im looking to build a 12 second max with heads cams exhaust intake and tune who makes the best parts and will i need to upgrade the tranny

 

You will need a lot more than that to get your car in the 12's LOL...

and yes your tranny would need work...

What mods do you have now? lol...

i always love these threads hahaha


let the flaming start.......!!!!

 

1 word...spray

 

spray or FI to get your car in the 12s. and as posted above the tranny isnt going to last most likely doing alot of runs.

slicks + 75 off the line and another 150 shot progressive would probably net you 12s. probably.

that or a turbo + slicks.

NA i doubt you'll ever hit 12s even if you got over 300whp which would cost as much as a turbo mind you, i still don't think you could break into the 12s given the car's weight and tranny...

as for upgrading the tranny you're better off doing a 6 spd swap by far.

 

really dont want to spry i would go for fi cause its rare and i also wanna look into a stroker kit and my mods now are none its 100% stock from the factory and i just hit 45000miles who makes tranny upgades for 5at

 

WRONG!!!!!!

It can be done and it has already....

Here is the proof:

All he has is a intake, exhaust, kinetix and i think 150 shot.

 

kevin's car?

 

Where is he wrong? He says NA you won't do it (Naturally Aspirated) and that you need FI or spray.

 

how much you got to spend? Cause when i was 18 i was broke...lol

 

*Sigh*

 

my bad... but lets see when cattman's headers come out + kinetix and other blot-ons may get us closer to 12s.

 

Lets just say, if you have to ask, you can't afford it.

 

alot of different things could help you gain this. I just saw a g35 with 1000 hp. If they can do it with the same engine we can do it. just because the damn engine is sittin sidewayz doesn't make it different. There are two magazines I have seen this week that are focusing on the vq35 internals. Recommend you pick one up. If I can remember which ones they were I will repost. I also know there is a magazine competition going on right now that has them competing on a engine build for castrol... I think it's castrol. I will get my facts straight but it's happening. and one of the mags has chosin the vq35de as their base and they are hoping to achieve +500hp. you could just get the sts turbo kit. twin turbo exhaust setup with almost no lag. I would recommend internal work first though. deffinitly don't try running a 5at with this much power. The only guy on here to upgrade that piece of **** tranny is Chern and he isn't giving in on his secret blueprints.

 

http://www.sportcompactcarweb.com/te...ild/index.html and here this is what you should start with http://www.cosworthusa.com/store/pc/...0&idproduct=53 and this is just amazing what they are doing. http://www.syntectopshop.com/sportco...eos/index.html

 

Careful selection of internal engine tuning modifications can lift an engine from a docile supermarket cruiser to a rally spec dirt thrower.While it is tempting to throw in every modification you can it's worth noting that they don't always work well together ie: a gas flowed head with a sport cam produces less power than it would with just one of the two modifications if the cam profile is not carefully matched to the head flow rate. You want to avoid ending up with a high BHP engine that has an unusable low torque output.

thanks guys for all your answers, i have money and if i swap to a 6mt is it stronger then a 5at or is there just more support, does anyone think its worth it to go stroker
http://www.briancrower.com/view.php?pn=BC0225

 

a 6mt is definitely stronger and more reliable and easier/cheaper to beef up.

just slap on a turbo and call it a day. if you seriously have the $ to drop on the stoker kit do it lol...4.1L v6 turbo here we go! lol

 

How much do you guys think a swap like this would cost?

 

well if you can't do the work yourself, a good deal. most shops want nothing to do with it. and speed shop charge around $100 an hour...

you need to buy:
tranny
ecu
linkage etc.
lightweight flywheel
aftermarket clutch
poly'd engine and tranny mounts...

just in parts you're looking at around 1600-1800, most likely, shipped to your door. i added in some stuff you don't need for the swap but there is no reason to be in there and not upgrade those components.

that will also drop you about .5 in the 1/4 or more. i'm going to be doing the same swap/mods this spring before i go FI. i can't wait. autos are boring, slow, unreliable, expensive to fix, rob power...the list goes on.

 

can someone ban that guy already? lol his in every thread.. WHERES THE MODS!!! lol

 

AV8R needs to be he's starting to annoy me and I'm sure other members. When he is banned I will for the mods.

