hey guys ,how much horsepower does the 2001 ,2002 and 2003 maxima have
2000= 222 i know that one
thanx

 

2001=222 bhp
2002=255 bhp
2003=255 bhp

These are the printed numbers that Nissan says they are. Hopefully, these will help you out.

 

thanx man

 

No prob. Glad to help

 

2000: 222HP@6,400rpms/
217TQ@4,000rpms

2001: 222HP@6,400rpms/227HP@6,400rpms (SE-AE)
217TQ@4,000rps

2002-
2003: 255HP@5,800rpms/
246TQ@4,400rpms

 

As it was said, those are the Nissan 'published' figures. Would you like to know the real numbers for the 2002 and 2003?

 

I dont want to know, all us 02-03 guys know we got screwed!

 

Not in the torque deparment.

 

what are the real numbers then

 

The generally agreed upon numbers are 240hp and 265tq.

And thats from dozens of dynos from stock 2002 & 2003 Maximas and Altimas.

 

what's the dyno # for 2000 and 2002?

 

a consumer lawyer who is investigating claims that maxima's horsepower is lower than as published can be reached at consumerlawyer2003@yahoo.com!

 

Well, I am wondering if it is true what people say that the horsepower on 5th ge. is lss than Nissan says it is. I know a lawyer who is investigating claims that Nissan mistated its horsepower...he can be reached at consumerlawyer2003@hotmail.com. Do you think this holds some water or not?

 

First its the paint chips
Then theres the Hesitation (lack of power)
And now the horsepower?

Nissan, you did good with the early 5 gens (00,01) (besides the paint chips) whats going on?

 

Please observe the previous statements.

Hp is indeed overrated but the torque is underrated by the same margin.

The hesitaion has been fixed as a TSB with a ECU software upgrade.

The paint does suck donkey ***** and thats probably the biggest thign that will bite them in the ***.

 

Then here comes another question.

What kind of dyno's are these knuckleheads @nissan using?

And damn if we had 240 hp, this would mean that the new accord would give us a race. If i was to lose to an accord I would go nuts. (i hate hondas)

 

I don't see '03 sedan AV6's running 14.7's stock like some of the '02+ Max's do (autos only ). They hit 15.0-15.1 so far...

 

i would like to know what is the basis for thinking that the horrsepower on the maximas has been lower than published by maxima, and for what cars/years this is supposed to be true.

 

My bone stock Maxima dynoed 194.1 peak hp and 205.4 torque.
