Hypothetical HP...

current 5th Gen Maxiama with the following hypothetical additions..

Supercharger 6-8psi
Intercooler
headers
highflow cat
complete exhaust package
My guess is 400hp.
Any guessers out there?

Thanks.

2k2+ you cannot buy a supercharger package for. you have to custom build one i believe.

Err. Why not? Not developed yet?
Any way, what if there was one? Hypothetical HP.

id tell you to search but you cant. i doubt you would get 400 with a supercharger. try changing it to a turbo and then its feasible.

Talk to me, do we have an applied turbo system yet? Please don't tell me this is a custom adventure.

as of right now there is no super/turbo for 2k2+. now building a custom one is a different story.

Oh well I guess the sky is the limit. Reason being I have sweet line on a 2003 5spd SE, except I want 400HP in my next car. All these Turbo maximas have sparked my interest. Product line is solid, so why not use is to go custom I guess. Cartech "corkey Bell" is local so I could heoler at him.

you could get 400 HP easy with a turbo. why did you pick 400 HP as your goal? i ask because thats exactly what i told myself last year...not sure why i picked 400 though. back then i was thinking 400 HP at the crank but now its looking like 400 HP the wheels isnt that far-fetched for a turbo 2k2/2k3.

I'm feeling you. I was thinking out loaud this afterneeon. I said I like the MAXIMA enough, better than the 6th GEN anyway. I really want RWD, but compareable import RWD is much higher $. Then I said look at all the support sytem for the MAXIMA. It's a win win situation. I could drive my 91 while i did all this. I figured $7000 to $8000 later I might just have me an M5 power compareable affordable sedan.

the 2003 is a 6 speed unless it has a 5 speed conversion which would be odd.

Why don't you wait for somebody to get tired of their 350z 6spd and then pickup one of those used and TT that sucker. I think there are already some turbo kits in development for it, and it has RWD so it would handle the power MUCH better than FWD.

Power is nothing without control.

True. Still like the passenger aspect. And the limited aspect. How many people do we know that really have a 400 MAXIMA. Thanks.

At the crank with 8 maybe...sure. How about a better idea, do it and shut up.

MardigrasMAx - 400whp with supercharger and he has a 4th gen. check out my boosted maxima list in my sig

you cannot get over 400whp with just 6 - 8 psi. even boost with juice, maybe it will get you over 300whp.

my case, automatic 273whp with 10psi. stillen y, untuned, no 2.5" cat back. It will get me over 300whp if I tuned it and add cat-back. but 400 is still too far.


the varible cam of 2k2+ is on the timing chain case blocks the SC.

FYI : saw a NA 350z 6spd with injen intake got dynoed before I did. hit 230whp. pretty good number to start with.

I sense your frustration. You are right, to many people talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk. Absolutely not enough go get em' folks in this world. After all, who needs plans.
I'll make a deal for you;
if you spread some joy and lay down that evil spirit of opressed anger, I'll talk less and do more. After all a doer of the WORD is better than a hearer only. Yuo see everything reproduces after it's own kind, so I'll talk less, and you practice patience with us boost ignorant folks. Deal? God bless you and all yours.

Here ye go. http://www.hlh0501.com/
Talk to him and see what u can work out, he mihgt be able to work his magic on a 3.5 motor as well. He's done several turbo kits for members on this board and no1 seems to have any problems. Good Luck, maybe ull be the 1st 3.5 runnin on boost.

@ 6 psi, hypothetically speaking, maybe 270-290 whp.

Mardi puts down an impressive 390 whp on boost alone (14 psi)!

Has anyone seen the pic on Stillen's website of the 350z SC kit? Looks like they're using the Roots (spelling) type supercharger and it sit's on top of where the intake manifold used to go. So since the 3.5 engines are all similar, would stillen eventually make a kit for the 3.5 Maximas and Altimas? Interesting, would need a new hood with a bulge on it or a cutout...

Yeah I made a post on this a few weeks ago, but that SC wont even fit under the hood of the 350, but if it was to be rigged to the Max that would have to be a wiiiide bulge in the hood for it to fit.

The problem is the 350 is rear drive the max is front drive....the engine goes in opistite directions...ie the 350 is longitudanal, and the max is transverese...boy i messed those speelings up

I know that. That's why the Stillen 350 hood has a bulge in it and for the max there would have to be a "transverse" or rather a wide bulge becaue our engines are transversely mounted instead of logitudinally. Either way it would bulge up. Would it work yes, would it look good, don't know.

Well when some1 here photoshopped a pic or f Emax's ride with a stang like hood cowl it didnt looks too bad. Kinda overkill IMO but not bad.

I think there are 2 major hurdles for the 3.5 (it is definitely possible though)
- y-pipe piping
- returnless fuel line (nitrous people have worked around this)

The dyno graph will not look like a 2k-2k1 dyno graph because of the 2k2's inability to breathe well up top. If you guys can fix that...

Find larger injectors and an adjustable timing retard unit...

The 3.5 will put out some serious numbers if these points are met... oh yeah, the car needs to be tuned too.

Oh I did not know about the returneless fuel line. I Despise to mention it, but the 2002+ stangs have come out with a way to add boost on their returnless fuel line factory setups. I'll hav eto look into that. I would so think it great to have a 400 HP@fly MAXIMA. That would be so fun and strange to the mass auto world.