 

well i have about $9k in total so idk what i should do and i dont need to do everything now i can save more and wait. also i talked to a buddy of mine whos said he would be willining to do the stroker kit for free as long as i held him and he has all the tools

 

LOL

typos are great huh...no but seriously good luck on whatever you decide to do,.. 9g's idk if i would dump all that at once

 

I would much rather buy a car that you can heavily mod and is worth it(350z)((not hating on maximas either lol)) than doing whatever heavy modding on a heavy maxima. If your looking for speed, your looking in the wrong place,but hey,whatever makes you happy right?

 

God damn it...

 

9 grand could get you a new motor allready prebuilt ready for a drop in. check out those links I gave you and there is another company that makes an allready built vq35 for about 7 grand which has all new internals and is bored to the max.

 

wtf is the point its a fwd , too much spin , you're going to end up spending 10k , and you wont even be able to race anyone on the street , just sell your max , get a 2003 e55 amg and you're in low 12's right away , with superior quality and looks compared to our maximas , that's what i want to do

 

I say get coilovers and shift your weight ratio to the front more and get some engine mount inserts and who cares if it's fwd. buy slicks and your set.

 

i was thinking about selling my max and getting a g35 sedan, the only reason i didnt get a 350z is because the insurance copanys are gonna murder me cause im young i personally think for right now ill do a intake, manifold, header, catback, tune, slicks and call it a day

 

and some handling mods shocks spriings sway bars...etc

 

sell the car, invest the 9gs into an already turbo/modded g35 and call it a day. thats what i would do dropping anything more then 5-6gs into a maxima is kinda pointless imo. but thats me...

 

9g's?!?!?! r u nutts? sell your max my man and get a evo and register it under your parents. spend 3g's of that 9g on the engine and you will proly b a lot happier. then go to RAYS engineering buy a nice set of wheels for the evo and get some cf parts and coliovers. you will be soo much happier my man. believe me.

i mean i love maximas but if you want serious performance like that getting a evo or a sti or z or a g is the best way. but if you want to be one of the few ppl with a 12 sec maxima you got my support buddy. im 18 too and i really wish i have 9g's like you do right now. i will sell my car in a heart beat for a evo or a sti.

 

You ran a 14.4 stock? Guys is this possible with an automatic? I thought the autos were around 14.8

 

Fastest stock auto 6th gen was a 14.2 IIRC

 

i ran a 14.5 IIRC... But that was on the Goodyear Eagle RSA's...

With my PS2's and my mods i would think to be high to mid 13's 13.5-13.7

 

i think im gonna buy a g35 sedan or coupe and greddy twin turbo, tune, exhaust , heads, cams and ill be spent but that car will be FAST

 

that sounds nice little one. Now run along and go bug the guys on g35driver.com
edit: if i were you i'd just buy one all tricked out already. saves you a boat load of money and it should be fairly easy to find one with some/most of the mods you want already done.

 

so your playstation 2 and your mods have you hitting 13s? well looks like i will have to tell the wife about this, so i to can have a playstation 2 in the max....

 

Call my boy Frank at hill's Garage. They worked on a twin turbo kit for our cars. He told me he can get everything on and tuned for right around 9k H eis a beast and will definatley be able to help you if you can get your car to mD

 

i'm going to assume your not joking. ps2 are a great tire.

The Pilot Sport PS2 is a Max Performance Summer tire member of the Michelin Pilot family of low profile, high-speed tires. Initially developed for Original Equipment (O.E.) on some of the world's most prestigious sports cars and performance sedans, the Pilot Sport PS2 combines world-class dry road traction, handling and cornering. Some of the first Pilot Sport PS2 O.E. fitments included the BMW Alpina Z8, McLaren SLR and Porsche GT2 & GT3 models. The Pilot Sport PS2 is not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.
On the outside, Pilot Sport PS2 features two different tread rubber compounds (a hybrid silica/carbon black compound that begins at the tire's outer shoulder and continues across the tread until it joins a high-silica compound that continues to the tire's inside shoulder) molded into an asymmetric design with large outer shoulder blocks and continuous intermediate and center ribs to enhance steering response and cornering stability. Both tread compounds are specifically formulated for their location to combine dry and wet traction with crisp corning and high speed capability. The tread design also features wide circumferential grooves and lateral notches that help channel water through the footprint to enhance wet road traction.
On the inside, the tread design is supported by two high-tensile, lightweight steel cord belts that are further reinforced by size-optimized, precisely placed individual Aramid/nylon hybrid filaments to provide improved steering response and resistance to distortion while enhancing ride quality and high-speed durability.
