I知 wanting to push the horsepower over 700hp minimum.. she needs to fall in properly with my other rides.. nothing in Oklahoma offered or Dallas.. no one wants to mess with her.. thoughts suggestions please and thank you gentleman.. and ladies too if u throw idea .. thanks

really, a front drive 700 hp car? Ok.

I get what you are trying for but really it is economically unfeasible to get this kind of HP. Sometime back someone wanted to try to swap out a GTR drivetrain which would be a wild enough car. The wrong car to start with.

Okay Kay, let's do a feasibility study on this.
First question is how much money, max. (no pun intended), do you have to spend on this project?
Second, how much time are you willing to spend to achieve your objective?

No flame intended but I "got" the photo. One pic is worth a thousand words. Madmax shows you the SRT because that's the type of car you are shooting for, less of course, the cool Maxima chassis you have now. Major HP/torque requires RWD, a majorly strong drive train, including drive shaft, differential, axles, wheel bearings, exhaust system, shocks, springs, etc. I am not surprised that you can find no one who thinks they can pull this off successfully and make money doing it. Also, please remember that laying down the torque (efficiently) to the pavement wins stop light and 1/4 mile drags, not necessarily HP.

Hey man, go f^(< yourself with your 2 post self. You can't come into a forum with that kind of bull$H!+ and expect to be taken seriously. That is assuming this isn't a put-on. If it's a put-on, great, you had your fun, but if you're dead serious about taking a $40k grocery getter and get some insight on a shop that's capable of getting you 700HP...Take it to GasMonkey Garage, they have done some crazy sh!+ before, but even they will look at you for a long pause...then exclaim "get the f^(< out of here!"

Put a LSx motor and transmission in it and SOMEHOW make it RWD. Next, you have to find someone who can make everything jive with the computer. If you have THAT kind of money you need professional financial planning because a fool and his money part ways quickly with ideas like that.
BTW...MadMax is right.

I have learned an expensive lesson over and over since I could drive and I will give you this advice for free that I paid so dearly to learn. If you want something fast.......BUY IT THAT WAY OFF THE SHOWROOM FLOOR. The rabbit hole is dark and deep my friend.

I know we've had this conversation a jillion time with before, and basically the folks who are saying "it is what it is" are correct.
i think it is possible to do some creative things with a turbo to get more power on the low end, and increase acceleration times. At some point it has to be throttled back to keep below the CVTs max torque rating once maximum rpms are reached. In other words, get to the max HP at lower RPM, but not increase it. Also, if the simulated shift programming could be disabled, that should help too.
That is my 2 cents, I am not an automotive engineer

That's stupid. Sure if you want a power house monster then you should have bought one with the right bones but 50+hp is not unreasonable for most engines to handle. Every car I've owned has had some modifications done to it at some point to absolutely no ill effects. My WRX was 2x the HP by the end, my 4Runner has 4" lift and 4" bigger tires, and my Fiesta ST had a stiffer motor mount to help counteract excessive wheel hop. I know the Maxima is supposed to be a dad car but considering the VQ35DE engine has been around FOR EVER as far as engines go it has proven itself to handle plenty of power. Now unless the CVT is made of glass at the very least a chip should be able to get around 20-30hp without any physical modifications. A header back exhaust should be able to get another 15-20 as well.
Stop relying on stated HP gains printed on the box. No way in hell you are gonna get 20-30hp with a "chip" on a non-boosted motor. That is laughable. A tune alone might get you 7-8hp but if you've added intake and exhaust bits a tune will make it run better and smoother. Just understand as soon as you "tune" a car whatever time you had left with the factory warranty is now in the toilet.

The problem is a lot of people can't stop after 50hp, like you said 2x the hp by the end. Good chance that motor's bottom end grenaded by now.

I get it, your a factory drone and don't know what your talking about. Look at the other stated uses of the VQ35DE according to Nissan. They range from 230-300. Its all l based on what Nissan wants the engine to make. Cars tuned from the factory usually have a good 20% left in their stock output to make it as reliable as possible and handle manufacturing irregularities. That's the point of a stage 1 tune, no modifications (except maybe an intake) but and a good tune. While it does happen, its VERY rare that an engine from the factory is anywhere near the limits of its capabilities.
Also no duh that your warranty will be gone. That's not the point of this endeavor. If you want to keep your precious warranty so you never have to lift a wrench then don't do anything, buy the extended service contract, and let the tech at the dealership who doesn't give a **** about your car change your oil.
The point is that while it may be getting considerably harder these days to mod your car yourself due to the technical inter-dependencies of systems. To think that it isn't possible is "laughable".

Nope, It went just like every EJ20 out there and blew a head gasket at 130k. Stage 3 WRX's are VERY common. Don't know anything about them? Don't talk **** about them then.

Yeah, when I buy a new car I would kinda like to have the precious factory warranty like most of the people on this site that have a half brain. Stop being so butt hurt it makes your replies "laughable". I await your bloviated response about how I'm an idiot and how much smarter and more knowledgable you are than me. Yawn.
