So i searched for a while and sorry for posting this but how hard is it to install the NWP spacer kit on a 2000 maxima. All i could find was people for the 2002-2003 installations.

Bump?

 

According to Aaron they are 4th gen kits modified to fit the DEK and not much modification is needed besides some trimming. I wouldnt bump so often if i were you.

 

Alright sorry. How long does it take to install the spacers?

 

figure on about 3 -4 hours, that's including swapping your plugs while you're in there.

 

There is no reason to use it on a 2000. The NWP spacers are to reduce the temperature from the aluminum IM on the VQ30DE and the VQ35. The DE-K has a polycarbonate (plastic) IM that doesn't get hot to any significant degree, so IM spacers would make virtually no difference on air temperature (and therefore no difference on performance).

If someone has done it on a DE-K and has dynos to show any actual gain, I'll take back my statement...I haven't been in here in a little while.

 

but dont the kit also provide spacers for the lower intake manifolds ? there aluminum and get a good bit of heat soak.

 

^^ don't know...I thought it was only for the uppers, but could be wrong.

You know if there had been something worthwhile and inexpensive to do on the DE-K for more power I would have done it on the old max

 

I might have to look into it.

 

well they just came out with the modification instructions a little while ago, didn't they? And it does come with the lower intake manifold spacers. haha alone lowering the exhaut note a little bit might be worth it tho =)

 

Longer intake runners
