Anybody in the forum has ever installed the HKS twin power or something similiar on his 2000 Maxima SE. Is there any installation diagram available on the net that I can download or is there any step by step instructions or write up available. Can someone help me on the installations, please. Thanks a big time.

 

what is this hks twin power thing? can you explain?

 

It is something similiar to the MSD 6A, like a ignition amplifier.
Here is the link from stillen.com
http://www.stillen.com/Sportscars_de...d=48171&page=1
Need to find out how to install it, cuz I didn't get it from Stillen.
Thanks

 

Not sure how it goes in, but its not worth putting in unless you're running high power apps (nitrous, supercharger, turbo). Throwing on bolt ons doesn't constitute high power apps.

 

i have the instuctions, i will explain tomorrow after work, remind me by sending me an email, ok.

 

Unless you got the box for free, you just threw out 300-400 bux away on a worthless mod for your car. It will do NOTHING for a NA car, even supercharged in the 400WHP territory is still fine on the stock ignition.

 

Actually it was $645 according to that link...

 

I agree. If you can still return it, I would. There are better things to spend the $ on. ie.. maybe the Stillen ign controller. I forget the name.

 

Put it in the trunk, it will give the same gains as actually installing it.

 

I was thinking about putting a supercharger into my car, but it has an auto tranny in it. I have all the exhaust parts other then the headers. I also have stillen grounding kit, jimwolf cams with port & polish cylinder heads, injen cold air intake with blitz filter, tein ss coilovers with edfc and all the sway bar struct bar available on the market. I am looking for something else to increase my powers. You know that my car has an auto tranny, so I don't want force inductions. I also do not believe the HKS twin power will give me much hps, but I cannot find anything else to increase my hps. Unless somebody can find me a good turned ecu/chips. Do not tell me jet chips because they do not have settings for Maxima with port & polish head and cams. I am still waiting for helps from Sleeper, but if you guys have any ideas about headers and ecus for my 2000 Maxima, it will be very appreciated.
Thanks

 

do you have pics of all this stuff? I'd like to see it.

I'd go with a valve body upgrade.

BTW. I bet JET would tell you they have a "setting" for all the stuff. Considering they just put a sticker on your stock ecu and sent it back!

 

There was this scientist named David Bruce Banner. One day after a accidental dose of gamma radiation altered his body chemistry. He would turn into a big mean angry creature known as the HULK!!!! You could look into this. I believe this to be possible

 

Me too... because if its all true, ya must have one of more heavily modded cars on here... although I'm surprised that with all the knowledge that went into installing that stuff, ya still went and got the Twin Power...

 

does any other 5th gen, 3.0 or 3.5 have port and polish?

Closes i got to getting that was in GT4.

 

Umm...no you don't, unless you have a stage II LTB........

as to the HKS twin power, put it back in the box and return it. You will get no gains at all from it with your current engine setup....

 

I really don't get any ideas about what you guys are thinking. What's so hard about getting all these parts for a 2000 Maxima?? Intake, exhaust, cams, tein coilovers, tein edfc, swaybars and struct bars those parts are just simple bolt on for almost every import cars on the market. Why you guys want to see pics?? You can find them with pics on stillen, tein, injen, and H&R's web pages. Only the Twin Power does not have wiring harness kit for Maxima and needs hot wiring. That's why I am asking for helps here. Why you guys do not believe me and want pics from me?? All the parts were installed on my cars already except the twin power. The parts for Maxima is already scarce, but some of you guys' knowledge about aftermarket parts seem even worse.
From the title of the thread, I think that I stated clear enough for needing help on installing HKS twin power. But some of you guys started to drag my topic away toward criticise or suspect what I have on my cars. Some member even talk about some science fiction in the thread. I think the forum has one of the rules for keeping the post on topic. Maybe the moderator should pay a little attention on those members here. Once again, I am just looking helps for installing HKS twin power here. That's why I joined the forum. I am not here to argue what I have on my car and how fast my car can go. Thanks for any helpful input.

 

Front struct bar from stillen. http://stillen.com/Sportscars_detail...id=2116&page=1
Rear struct bar from stillen. http://stillen.com/Sportscars_detail...id=2130&page=1
Rear sway bar from stillen. http://stillen.com/Sportscars_detail...id=1934&page=1

 

not that people "DON'T" believe you necessarily. But we are all maxima enthusiasts here and like to see other peoples' maximas. You could have avoided any talk about all your "other" mods if you hadn't put a long-a@@ list of them (bragging at all?) out there.....

I personally will believe you about EVERYTHING if you tell me what Brand of LTB you have, since you said you have "every strut/sway bar out there"......

As to threatening about moderators - something makes me think they will side with the established members (us) before siding with a newbie (you). If you ask questions, and give additional information (long list of mods), you should expect people to go off-topic a bit.

