Why? It's not like you could change them w/o serious SB work.

The 02 Max's is .2 higher than the Alty's if I recall correctly 9.5:1 vs 9.3:1. I can't seem to find where I got this information at the moment though.

Re: Re: Compression Ratios

That's odd, becuase I seem to remember the VQ and VE's being at 10:1 compression. I don't think they would lower it 1/2 point.

It may be wrong though. Just want to add that little disclaimer. I couldn't find the information on the web when I looked again. I thought I had seen it somewhere before.

There was another thread on this awhile ago. I think someone said that the 02 Maxima/I35 had a slightly bumped CR up to 10.3:1 and the Altima 3.5 was at 10.0:1

Or maybe that's what it was. I know the Max was .2-.3 higher than the Alty.

Klaus atleast ask good questions...

Firstly, Clee130 is one of the most respectable members of this board - he's a moderator too if you can't see that, so he could lock this thread in a heartbeat. Next, everyone knows that pic is a photoshop, his rear wheels are spinning and its a FWD car (BTW those are not stock wheels either they are 3rd Gen wheels). Lastly, your mod list is very unbelievable, because Iceman does not make an intake for the 5th Gen Maxima, and there is no bodykit available for the 2002 Maxima either. Next time, do more research.

Hey, thanx for the feedback, some useful and some not, my bad to the peeps I responded to in a sh*tty manner. Anyway, my dad is thinking about getting a IS 300 and wanted to know the compression ratios for one. Go figure. - Holla Back Also go ahead and give your likes and dislikes of the IS 300 so I can have some more info.

Well besides the fact that a Maxima can take them out, not many people like them. Check it out for yourself. And then change your profile, it disgusts me. And AEM does not make a intake for the Maxima either. If you're looking for rice products, go here. Put the Expedition in there, atleast you really have it.
