hey guys.
i want to add some (performance) to my maxima..
what would be the best thing?
what would be the cheapest thing to do?
and it'll work it self up.... I was thinking bout' Y-pipe, is there something better than y-pipe, beside supercharger?
anything else that u might suggest pls let me know, and add some info bout' it
thanks

 

GAB, 17* timing advance and headers. About 600 if you install the headers yourself.

 

headers and a stand alone ECU professionally tuned on a dyno. but that's a pricey option... If you don't want to pay 1.5k+ just get the y-pipe, b-pipe, GAB and advance your timing to 17.

 

Id have to say get the advanced timing and the headers,
i have both and the y pipe, love the power i get out of it

 

how do i do the advancing thing? where do i go to get that done?
how much does it coast? is it bad for your car? and what does it do? more info on it pls, i would like to get it done, but what does it do to ur car?
thanks

Only a dealer can do it. Costs about 80-100$. The lowest grade fuel you can probably get away with is 91, otherwise you get knock which is not good. Increasing acceleration and a little more efficient.

 

b-pipe, GAB and advance your timing to 17.

LMAO
good one Puppetmaster
yeah i did research, and i found out that if i advance my timing, that i'll have to use some high grade gas, is that true? i am using the one in the middle rite now, i think its 89 octane.... what gas will i have to use when i do the timing advance thing?
thanks

 

you should be using premium (91 octane) but, a cai, and a 17* timing advance are your friends.

 

I'd use premium regardless, using lower octane gas can cause early detonantion, which in turn would retard your timing.

 

I use 89 is that TOO low?

 

As Alpinestars posted 3 posts up, 91 is the minimum octane rating.

 

Why not just use premium like nissan says? People have had problems not using premium, several problems have been mentioned. How can people honestly be that cheap that they can't put premium in, but would rather save $3 and put regular or $1.50 for 89. I'm somewhat perplexed by this.....

 

i agree...if you fill your tank with premium its only a few more dollars and you wont have problems with anything...you cant really say that about using regular...maybe i have no regard for money but an extra $15 a month to put the recommended fuel in your car is definitely worth it..

I was wondering, are there places the the US where 91+ is not available? I mean I always use 93 or 91 but what if I need to take a long road trip somewhere to Wyoming?
