let's hear it...

my current project - get my ghetto adjustable FMU tuned and figure out what causes the high EGT....

my future plan - water injection, S-AFC and get a cat-back system to complete the exhaust.


wishlist : larger injectors......

 

Was gonna go turbo....but now am staying supercharged. I crave power, so will probubbly intercool and will definately tune.

 

I just finished making an adapter plate for a Pathfinder throttle body, so right now I'm working on getting that installed. I'm probably going to take the mevi off in order to match port it with the TB, so I'll be putting the USIM back on temporarily.

I'm also working on a modified intake pipe setup that ought to be a little less restrictive than the Stillen setup. Details later, it should be interesting.

In the near future, I'm putting Z32 injectors in, along with a JWT ecu and a Z32 maf. The Z32 maf will have to go before the SC inlet, so I'm working out the details related to that.

Longer term projects planned are a Cattman header/y-pipe and 3" cat back with Flowmaster muffler.

After all that, it's time to think about a Quaife.

Then, if I win the lottery or my son decides he wants to join the Army instead of going to college, I'm building an engine and going turbo.

 

Pathfinder TB as well, 550 cc injectors, JWT/something ECU/computer, New y-pipe, new down pipe, new exhaust, New turbo, some stuff that I have yet to figure out, trying to get 12 PSI, aiming for 400 WHP/TQ

Thinking about 245/40 19 's thinking traction and "stance"

 

Well with about 12000 saved up. Im just waiting to get back to the world to do a auto to manual conversion and the good ole hairdryer to the engine bay. Im gonna spend about 10,000 on the maxima and the extra I have left, which after this deployment will be about 8000 will go to mymnext project, SE-R drag. Hey gotta still rep the nissan camp and destroy the VTEC badge

 

Current plan - 3.125" pully, 370cc injectors, SAFC, dyno. Gonna tune it "Mardi Style" as there is no ECU option for me.

Next up (spring?) - Intercooler. Haven't decided between a FMIC or AWIC, but right now I'm leaning towards a FMIC.

 

Built Level 10 Tranny with custom LSD (it's never been done before)
8.5:1 CR pistons from SGP Racing (already ordered)
Custom weight matched lightweight forged connecting rods (ordering next month from Pauter Machine)
Custom turbo kit of the T04B nature (still dunno exactly...too many choices)
Stand alone engine control system (FAST or something like it...still researching)
FMIC and appropriate piping
18x8" Volk GT-7's (maybe gunmetal) +38mm offset for the street and 16x8" TE-37's for the track

That's enough damage for one year...

 

My current project is rebuilding the entire turbo kit, which is 95% done.

What I did was ceramic coat all the exhaust piping except the downpipe. Made new Intercooler piping, new silicone couplers, new Tbolt clamps. Removed the steel brake line as the oil feed for turbo and put in a 6an braided line inplace with AN fittings. Re-did the fuel hoses with braided lines and AN fittings. Moved MAF over to intake side.

Also ordered a Big Brake kit will be here in two days. Also ordered a Carbon Fiber hood which will also be here soon.

So I think that enough for me for now.

Next plans are to go 5spd as soon as I smoke up my auto tranny.

Dixit

 

GT series BB turbo upgrade (been waiting for months to put on)
Larger injectors 370CC (really need 440CC or bigger)
Emanage first followed by standalone a little later
Big brake upgrade (waiting for months for the right parts)
Rods and pistons (shelved for now)
Electric cutout
Alcohol injection system

 

gutting everything from front seats back
remove all radio components
put orange corner lights back in
get rid of 18's
drag slicks
new low mounted turbo with sump setup
Remove all AC components

garret GT3035R turbo (on order)
Emanage (have)
Larger Injectors (have)
pistons and rods (on order... should be here soon... hint hint hint haha)
quaife LSD (have)
cryotreat gear stacks (nothing yet)

I would also like to ditch my ****ty cattman coilovers for some JIC magic and get at least one racing seat, because leather + turns = no good...

F*CK SHOW, all go

 

2.87" Pulley
300Z TT Injectors
JWT SC/300z Injector programming
Aquamist
NOS 5124 Kit with 36hp jet
J&S Safeguard
Switch out S-AFC for Fields SFC

Then next year I scrap it all and go Turbo, after everyone else works out all the issues.

 

Current project:
- blow up motor when new motor is ready (or swap with another stock motor)

Future project:
- blow up motor when new motor is ready

 

Some serious R&D work going on here...

 

Simple stuff
- Finish NX install (just need to connect the nitrous line and fill up bottle)
- GReddy Emanage (?)
- still searching for larger injectors (don't want to use additional injectors)


More complicated stuff
- Full motor build up
- AWD conversion








































Just kidding on the AWD conversion.

 

My tranny is built with posi-trac

current project
vq30det pistons
heavy duty valve springs
get rid of the safc-2 and get a greddy emanage
larger injectors want 555 but can only afford 370.
changing to intrax springs.
walbro fuel pump
sard fpr
14-18lb spring and manual boost controller


then blow up the new engine since that just my luck!!!

 

You have traction control, or you have a limited slip diff? If you're an auto with LSD (and a stock US market Maxima), then you're right...you'd be the first. I've never in my life heard of another auto WITH LSD...

 

I have 100% limited Slip in my car, its a custom differential made by NRH Transmissions in md. My tranny is fully built with kevlar clutch bands and high stall converter as well. knight Rider has the same tranny as mine

He actually posted everything thats in the tranny about 3 months ago in this post

http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....ght=nrh+kevlar

Maxnout has the same tranny too.

 

Well SOAB...I never even heard of those guys and the work they did on their tranny's (or you, for that matter). Very well, I'll be the first drive by wire '02-'03 3.5L Maxima to have this done. How do you like your tranny then? PM me with all the details. I don't want to uselessly clutter this thread...

 

He did use a GFORCE ECU though..

 

I wish Matt would chime in more often than he does, but if you read his writeup on his webpage he says that he put the GFORCE on about 2 weeks after he had already installed the 370 injectors and gotten the car running.

 

Speaking of ecu's, guess what showed up today...

 

He didn't use the ECU to control fuel for the Z injectors.

 

Is your MAF/Recirc setup ready?

Excited?

 

Almost.

Oh yes.

Now if I can just convince the wife that repainting the game room can wait another week...

 

I plan to run 13's on my automatic w/3.33" pulley this upcoming Saturday. We'll see what happens (weather permitting).

 

What's that mean?

 

I have a Blitz DD bov, and it doesn't have a suitable way to attach a hose to it. I need to fab a piece of pipe with a flange that I can bolt up to the bov outlet. Once that's in place I can run a 3/4" hose back to a molded rubber piece off of a Z32 that I'm using to connect the maf to the blower inlet.

 

- This Month

Vortech V1 Supercharger

Then I'll start saving for a new engine.

 

my current project is to get this "supercharger" hooked up to my car somehow





actually i'm just trying to get my car running right now. Once I do I plan on keeping it near stock while building up my original engine for some big power.
