Bryan/(h2kFrosty)'s 2001 GXE 500+whp Project
I will be very happy when frosty gets his car back. His old setup really needed to be redone. I have my own ideas about what I may be able to do and if the work is as good as I have seen then Travis may have more business from the Baton Rouge area. I am sure the Maxima.org community would also appreciate some quality turbo kits and high performance parts.

It's not turboed anymore but it is now my daily driver. As far as my turboed 5th gen goes, it's going to be set up for the track mainly. My goal is to run the fastest 1/4 mile time ever in a Maxima, because 5th gen's deserve to be in the 11's... Tired of all the credit going to the 4th gen guys. 
But that's not the only reason I'm doing this... I'm also doing this because my kit was falling apart and needed to be replaced, and what better time to upgrade than now? This is just the next step for my car. Also I will be purchasing some rather large slicks to accompany my car to the track, so mdloops... I hope you bite your tongue when you see me running insansely low 60's and owning rwd v8's at the track... I'll be sure to personally PM you the link when I post some videos of it.

Keep the stock 5th gen ECU(use eManage and J&S) and if you make a clean header setup like SpeedForceRacing did on the VQ35 Altima but with a Garrett GT35R....let me know how much.
Sounds like a sick project...good luck!

If we were all sensible with our money, we'd buy stocks or term deposits or something. Modding your car is about having fun, not making sense!
I'm eager to hear how you deal with the tranny. Are you going to cryo the gears or what?

I would love to have the money to be able to mod my car like most of the cars on this forum. Good luck on the project and keep us all updated! Sean
Hey Sean, thing will come handy, your maybe only 17 but you got an entire life in front of you and you already have the max, so it's not bad at all. I personaly bought my first max at 37 years old I'm now 43 and still have the heart of a 17 year old in term of passion to mod my car, the main difference is I have 25 years of hards works behind me that why I can afford the few thousand $$$ I throw in the max every year, if that can serve you, at 17 I was driving a 1975 civic Honda, that car was a real POS.

And this one time...at band camp...I met a guy...named Hal.
He "only" ran a 11.98, Mardi is still the 1/4mile king with an 11.91sec. ET, but Hal trapped higher so it depends on your definition of "worlds fastest".

The result will be interesting, and I am not tryign to hate. Anybody who knows anything about drag racing will laugh at the though of a FWD drag car and that is what it will be. Go talk to some of the guys who have been doing it for years and see how long you can make them laugh.
I would clean up the turbo setup and spend the time and money to have it very well tuned. I would not go for all that power because it already has enough. Do some suspension work, engine mounts, etc. Make it somewhat reliable too.

This project really dead ? WTF is going on ? I asked for some feed pipes and manifolds for my own turbo project but it looks like SSR will be getting my $$$. 500WHP does NASTY things to 500WHP RWD cars on the highway.

I'm thinkin it's understeer-city if he gets in the twisties with that kind of FWHP unless there's a ton of bricks in the trunk!

And, how much $$$$ do you have to put into a Max to be able to run 500HP without blowin up the drivetrain?

Dude, calm your mullet and take a back seat, you just got here and you got no idea what your talking about.
1st of all having owned a 547WHP Sentra before I know its not the eassiest thing in the world to keep contained on the street, but show me a Viper GTS on the highway from a 90MPH roll on and I will pull bus lenghts on him to 175MPH. Once you are up to speed its not that bad controlling wheel spin as you can modulate the gas pedal. Its not the eassiest thing in the world to do off the line but you can do it after some time. Another thing is Maxima drive train will handle 500WHP just fine, engine, tranny, axles, ALL handle 500WHP just fine. All you need is a well built turbo kit on a tunned engine and everything will be good even at 600WHP. Hals car wasn't tuned good for **** and it still made 500WHP almost, it still used ALOT of stock stuff on it.
Understeer ? whats that ? I don't understeer in my Maxima, if you have a properly suspended Maxima it will actually handle neutrally or oversteer when needed.
Horsepower has nothing to do with understeer, please explain to me why 50HP Geo Metros would understeer ? Is it due to their sheeer power of the 1.0L 3 banger thats trying to push Golf kart sized tires ? I autoX, and road race- and personally I don't take advice from people who drive F-bodies about handling. Seeing how they handle as well as a baptist church bus on a Sunday morning drive to mass.
