Any one have and reccomendations for brands ? Also any knowleged if it affcects a warranty or damage the engien?

 

Let me save you the flames. Delete this thread. All are useless. You own a car that has an ECU which cant be tricked...so save your money.....

 

hows that?

 

what kloogy said...

 

Tell you what, just send me the money that you were going to spend on this part. I'll keep it and not send you anything in return and you'll get the same gains hp-wise.

 

I hate to be rude, since you are local. You dont own a Civic, or a Mustang, that have parts on the shelve ready for you to slap on and get 40 hp for an intake !......its a whole different game.....read up a bit more and school yourself. Come to the loacl west coast forums....we can help ya .

 

okay but i got slow brain learning and baaad spelling will take advice Its always fun being new a want to jump into einge, I am a little upset most nissan have same engien but z car has must hp............ Trying to understand. I personal problay know that is because it is litter but i figure it doesnt hurt to ask. Pss i am current try ing to figure out how to Post more of my cars Profile lol but as you can probley gusee i am reading and learnig and some day with figure it out maybe a photo also. :-}

 

Thats ok, take it easy. Just dont buy a chip. They are useless. It would help if you told us what year Maxima you have, we can point you in the right direction as far as what mods you will need to get faster....

 

stillen rear strut bar . stillen rear brace tower stillen air intake. front brace . tokico blue. cattman rear exaust. sounds good just not happy with freway passing speeds.

 

Hate to tell ya, but thats all that puppy will have. Maybe get Cattman b pipe, and consider a good Nitrous wet kit..and some Cattman Headers.....thats about as much as our cars have to give.

 

What do you meen by fooling the ecu? Thats a first......

 

Oops you said"can't" i thought you said can....my bad.

 

The only thing that I know that can fool an ECU is fooling its sensors.
The ecu has temperature sensors and different sensors that read out the heat of the engine which can be fooled. This will just result in the engine going off higher revs like when its cold. Other than that, kloogy is right because I been looking into it. I know someone who had their 4th gen maxima reprogrammed and it did them no good.

A good idea might be the S-AFC by Apexi. The super air flow controller allows you to set the fuel/air ratio. Giving it a lot more fuel makes it go like no tomorrow but kills the engine.

 

can you elaborate a little on "kills the engine"? i mean, shortens the life drastically, ruins the internals? certainly voids my warranty, im sure. can you use a SAFC to a lesser extent, and go easier on the motor?
