For you maxima guys that dont visit altimas.net here is a little run down about what is happening. We have agreed to fabricate and test an Intake manifold on the VQ35DE, instead of having to pay $900, we are going to be mass producing this item only after we prove its gains. We expect gains similar to the G35/350Z which show 7-15WHP and a peak of 12-20WHP increase in power.

This thread is in response to the people that are interested in purchasing an Altima/Maxima 3.5 V6 Intake Manifold, the projected price of the intake manifold is $495.00-$595.00, and this is a completely new Intake Manifold, not just a plenum, or a stock one with a port job.

SSR, will you need to modify the Altima version (or whichever car the original comes from)to fit the maxima or will it fir the way it is?

 

I'm very interested as long as it will work with the stock intake and the gains are documented.

 

Interested but, would like to dyno numbers before purchasing.

 

I am very interested, as long as the PRICE IS RIGHT

 

i would be in for that if you guys can make it for a 2k2 maxima.

 

Best of luck in getting this off the ground. I'm sure given the shared engine, the Maxima community will welcome this mod, as long as it provides good gains for the Alti guys.

 

Nice. Odd that you mention the Altima forums and then post a rwd engine picture. If you use the same manifold the tb will now point directly forward. Probably not that good. But it seems as long as the main body of the manifold fits, it's a simple thing to use maybe a straight piece.

 

I'll be waiting for an actual product for the 5.5gen Maxima, and dyno results. There's another IM in the works, so we'll see which one performs better I guess.

 

Interested. Lets see how it turns out.

 

...........

 

EWW..... I don't like how it looks but if the gains are true then I'd want one.

 

yeah, i like the look of the 350z intake alot better than that. i rather try to put a 350z one on then buy one.

 

That is our VQ35 RWD Intake Manifold, it's just a picture to show you what the manifold design/look is going to be like, we cannot swap the RWD one directly because it is too tall, we are going to have to make a smaller intake manifold for the Altima/Maxima guys


This is an Interest thread guys, so just assume that positive gains are noted and the price is between $495-$595, would you be interested in purcahsing?

 

I think for me, I would definatly have to see the power gains before making an investment of $495-595. How soon do you think you will be able to bring this out?

 

Once the results are known I would be interested as well.

 

Seems a little steep?

 

Lets say you get 20HP with headers only. Headers cost around the same price as this. Now lest say you put on this new IM and get an additional 20 (with headers)
I think that would be worth it. From what I read at altimas.net, out IMs are very restrictive. So we would see a lot more gains than the 350 guys because theirs arent as restrictive. So if you think about it, its not steep, its in the right price race... Besides, if you get a group deal going, im sure you could get it for a few bucks cheaper anyways. Lets see how the Dynoes go..

 

SSR, what is the update on your turbo kit for the 3.5 maxima? Will this new IM be compatable with your turbo kits?

 

I would like to see the final product but, I'm in I have been looking around for and intake for some time now.

 

so will thos fit on a 3.0 maxima?

 

I'm curious about this as well, and if not are you all developing one for the 3.0 max?

 

Don't forget to add my name in there, I want one too.

 

Even tho I'm not one to be a test guinea pig, i'll watch with gauging interest from here.

 

*bump*... results?

 

this is 1wkidmax i am intrested put me down 2003 se.

 

interesting look...but hood is usally closed... someone try this thing

 

I would definetly be interested. But like everyone i need proof of gains before purchase.

 

I could invest as well.

 

just remember people.. please dont say ur interested if YOU"RE NOT GONNA BUY it!
we;ve had way too many of those bunk people around here. just sit back and watch if thats what u want to do. please. thank you.

 

I agree Killer, but who is going to commit at this very point with no real results and no actual product. As someone mentioned earlier, this is an "interest" thread.

 

good point...but this is for people interested in purchasing... it always happens when its time to pay...then no one comes up with the cash... its nerve racking when ur waiting after you've paid. and makes vendors not want to work with us.

 

killer, do you have a cardomain? Theres no pics on your Hompage and I want to show a friend... Thanks.

 

no i dont...its not updated... im gonna put some pics up maybe tomorrow on my gallery...

 

Well I cannot speak for others, but like I said I am down.
Link if you are on cardomain. I want to look as well.

 

i uped some pics...check my homepage
still gotta add the system tho

 

Thank you....

 

I'm interested

 

put me on that list very serious

 

need to see the gains first and it is ugly thoguh. and why is it that form? why cant it look like a 350z im?
