i want more power in my car cuz the auto is too slow. what can i do to improve this? my parents already ordered a budget y pipe, frankencar intake, and hyperground system as Christmas presents. what else shoud i do. i want to stay NA and dont feel like changing to stick. i mostly want to get rid of the huge lag in low rpms.

 

well first mistake was the frankencar...its more of a mid-to-high range intake. The best low end power giver is a true cold air intake. Then an under drive pulley would help too.

 

sweet, you go to Brookfield High? Anyway, check for ecu codes, mostly the knock sensor ghost code. Run the diagnostic test. You should have an abundance of low end power, so I'm figuring the ks is shot...

 

Your KS is probably shot. . .like the other guy said, also try an ECU

parents hooking you up........you spoiled as.s

 

Damnnnnnnnnnnnnnn, I'm lucky if I get a videogame or suttin lol, but you should look into the Group Deal Forum for a Cat Back. I'd recommend Apexi WS, but some prefer the Greddy SP2 or even others. Just read up and decided on what you'd like, or listen to sound clips and video clips of certain ones with certain intakes, midpipes and y pipes. Also, there's a GD goin on for ECU. It's said JWT is the best, but takes long to do and ship back, so there's the only other option of Technosquare, which I believe is a little bit cheaper and they're alot quicker with shipping the product back to you.

By the way, how much did they pay for the Budget Y?

 

Supercharge it and get it over with. Forget NA

 

thnks guys, yeah i think i should get a new KS. my car has 71,000 miles on it so its probably time. Lou, yep i go to brookfield high. damn does that place suck but i could deal with it. I actually used to go to Canterbury.

 

NmexMAX,

yeah thats pretty true i admit being spoiled. its pretty funny thoug cuz my dad almost like my car better than his BMW which is kinda sad. so he doesnt mind getting me car parts. id glady trade my maxima for his 330xi.

btw how dio you do that quote editing?

 

from what ive learned the midpipe takes away everywhere. Bad mod

 

I think they said it was 195 shipped. Im pretty sure lssexhaust sells them now but they are owned by BUdget

Does technosqaure include the raised rev limiter, or no? I know JWT does.

 

I've seen one dyno comparison, PM me for the results if you want, and only saw high (6k+) power added over a CAI vs bolting the filter on the end of the MAF instead the end of the tubing through the fender.

 

Yeah i dunno about the mid-pipe taking away anything, i can't say it has any noticable gains but certainly no detriment to getting more air into the engine quicker than stock box

 

3.5 Bottomend = Low End Torque

 

hmmmmm....that would be an ultimate sleeper, specially since i have no exterior mods besides clear bumper lights and clear tails. maybe in the future. id prolly get too many tickets tho, but the cops couldnt catch me j/k
lol

 

Just curious, what are you charging for that these days?

Would it be possible to just buy an engine you've done the swap on and have a mechanic swap it in without it being any more difficult than a regular VQ30de for VQ30de swap.

What kinda gains did you end up dynoing on your GFs car?

There's no way I'd be doing this now, but maybe someday.

 

2k installed
1.5k built and shipped ready to install like OEM replacement

 

Sounds pretty good. I'll keep you in mind when (if) my engine dies. Do you rebuild the rest of the engine or use only low mileage engines or anything like that, or is it just the luck of the draw on reliabilty?

 

i raced a 330i in my 97 maxima stick, im all stock, he smoked me man. but i know on the parkway i would have paced him untill my limiter kicked in.

 

um NO. he would have smoked you on the highway also dude. the 330 is not slow

 

The ECU is for the earlier model 95-97? I think... Or else your gonna have a sweet yellow light starin' at you while you drive..... They dont have one for 98....

 

Theyre about to have one for a 99, last I heard. Hhehee. A good low-end mod would be a udp, I think. Get a 00vi for all around power, then get the 3.5 bottem end, with a dek top. drop a ECU in dat and a z32 maf, then get an allmighty turbo and you have your self a beast

 

Doesn't the Vq35 swap raise the compression pretty high?

High compression+FI=bad

 

Alright hopefully sometime soon i will get a udp from CustomMaxima (just found out they only 10 minutes from mi casa) and about the 00vi, is that the MEVI or no? im clueless. where can i buy one and how much? thanks ever1 for all the info.

 

11.5to1 definitly not boost friendly

I get low mileage bottomends and throw resurfaced heads on. Mileage on heads is no biggy considering the only wear item is valve guides and seals. I do put the best looking heads on i have(i have about 5 sets layin hear not inc complete motors).

 

what is 00vi ? im a newb in that area and missed the talk on it.

 

maybe VI off a '00?
