SSIM...who does them?
I don't think you can just get someone to do it on here. You'd probably have to take it to a machine or mechanic shop and tell them what you want them to do. It's some serious moding so be prepared to pay some dollars. I'm gonna attempt it myself next week
Why would you do this ?
the reason the 4th gen do this is because they can extend the rev limiter to make power up top and they have no control for the VIAS unless using a window switch /rpm switch to active it.
your going to lose low end/mid range
waste of time unless your boosted/ spray or have a reflash UpRev

keener in answer to your question im doing this because it was one of the mods suggested to me by a couple of companies you should know fi-r and 2j Racing, and because andy has it on the smurf wasnt that the car that whooped your "300hp" vq?

whoever you are you need to get your facts straight buddy,
Kevins b15 VS Andy car had nothing to do with my company, they went out racing and it was not like it was setup , or a call out from either shop.
So dont start nothing ....
FACTS :
Andy's car on Drag radials.
Kevin's car on Street Tires.
Now if it was ME DRIVING maybe a different story , so why don't you get your facts straight before you "Think" you know anything about this matter.
we are not a shop that build cars for drag racing , we supply Jenvey ITB's for customers that wants them on their track/road cars.
the picture in my SIG only shows Jenvey ITBs on a VQ , the same exact setup as SG motorsports is using , its not "MY" car
and if these companies suggested to you Then Why are you asking this forum about SSIM and not them ?
I am not being a SMART @ss , Im asking why would you do the SSIM if you do not have supporting mods like extended rev limiter and cams.
But HEY what do I know since they suggested to you ,
obliviously you own a sentra and not a 6th gen

NO maybe you should get your facts straight i own a sentra with a 6th gen motor and maybe you should ask since i do have supporting mods 7300 redline, arp rod bolts, cams, reflashed ecu so please take your opinion and shove it, 
and even if you were driving the outcome would have been the same smoked d/r's or not

you are a bit or a ***** aren't you ?
this was a intelligent conversation when I ask why you would do this mod ,
and without knowing what you drive or the facts or mods,
your an idoit for posting it under 6th GENERATION MAXIMA, so everyone assumes you have a 6th gen.
I think I posted fairly and not bashing on any one but it seems you need to take upon yourself to post things that had nothing to do with anything.

no your an idiot for arguing with me over it
this was the best spot i could find i would have posted it in the n/a section but seeing as how this mod is used for more than n/a purposes i stuck it in the section where my motor actually came from so please :matt93se:

I have never mentioned your shop, or your name.. so, don't send me stupid PM's and go posting like I said anything about you. What people tell you is YOUR business. Not mine. My beef was with the way Kevin talked smack, and tried to disrespect my shop, and my work. Kevin made all of these claims about having the most badass VQ swapped Spec V in the states. He got his *** handed to him by a car that I put together, that cost half of what he paid. And, it wouldn't matter who was driving. The car would have lost regardless. They raced from a roll, and wheelspin wasn't a factor. Kevin even wanted to go from a 60mph roll on the last race. He still lost.
As far as the SSIM mod, it's track proven with a cammed VQ. We've built some wicked fast N/A VQ's with stock bottom ends, and all have SSIM.

This is Travis..
I don't like getting drug into crap. I got a PM with this guy going off on me about Kevin Keen and this and that, and pointed to this thread. I'm like, WTF are you talking about? lol..
You say it has nothing to do with your company, yet you have Kevin's car posted in your signature?
The FACT is this.. Kevin and Andy raced from a roll. Drag radials had nothing to do with it. No one spun tires.. not even Kevin. Again, my beef is with Kevin.. not you. And, it seems like you're the one getting hostile in here. Why so defensive? If it has nothing to do with you, then let it be.
Whoever put Kevin's engine combo together, and tuned it, obviously didn't know what they were doing. That car did not make the power that it should have, period. Then, to top it off, he's burning oil in the dyno video of his car.. lol. He talked all that smack about me/my company, when his car ran just fine with one of our VQ swaps for years and years. I've knocked out damn near 50 VQ swaps in that past 7 years, and all but 2 of them are still around. Those 2 were totalled.
Those are facts.. whether or not they have anything to do with you, is none of my concern.

Dude I have Kevins car because it shows the ITB kit fits under the hood for the Maxima guys.
that was it , I message you Travis out of courtesy and I never drag you into anything.
you decide you want to blow this up on a public forum.
I mis understood what the OP drove or had only because he posted in the 6TH GEN SECTION MAXIMA.

Honestly, I don't care man.. You sent me this huge PM on ANOTHER site, b*tching (or that's how I took it), and linked me to this thread/site. I have nothing against you, your company, or whatever. I don't know you at all.. So, whatever misconception you have about me, or my thoughts about you/your company is unfounded. I can't stand Kevin Keen.. I pointed out where you were wrong in your ideas about why he lost to Andy. That has nothing to do with your company, or you personally. I also stated that you had a picture of his car in your sig. All obvious things.. nothing malicious.
I don't have time for petty BS.. If your feelings are hurt, then I'm sorry. I don't know you, nor do I care about any of this. Your beef with this person is just that.
Travis
The SSIM is worth it for what you're doing.. That being said, I don't do it anymore, because it's too time consuming for the money it brings.

