just been thinking here
anything to look out for on the 5spd se's known as problem area's and such?

also

dyno numbers for the 5spd Vs the auto on motor {stock}
and s/c'ed with the 6 psi pulley

 

For 2k-2k1
- Check out the TSB for the ECU update
- know for warped rotors
- make sure you get the fuel filler cover if it's a 2k1

Stock 5 speed about 190 hp auto is somewhere in the 170 hp range
6 psi pulley is about 245 hp
Not sure about torque figures.

 

cool. i'll see what else i can find.
im loking for one uder 20k with decent miles and not abused. im not too picky on options but the 17's i do want.

is the 245 for the auto?
i figured the 5 speeds would have been around 280-300 mark somewhere.
how much boost can these motors hold?
i see people running 9 psi.
if i do get the blower it will get a fmic. just for saftey and cool guy looks

 

You can easily find one for that price now.

245 is for the manual (that's what others got).

Not sure what the highest boost the engine can hold. As Don in Texas once said, go as high as until the head gasket blows... then turn it 1 PSI back.

Take note on how high it went and make sure you don't make the same mistake next time.

No need for a FMIC unless you're boosting pretty high.

 

only 245? that blows ***

i thought the 4th gens with a v1 were getting around 280 to the wheels?

maybe thats a smaller pulley
id actually like to get around 280 to the wheels. not sure if thats a pipe dream or not.

do they respond better to boost or nitrous?

{sorry for all the "no0bie" questions. just want solid info before i dive into this so im not disappointed}

 

Just noticed that you're selling the GSX.

Yeah it's with a smaller pulley. Lyt97SC tuned the car to put down 270 whp with the 3.48 pulley. 280 can be easily done with a manual (because I did 284 with my auto). Figure 190 whp stock plus 60 whp with the blower... it's not too bad.

Boost or nitrous? I have no clue which one will work better.

I don't consider those questions.

 

yep sellin the 400 hp beast
tired of breaking things on it.

i was actually sitting here thinking of mods. {which is not a big list}

y-pipe
exhaust
high flow cat {maybe. if i see proof of hp gains}
ported tb and port matched intake
springs and shocks
sway bars
strut bars {if they got em}

and ultimately a s/c would love to put a procharger on there instead of a vortech.
procharger has a tendency to put out more power {same boost but higher cfm flow rate}

3.48 = Xpsi??
i see most people are running a 3.125 which im guessing is around 9 psi or so?
id say 9 psi would be good for almost 300 with other supporting mods.

also whats this i hear about the fmu disc's?

{large battery of questions. sorry just one of things i wat to know about before doing it. everything little things is important}

 

Would the procharger fit in place of the vortech?

3.48 is about 7.5 psi. 3.125 is about 10-11 psi. 9 psi should be in the 300 hp mark for a manual, but I'm not totally sure.

The FMU disc is the fuel management when you're boosting. It increases the pressure via the auxilliary pump. You can check out the FAQ on http://www.vortechsuperchargers.com for detailed info.

 

great idea.. if you don't mind driving an S2000 Maxima .. (no torque )

 

 

yikes, these motors will handle the 11 psi?

yep, if you remember a long time ago vortech was trying to sue procharger for a design infringment.

they are a lot alike. just i prefer procharger better.

i guess in the all actuality of it. im looking for 300 fwhp.
so far it doesn't much of a pipe dream

are the prices of the AE max's still stupid high?

 

I know this is a newbie question...
What's a pulley...and what are those numbers 3.125,3.48

 

the pulley runs the SC blower and is connected to the engine and the SC via a belt. The numbers are the diameter of the pulley. Smaller pulley means more boost.

 

ok thanks

 

Stock 5spd 2001 Maxima Dynoed. This was mine when you were at the meet!

Here is one of my auto stock a while back as well..2000 model.

Actually warped rotors is dependent on the driver and if the lugs are over torqued. I do not have warped rotors because I made sure my lugs were correctly tightend. I have 13,500 miles now.

 

2PSI Adam dynoed stock 250s hp, with no bolt ons except a SC with the stock pulley. With all the bolt ons and proper tuning the car can hit 300hp with a SC. Adam doesn't even have it properly tuned.

 

cool

so the mods i listed a few posts back would put it in the upwards of 300 fwhp
