"BORE"out a maxima engine? Possible??
i was talking to a few guys with muscle cars an they had mentioned that if you Bore out an engine it would add a good amount of HP. Than i was wondering if we can do this to our maximas. Is it possible? Would it be beneficial? I dont know much about it so any opinions would be great
Thanx

sure, anything is possible.
bore it out and you'll have to deal with custom pistons and other custom goodies to go along with your new cylinder sizes. Then you'll have to deal with fuel issues, timing, etc with the ECU

Increasing displacement is beneficial performance wise. But you can also turbocharge the engine to get the same type effect. And generally speaking it costs A LOT less.
Like someone else mentioned. As soon as you go boring things you then have the need for custom parts. A lot of the older style hot rods/ muscle cars didn't have to worry about computers either. You could punch (bore) a 350 out to a 390 by simply adding new parts, and some machine work. For modern day cars you could do the same. But you won't be going anywhere without a completely remapped ECU/Stand alone.
Boost is better

There are many other more beneficial things you can do besides trying to bore out a VQ30DE. Plus 1.0mm is only going to get you to 3052cc (+64cc). Hardly worth the effort and $1000+ expense for a few hp.
