Iv just bought a maxima 2004 265HP 3.0L

and I dont know what kind of Turbo kit and what kind of exhaust system I should buy for it ....

post what you think + the possible price for it..

 

Your engine size is 3.5 not 3.0. Try the new Injen Cold Intake for 2004 Maxima. It will add 16 horsepower and if you get the Stillen Cat back system thats another 20+ horsepower.

 

actually in the US its 3.5 in the middle-east is 3.0

Thanx

 

if you're lucky as hell you might get 16 hp out of a injen intake. the stillen exhaust wont get you near 20+ hp unless maybe you have a wide viarety of other performance upgrades.

 

I agree. You can't just add up all the "claimed" HP of your mods and get a realistic total gain.

I'm really thinking about throwing on the Injen CAI. Even 10-12HP gain would be a great value for the money. Heck there's usually an increase in fuel economy with an open air filter like that. I could sure use it.

CM.

 

Uh oh not again...

 

what about the cattback exhaust system..??

What would that get me .. 10-15 HP??

 

you wont get more than 3-5 hp with exhaust as your first mod

 

Yup!! Conceivably, the HP/TQ added may occur in different parts of the powerband.

Injen's website showed an 11whp/4wlb-ft increase from their CAI on the 6sp 5G Maxima with the biggest gain (mod vs stock) between 5,500-6,000rpm. http://www.injen.com/webpages/testin...es/rd_1940.jpg

The Cattman Y-pipe shows a 4.7whp/6.3wlb-ft increase on an auto 5G 3.5L Maxima with the biggest gains (mod vs stock) between 4,300-5,000rpm. But the Y-pipe on they dyno I have shows that the Y-pipe chokes WHP below 3,700rpm. (If someone wants to host the Cattman dyno pics I have, I'll gladly send them.)

But the rule of thumb with performance mods is to try to get some dyno figures for your application of at least similar apps (i.e.: 5G 3.5 Maximas, Alty 3.5SE, G35, Z, etc,...) in order to get a feel for the mods' true benefits.

Peace.
