bore out or engine swap?
Ok so my engine is about done and is in need of a major over haul. Ive been thinking of boring it out to a 3.2 or just do an engine swap to a 3.5 from the new maxima. Im wondering if anyone has done this and which one would give me the best performance for my money. Thanks

I don't think one has been bored out. A 3.5 has been put in, but required the use of the entire wiring harness (including ECU). I think a tranny from a 3.5 also had to be used. So basically a 3.5 powertrain with a 4th gen body.
A 3.5 bottom end has also been put in. I don't remember the what the gains were, but the 4th gen electronics were used.
4th gen engines are pretty cheap so you could just replace it and do other mods. Boosting would possibly be cheaper than the other options and has certainly been done more so there would be more experienced people to help you through it.
Are you going to umass or do you live in amherst all the time?

with saved money, you can buy some common sense.