Also, the reason nobody is telling you how to wire this thing up is that none of us were duped into paying $600+ for something that doesn't help performance, so few people probably KNOW how to wire it up.

 

yes, we all know what they LOOK like....the point is to see them on your car.

Hell, I could just say "I have a Stillen Supercharger" and a "GE LM2500 gas turbine in my trunk" and provide pics of them from websites

I've never met anyone with ALL those mods on his car who doens't have at least ONE pic of the engine bay or exterior....

 

Jeff92se, who was one of those who asked for pics, is an admin/moderator... they are paying attention...

 

I am a moderator and I am calling , since you have no idea that this HKS piece does nothing on a NA car. There are some cars on here running well north of 400hp and they are running stock ignition systems with very little modification to the system.... Mr. Jez said it best

 

x 10 char

 

dude, just take some freakin pics man, use your phone or whatever you got, i personally like to see droped maximas, plus sounds like your car is heavily modded. and some of these owners have had their cars for awhile, and they do know what theyre talking about. and dont worry if people get too sarcastic, its just for ***** and giggles. we do try to have fun here.
o BTW, welcome to the org.

 

 

irish if you said you put a thruster from a freakin raptor in your backseat i'd believe you. you are just that twisted.

careveryday, everyone seems to be trying to save you money and time on a part that is worthless. the vq30 is not the engine you want to go NA on. the vq35 is the one. so if you want to do something NA, swap in a VQ35. Hell nissan uses the vq30 in they're jgtc500 championship z car. and it's turbo. te even turned back the power to qualify for the race's.

 

Why dont you just call HKS?

 

Stop calling me BS. I was trying to putting the HRE 540 20" wheels on the my Maxima yesterday and figuring out how to install my HKS twin power. That's why I didn't reply to all these calling me BS reply. Well, as you guys wished yesterday, I did take some pics with some of the parts I have ON THE CAR right now (including the HRE rims). Most people in the forum may hardly have a chance to actually see or feel the quility of the rims. I can tell you that the quility is excellent, even it is a little expensive. Here is the link: http://ca.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/gt3...en%3as,1%3af,0
For many years that I have spent in the import cars' market, I owned several different cars such as 2G integra GSR, 3G integra GSR, RX7 turbo, MR2 turbo, Mazda 3s, and of course the Maxima. I joined all these forums. Most of the time I found these forums are really helpful, and people there are really friendly. I do not really post but read and search most of the threads for infomation. None of the member calling me B.S when I list what I have done to my car, and none of member making jokes of what I asked. However, people in the Maxima forum calling me B.S and making jokes of what I asked. I know the HKS twin power will probably not give me any noticeable gain in hps. I know the factory ignition system is good to some big hps that I will never reach. But you know, sometimes people need to try out new stuff before they can make any comments to it. Some members in the forum do not even know what is HKS twin power. Have you ever see or touched it before you made any commets?? I bet not, because it is too expensive for most of you guys here. Have you ever reached 400whp in your maxima?? I bet not. All you did is searching on the net and see other people saying what they have done to their cars and reached xxxwhps. Sure they will not use HKS twin power, I bet they will not use anything HKS. Does that mean HKS is useless?? How many people used tein coilovers in the forum?? I bet 1/3 members probably never actually see it or not even heard of this brand. I bet 1/2 members don't even know what is EDFC. I bet 99% of member do not even know how to install it. I can tell you even the staff in stillen don't know how to install it, because I have called them a few days ago. Glad I didn't ask "how to install edfc" in the forum, cuz all I will get is people calling me B.S. Does anybody heard of Voltage stabilizer?? I bet most of the members do not have a clue of what I am talking about. Well, one of the import car mags have talked about it and done some dyno to it in the March issue. Maybe you should spend some time on reading it. I have put it on, and it helped my car a little bit. I have the jim wolf cams and valve springs, the rough idle has smoothed out quite much by putting the Voltage stabilizer. But I need to tell you that the Voltage stabilizer is not made to smooth your idle. Maybe this is some extra bouns to me by trying the new stuff. The factory ignition is good enough so that I do not need to modify it. I see your point. The factory maxima is good enough. Why people modify maxima when it is good enough?? I have put almost everything available in the market on my maxima. The HKS twin power is my last one. I know it is not gonna help much, but I will comment it later. I think the member including the Moderater who calling me B.S in the previous posts should stop calling me B.S or maybe EAT the BS that you have made. I have pics to proof what I have done to my car. I don't have pics about the cams and valve springs, cuz I don't want to open my engine. Huge thanks to Sleeper who send me the twin power diagram. You are really helpful and no wonder you are voted to be the Maxima of the month.

 

Who pwnd who now?



ps-those are some big azz wheels

 

............. looks like all of you guys got.......

 

Who ported and polished your heads ? what did they flow when stock ? and what did they flow after the work ? I'm thinking of doing the same to my engine. How much did they charge you ? I got a set of DE-K heads I wanna have ported.

