My wife is not going to like where my X-mas Bonus is going ......

 

Its easier to ask a wife for forgiveness than permission...

 

Im thinking about stage one as my car is stock and I leaning towards moderation for engine life. Im seriously concidering this. Canadian dollar is above par US so its a great deal at 4600 bucks. I might be living in my car after this so I will need some "forgiveness" ... and its freaking cold here in Canada come a month or two

 

The AEM Electronic Tru-boost gauge I'm getting is a 1 button control that lets you dial down the boost for everyday driving and with the push of 1 button, dial it up for the track. I added this upgrade to my SFR Turbo kit just for that reason, the original kit had a manual boost controller....

 

hmmm nice Chern ... only another 400-500 bucks for the stage 2 then. Usually my xmas bonuses are around 8k. still leaves me enought for a nice big sparkly jewlery thinggy for the wife (pondering)

 

NAICE, HighFive!

 

Don't forget the install cost for planning purposes!!!

 

hehe PrjMAx ... last year I renovated the entire main floor with hardwood and new furnature ... Im working on my aproach here for a 5k mod for the max to the wife .. any help here would be appreciated

 

Im ok with the install if its a full kit that doesnt require customizing. Im not an auto mechanic but I am a millwright (industrial mechanic). Is this kit complete without tuning? Because thats the only extra expenditure that I can see.

 

It will need a shop to do some custom fabbing and welding of the piping, other than that SFR says everything else is bolt-up including the inter-cooler. The battery will also need to be trunk mounted (they provide the kit). Also depending on the stage you purchase, SFR does state the computers are pre-programmed to achieve their posted dyno results. I still plan on taking it in for fine tweaking to ensure it's properly tuned to my ride and unique mods...

 

You may not want wife advice from a 19 yr old single dude...

Take her parasailing!!!

 

Thank G-d I dont have a wife to deal with any more, jeeeeezuz!!!! Hey Chern, any thought to getting a lightweight battery for the trunk since you have to mess around with it?

How much fab work is required. Im gonna do my own install when I can get this. Im still recovering from my latest expenditures!

 

SRF sent me a bunch of prefab bent piping but it still needs to be welded together, as for the battery, my car keeps getting lighter and the Optima Red Top I have isn't all that heavy, I'm a big Optima fan so as of now I'm going to stick with it.

LOL and after 23+ years with my wife, it's cheaper to keep her!!!

 

Ur right. May you have 23+ more years!

 

believe me........... it is much cheaper to keep a wife then to get rid of them......

 

I was in a Karaoke bar with some family and friends this weekend and some woman was singing "How am I suppose to live without you, after loving you sooo long" and I yelled out ALIMONY!!! Everyone burst out laughing except the singer!!! Woman can be so emotional...:stfu:

 

LMFAO. Good one Chern. Or "Child Support"! It's killin' me!

 

LMAO ...your implying bumping her off on some extreme sport venture?? ! jk

Ive kinda, sorta in a round about way said to her the other night that I might be putting something expensive in the Max and she didnt freak ... good sign or is she thinking up something for a pay off. "you can get such and such if you buy me so an so" ....

 

Interesting. Hey guys, I was telling my girlfriend about some of my upgrades the other night. She said when (I'm thinking IF) we got married, I wouldn't be allowed to spend anymore money on my maxima. She said (and I quote) it's a sedan, NOT a sports car.

Should I just go ahead and ditch her and get this overwith?

 

I suggest you start a poll on that It has the potential to become a sticky

LOL, even worse!!!

 

I don't have an issue with modding with my girl...

I control most of the money, for the most part. She wants kids in the next 5 years, I told her then the back seats are coming out of my car...she didn't take to kindly to that comment

 

Never date a girl who subscribes to Modern Bride and Guns & Ammo...

 

or a MILF who has swords on the wall, and tells you a story about how she used one to stab her step dad to keep him away. (didn't happen to me, but my room mate in college)

 

Can't wait to see install pictures and after dyno videos! Chern is truly an idol for 6th gen maximas now =) Congrats on your success in life and the car both.

LMAO. I been with my wife for 27 years and I am still modding. She busts my ***** at times but she knows that this is my hobby since I retired. She also says its only a car. What ever she needs she gets.

 

Too funny man. Too funny.

omg dude you have to post a brand new video on you tube after everythin is done, i mean with the the TURBO also. I want to see how your car sounds like