Maybe someone will chime in..

the SSIM is a performance part. You are obviously into serious modifications, yet your are a lazy little newb because your answer is out there in many forms yet you felt it necessary to clutter up our forum board with the same question in a different form. its always the same story, hey i want to mod for performance, should i buy a performance part? ...the answer is YES, do i really have to explain why? If you did a very quick and simple search you will find the SSIM is great for people with extended rev ranges. but i understand if that is too challenging for you, you did buy a sentra anyways..
just a few things to point out..
A: you have a sentra with a vq35....
thats like having a pair of buy one get one free $9.99 payless shoes with 100 dollar laces.
B: your a newbie talking down to a bunch of senior members
Ill bet you'll have great luck getting help with your problems in the future. The members your disrespecting, actually know a great deal about their maximas and the VQ, they end up helping a lot of people with problems no one else can solve. you kinda just shot yourself in the foot with your bad attitude.
if you have to ask about the SSIM then you don't know enough about cars to go it alone. If you know how to engine swap but don't know how to find information that is readily available and talked about in great detail, you got something wrong with your brain.. you know how teachers say there is no such thing as a stupid question? well congratulations!! YOU JUST ASKED A STUPID QUESTION!!
This is a site for MAXIMA owners. All you have in a vq35 engine. so you only partly belong here. mind your manners

The Spec V with a VQ swap is probably one of the most fun vehicles that I've ever driven, actually.. and, I've owned several different generations of Maximas.
Just remember, they're all made in Mexico or Tennessee nowadays. lol..

Twenty peggs! My man my man... tell ya what you dont know sit about me bro so lemme tell you a lil somethin i will defend myself to the end so that being said you must also be illiterate as a ****in 2yrkidding old my question was not should i buy this my question was does someone do this in their spare time or know a shop that would do the work for $300 or less so you should try and read before blowing off about something you know.nothing about ypu maxima guys make me laugh you think ypu havr the hottest car on the block since its a step up from the sentra, guess what my friend? Idk if what you drive but i probably spent less than half of what you did and i could probably toast you sorry to get your panties in a bunch ol boy

dude, i REALLY don't think my maxima is a hot car.. I have owned faster cars, motorcycles, ect.. before this maxima i had a 02 corvette that i was knee deep into with a twin turbo kit. however, with performance severely lacking in the maxima, the interior is pretty good.
I was just giving you a hard time because you not defending yourself your just being an *******. there is a difference!
when i go from riding a zx6r that does 0-60-0 before your car hits 50 mph and i look at a sentra, which is not just a step down, its 2 steps down, i had to give you a little grief.
Now if you had that thing turbo'd and was running along side EVO's then you get my props.

my goal her is 300whp all motor, this will suffice enough to burn the mustang in town that is sooooooooo badass (or so everyone says) I heard him grind 3rd and 4th yesterday leaving work, once that is complete this whole motor is coming out and headed south to be bored out and built with low compression components, then once that is said and done it will be time for me to break out the welder and start fabbing up some turbo manifolds since none are readily available for a vq sentra, my highest hopes are to reach out and go over 550whp enough to burn mostly any import save a few, im willing to apologize if i came across as an ******* im not Im a 23 yr old factory worker with nothing more than barely a hs diploma and thousands of pages of chilton manuals, haynes manuals, etc read over twice and again, im not a **** and would like to befriend this community but when someone like NIZMO steps across the line and starts talking like I know nothing about my car, my fuse becomes very very short, so that being said hopefully you and I are on the same page and to every senior member on this website I am sorry if I offended you, however to Nizmo1o1 you and I will forever have a beef between us to you I will apologize for nothing

It's good to see your doing things the right way though. Many people wouldn't bother to convert a high compression engine to low compression before they slap on a turbo kit! So thumbs up man. I would love to see a 500horse sentra. I love sleepers although a car build for racing like a corvette is fun to drive there is nothing better than dusting something like a corvette with a car that shouldn't be dusting anything like that!
then you should probably see this, this is a stock motor 4cyl turbo sentra vs corvette... <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/_RIbdku4siU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

the only problem with the sentra and 500 hp is the FWD, i have seen a few 500hp srt-4 and they the only way to put down that power is to put in HUGE drag radials in the front. And when i say huge, they are so big they can't make a 45 degree turn if they wanted to. they are basically aimed forward and towed back. Has anyone ever converted the sentra to RWD?

You will have to wash out the inside of the manifold yourself. I don't answer pm's or come on here regularly (Can you blame me? This thread is a prime example, OP asked a simple question). I won't answer a question about the SSIM for you unless it is in regards to the one you have shipped off to me.
