Couple questions...

Figured I'd start a new thread since I solved the problem on my other thread.

In the near future I plan to do some modifications to my '01 Maxima. It'll be in the 350 - 400hp range when I am done with it.

I have figured I'd need ~400cc injectors, where can I get some for my car? Assuming someone makes some, other wise I'll just modify some.

Going to need a clutch/pressure plate that can handle that kind of power. Which ones should I go with and where can I buy them? I figure it'll be a Spec Stage II+ clutch, maybe a Stage I can handle it, not sure. Who sells performance stuff for Maximas??

Since I will have the transmission out to replace the above, I'm gonna go ahead and get an aluminum flywheel. Where? What kind?

Exhaust. This will need to be upgraded as well, probably just a 3" from the exhaust manifolds and back. Where? What kind?

Custom Tuning options. I see that eManage is what most people seem to go with. Where can I buy it from? Are there any other options or is eManage about the only way to go?

I know I can search these forums day and and day out and eventually get all the information I need, but it's so spread out/mixed in with other information or on the 15th page. Makes it a bit difficult to find for a new comer/inactive forum member like myself.

Mostly I am just looking for the vendors who sell stuff for my car, once I get that; Finding the technical information I can do. Who's reputable, who's not?

Look into deatschwerks. Also, any 350z injectors will fit, but make sure you do the right conversion as the 5th gen fuel pressure is 3 bar and the z is 3.5 bar, so the flow will be different

Check the group deals section, these will all be in there

Either get in on the cattman 3" setup or go custom

I am actually kind of glad you mentioned that, because I forgot about the fuel pump. I am sure that'll need to be upgraded as well to provide enough fuel. Are our cars a return style fuel system or returnless?

+1 On GD section, I got my Exedy clutch/Fidanza flywheel from there.

Check the forced induction section for more insight. Quite a few people are running SC'd well into the 350+ range, you can also do a custom turbo kit (rear mount is what a lot of members go with) so do some research there.

I do plan to go turbo, something in the 20G range. I've plotted 16g, 18g and 20g turbos and found that the 20g would be the best match in the 8 - 12 PSI range. Haven't plotted any others yet, but I will once I get closer to actually buying the turbo.

I was going to probably remote install it in front/behind the transmission as there seems to be a lot of space in that general area.

From the looks of it, I think I'm gonna just go with Spec Stage I and a Spec flywheel.

Im not sure if the 5th gen is returnless, I know the 5.5 isnt, but for some reason I think the 5th might be. A lot of guys use t03/04 hybrids, gt25's, gt30's and up to hx35's with some serious people going bigger

That page says injectors can be found at this location:
http://www.mobiletek.net/Index.aspx

I don't see any products listings for injectors, anywhere.
