just my 2 cents. This would be an extremely cool project. The turbo max would have enough power to crush an M5 or 911 and would be able to best a 911 turbo on the highway... if it is of course running HIGH BOOST! That would be soooooo cool!!! Not cool for the 911 driver though______x_<---911 TurboMax------->________X_

Don't forget all the miscellaneous expenses + air filter(200$) and gauges(300$). Labour will be over 3000$ at the very least. I would still do it though... Turbo Man at heart like all of you!!!!

The replies in this post are crazier than the post itself.
Wussup with all the comparos to the skyline and supra? Come on people, this is when you do research before even bringing it up. Even to be funny. It should be a major embarrassment to even mention that.
"What does the skyline have that the maxima doesn't? 2 turbos or 2.5L?" I didn't read all 13 pages, you have to have an iq of 20 just to do that, but reading the above questions and answers to it, just put me at that level. 2 funny.
I reached the end of the internet. I am SURE, it stops here. Can't get worst than this guys. The above line is just toooooo funny. If you even look at the cars, you can understand the concept and the capabilities.
You've made my day, thank you!!!
