50-60 is usually the most on a stock fuel pump. I guess the brand I recomend is obvious. Dry for sure, unless you want to dump $$$ in to it.

http://vbxmaxima.8m.com/nitro2.html for some nitrous info.

Feel free to e-mail me for help.

I was wondering where you place the NOS jet on the different dry/wet systems?

For a dry system(ZEX????), does the jet have to be located BEFORE the MAF or will it work just in front of the throttle-body?

For a dry system you should spray before the TB, not through the MAF.

The only way to do a reliable wet system is by doing a profogger system, those systems can costs $1200+

Since u have an auto i would recommend the ZEX kit because it only sprays when the throttle is open and u could go as high as a 75 shot because even Sport Compact Car said that the engine could handle it....as far as wet and dry kits i wouldn't know...if u do go with nitrous be sure and get air/fuel ratio gauge to make sure its mixing right

The NOS dry kit comes with a WOT switch.

75hp, nope the stock fuel pump wont provide enough fuel volume to handle it. The motor can take allot, I run 100hp.

A/F is ok on a budget, but EGT is the best choice.

Matt, you are in the wrong forum! First time I seen you post here.


I think you can go with a NOS kit. Even if you do have an auto. I'm going the NOS route and I'm an auto.

Wouldn't it make more sense to spray upstream of the MAF so it can read the extra "air" entering the system and signal the ECU to add more fuel? Or does it not matter since at WOT the ECU switches to open loop mode and dumps in extra fuel anyway?

This only reliably works on the LS1 motor system. In might work on the Maxima but I'm not going to be the one to try it. Look at the link in my sig and go to the NOS dry kit instructions to under stand how it works.

Do you run the upgrade pump as a replacement, or inline with the stock pump? Thanks.

I run a pump upgrade, Walbro 255LPH High Pressure.

I supose you can run a "boost" pump like the super charged cars do.
