I plan to add a nitrous oxide set-up next January or so, but the car has 184,000+ miles on it. I'm considering a build-up to prepare for the juice, including an overbore, forged pistons and con rods, and other related goodies. Any comments/suggestions? Thanks as always.

 

Big-a$$ fuel pump, bigger injectors, new ECU programming and colder plugs.

You don't want it running lean.

The biggest problem is detonation (pre-ignition) which kills the pistons, rods and crank.

 

remember, the VQ is an open deck block, so overboring must be done very carefully.

 

what does open deck mean?

thaks for the pic, so open is a different type of gasket setup?

 

no wonder no one does the old overbore job for maximas