 

Stillen Strut bars-Had them in 2001 and they are overpriced.....

It's strut, not STRUCT -875

Stillen sway bar- works well but again overpriced....Had that too

HKS Twin power is designed for cars requiring additional/customizable spark control for boosted applications, big HP not NA cars making 200-220 at the wheels....You acknowledged that it's not needed on maxima-Never had nor never needed

Tein EDFC-Customizable dampening control via in-cabin controller, helps customize the ride and gives you the ability to help obtain the optimal ride and control for your given situation-very cool product but can be replaced with properly chosen coilover system or spring/strut combo- Had the H&Rs/Tokico(perfect for what I use my cars for)

Cams/Springs-I give you props on that, now these make power and are nice options. Improper Cam selection can affect daily driveablility by altering idle characteristics.

Stillen Grounding kit-overpriced amp wire, can be done for less that $20 at home depot....Pseudo Ricer mod even though it looks cool

Voltage Stabilizer- Umm, not gonna really get into that.....

400hp maxima- You are more like 210 at the wheels on a good day.... I know of one local that prolly does 450 on a little juice with stock internals so yes I have seen it and could build one if I wanted to ..... My old maxima was slow.....Stupid auto

The 20s, well I will give you the HREs are damn nice wheels. 20s on a 5th gen are too big and hender performance....

As far as comments about people not being able to afford parts, Come on man. You went to Stillen.com and just starting throwing stuff into your cart... Alot of the org members are older and can afford what you speak of, myself included. You own a 2000 maxima with some nice mods, remember the car can be picked up for $10K-12K, not exactly big money....

To end, I commend you on your mods and am glad that it's all working out for you. I am sorry for the guys attacking you but you should have done some research instead of giving Steve Millen $645 of your money and saved for a Supercharger... Now that's how you make big power on a Maxima, since you like to link to Stillen so much, I can help you :
http://www.stillen.com/Sportscars_de...id=3159&page=1

Picture for you as well



Have a nice day, now please drive though.

And for Sammzway, no one got , try again Junior

 

I know the twin power will not help me and I didn't brag about how good it is nor how fast my car is with the twin power. I am here to ask helps for installation since I already bought it. I am not here to ask any performance about the twin power. You shold read my title before post first. You, by doing a moderater, lost your justice at first. YOU DID A ****TY JOB. You calling me B.S without seeing anything. Nobody installed these parts I listed on a Maxima does not mean it cannot be installed. You and all these calling me B.S members should give me an apology before making any comments about my car and my modification since I prove what I have done. By the way, I didn't buy the twin power from stillen cuz it's a rip off and that's why I need help on installations. If I got it from stillen or hks dealer, then sure I will have the instructions. I am not here to argue about who owns who. I am here to ask the apology you guys owed me.

 

You were the one who bought the part without having install instructions, not my fault

I lost my justice, wtf is that supposed to mean. I am not the moderator in the 5th gen forum and can't control what others say. I never said they couldn't be installed, we are saying that you won't get any gains from it. If you want to spend your money on hard earned money on useless mods, then go for it

As for an apology, Why would I apologize for trying to help you realize you need to get your money back, if anything you should be thanking us....

So you basically bought the unit without having any idea on how to install it.... Sheer Brilliance

 

I bought the useless parts because that's how I enjoy my life. Does that against you?? Did I spend your money?? I don't know how to install it so i asked here. What's so funny about it?? I though the forum is here to help people when they have questions about their cars. I almost mentioned everytime in my post that the twin power will not help my car. You are the one without reading what I've said in my post and calling me B.S. at the first sentence of your post. Can you tell me why you called me B.S?? Where did I B.S.?? BTW, when did I blame you that it is your fault?

 

We are telling you to return it, I understand you like spending your money on cars. We spend our money on cars but we also do some research to verify that our money is spent in a wise manner and this mod doesn't help your car.

Do what you like... I am done with this thread...

 

HAH...hey off topic, why is htat supercharger only for Manual tranny maximas?

 

SC works on both auto and 5spds, but it gives the best results and reliability (tranny) on a 5spd. As for one HK$ Twin power gives as much gains as Stillen headers- none.

I read all them mods you have on your car, but you don't even have a basic Ypipe, and you installed JWT cams on the car ? Tein SS are ghey.

 

most autos tend not to last too long w/o the vb mod or a build up. stillen supposedly will not sell you one if you tell them you are auto (at least on 2k/2k1) because of liability.

 

I like the car and all but dont put that you have 20in HRE rims when they are nothing but replicated HRE rims.

 

The HRE rims have 20 spokes on them:

Yours:

They have 16 spokes on them.
I have a friend that has 18in HRE 540s on his vette and those sure are not HRE. You dont have to lie to everyone about what you have. So there is a good reason to call
