I put the stock intake manifold and hooked teh catback up yesterday. Feels alot better, especially since my vi hasn't worked in a while. Anyway we will make some more vids today. Anyone interested in the dyno, its on my homepage, or if you have runviewer I'll send you the file.
damn that thing sounds sick

Mods at the time of the video:
Cams, Headers, test pipe, non working VI, K&N, underdrive pulley, and no ac/ps.

Maybe I am just wrong, but it doesn't "look" that fast, if squeeling of the tires isn't a good indication. I was mearly going off something that was a typical showing of a maxima with decent power.. not that all cars break loose.
And yes, everyone else's car is a piece of **** except mine. All of maxima.org has ****ty cars, please please please stopping posting pics of all your **** cars.
**** you.

That would be a beast. I think any N/A max that has the ability to pull on an SRT-4 with stock redline and broke-down MEVI is damn impressive, I don't know about you...

the idle does indeed own!!!!! The fact that his MEVI wasn't working means little because he doesn't have the JWT ecu's extended redline, plus the MEVI does very little if anything from 0-70mph. It's too bad he doesn't have a 95-97 because he could really take advantage of all that extra topend power.
That lope sounds pretty cool, but it sounds nothing like a V8 with a crazy cam. If you guys think that sounds like a V8, you need to get your ears checked
BTW, I think the reason his MEVI is falling is because he has way too much vacuum line. His MAP sensor sits over by the timing chain which makes the system have to pull a lot of vacuum in the line. You need to keep the line as short has possible. It looks to me like he has about 2+' of line. That's way too much vacuum "head" (no not that head). I have about 8-10" of vacuum line operating the MEVI system. Here's his system:

YO!@!!!!! hahaha, second video I was a little dissappointed at first cause the dam car sounded like them 8 second ugly domestic cars where the exhaust sounds like it keeps burping but when u did that final rev, BOYYY!!! NO RICE SOUND, sounded like all power like WOAH!!!!!! I wish my car sounded like that! What did u rev up to when it made that nice a$$ sound?! it sounded like turbo or supercharger before the BOV kicks in but way better
P.S. - why does the car sound like an old domestic 9 second car before the revs?

I really wonder how the engine would be with these cams plus boost. I know the SR20 guys run JWT cams and boost with HIGH gains. It does not say that the cams are strictly NA. We all know our motors are not built to run boost 10:1 compression, but we do anyway with great gains...I dont think it would hurt to boost. With older V8's you can run wild cams and blowers with no problems.
Iron Lung: care to try it?

What cam can U get for $65? So far for DOHC V6 and V8 engines cams are in the $900-1200 range. The reason cams are expensive is that new billet cams are $200 each from nissan. So figure $800 for new billets and having them reground runs around $100-300 so the price is right.

I bet those S1 cams from JWT would make 20-30whp in a boost VQ. The specs are simular to the S3s for the sr20de and those cams make big power with a turbo. While NA S3/S4s are good for 8-15whp for the sr20de but when boosted gains are typically 15-25whp easy.

I can slam from first to second and if anything I get one jump from the front end and it hooks&goes, no spinning - I'm on all season (400tread rated) stock sized tires w/ ACT.
we need dynos.
I know a well-designed/matched set of turbo cams would give great gains, but the chance of ever seeing those NOTcustom...

From JWT's website:
S1 VQ30DE BILLET CAM SET 256 DEG .415" GROSS LIFT. LASH .013" COLD .016" HOT SLIGHT LOPE AT IDLE (TARGET IDLE SHOULD BE 900RPM). RUNS STRONG FROM 3800RPM ON UP. RECOMMEND RUNNING WITH JWT ECU.

Enjoy! I'll try to get one of his car at idle with his exhaust connected soon.

That setup is way too quiet sounding. His intake sounds exotic, a little farty, but exotic, but the exhaust is really quiet.
And too many factors go into chirping then just power. Driver skill, road conditions, what kind of tires you have, pavement conditions, condition of your clutch and flywheel, and weather conditions.
For instance, it was 50 degrees today here in Florida. I spun into second gear and the rear end broke loose big time, and I barked third. On normal, mid 70 degree days, I usually bark into 2nd and chirp third. Sometimes I won't chirp the tires at all, becuase the road is clean and hot, with perfect weather, allowing me to gain maximum grip.

It's almost like the exhaust tone has moved up an octave. Sweeet sounding...
