I have a 99 I30t and i am going to rip the motor and and somewhat build it up. I want to make a sleeper. Does anyone know where i can find some performance/aftermarket pistons, rods, cams, etc...? Anything would be appreciated. Thanks

 

There aren't any. You need to have them custom made.

 

you can make it a sleeper without any need to build the motor. My 5spd I30 was good for 14.1's and 99mph traps with 4 bolt on mods. If you want to make it a real sleeper you can go FI and run 400hp and 400lbs of tq safely with the engine management. No reason to tear the motor down and build it unless your looking for a 600+ hp

 

what are your mods? I assume FI is fuel injected? How much power do you think i can get out of it just playin' with it on the dyno? (tuning it)

 

FI is forced induction, as in Turbo charger or Super charger. there is no direct turbo kit for our cars, but stillen makes a supoercharger that ive heard good things about.

 

Yeah i saw that but was hoping a turbo set up might be a bit cheaper.

 

you can probably expect to pay nearly $6k for a turbo, but the superchargers are around $3.5-4k i believe.

 

we have cam and valvesprings and retainters available.

 

turbo-kits.com

 

FI=forced induction.

My mods were JWT ECU, MEVI, y-pipe, intake...just bolt-ons.

How do you plan on tuning it on a dyno without any fuel management system? There is nothing to tune on our cars unless you have the ability to burn a new chip on a daughter board or you install an SAFC. But even with an SAFC you not gonna see much on a naturally aspirated stock maxima/I30. So no you can't get anymore power by "playing" with it on a dyno. There are some cars you can do that with, not a maxima/I30

There is a turbo kit available for our cars. The PFI kit, which is around 5K I belive for a fairly complete kit. I am almost done buying parts to turbo my car but I am going to be spending about $3000.

 

simplest way to make a fast sleeper that would look stock too would be just to get a ypipe, JWT ECU w/ rev limiter, Intake, 00vi, VQ35DE bottom end.

 

performance? price?? more info please.. thanks

 

ok thanks for the info

 

I found this turbo on turbo-kits.com I was wondering how much power i would get at the wheels. Also what kind of boost numbers would it be??? Thanks. Also, how adjustable is the boost and what is the max i can go without hurting the internals.. Thanks again

 

if u get a boost controller ur boost adjustment is very flexible....but i dont remember how high of boost u can run safely.....it also all depends on engine management and how well tuned ur car is....the better tuning the higher boost u can run safely and most effectively.......for example......someone running on 12 PSI can be slower and lower dyno numbers than a 7 PSI car with excellent EMS and tuning..its all the $$$$....if u want to stay NA....invest in the 3.5 bottem-end with 3.0 top end.....or do research into the entire 3.5 swap using 3.0 ECU.....there are plenty of options just do some research

sorry here are the facts

 

for turbo info go to the turbo/supercharger forum and youl find all the answers. but for the cam info...http://www.jimwolftechnology.com/customer_results.asp
JWT has alot of performance stuff for us. those cams should be paired with their ECU witch is prob the best one out for our cars. from what i heard the cams are Nice from mid-high range, but the lack in the low-end.

 

Doesn't sound like you know much about turbocharged cars. No offense, but turboing a factory NA car can be a big undertaking and if you don't know what your doing or how the whole thing works your in for a rude awakening. I would suggest not trying to turbo or SC your car at this time until you gain much, much more knowledge about it.

 

honestly, i am not an expert at this but do not some about turbos and sc's. I wouldn't do it myself. I would have someone do it for me.

 

That can be even worse. When boosting a factory NA car or even modding factory boosted car you are going to have to constantly be aware of things. Boost leaks, fuel pump problems, spark issues.....the list goes on. If you don't know about your setup or how to maintain it you will be constantly taking your car in to the shop and that will get expensive really quick.

 

I like his mevi and ecu

 

hampster in a wheel, 20+hp right there

 

adding jet engines seems to be the most efficient way to gain power. just bolt one on to the roof, or if money isnt a problem one on each side (if you add wings you might be able to fly)
