Wow.....I felt like I was driving a turd when I got back in my car
Of course it was a lot faster than mine, the torque steer wasnt bad....I just wasnt used to it. When you're stompin on it, you get up to 100+ SOOO fast....it's freakin insane. Makes you think about how good of a motor the VQ is once you feel some power.

 

Was it auto or manual? That's why I only drive slower cars - to keep me thinking that I drive a fast one.

 

nice makes me want one even more.... damn you lol

 

You say 10psiSC. Was it supercharged or Turbocharged???

 

SC... SuperCharged

 

SC=supercharged

if i understand correctly

 

nice.....i want to drive a boosted vq

 

i drove jdmmax's maxima.. that thing is insane.. and i didnt push it much.. it was a blast to drive, hopefully my max will feel the same as his when i have a SC..

 

Boosted maximas are fun. Everyone should get one

 

Donations are welcome...by the way, can you make a couple of vids when you take the beast out???

 

what do the stillens produce for boost????? how much psi?

 

ABOUT 6 psi

 

can it be uped to 10 or would u need a turbo?....and what company's make turbo "kits" foor ur cars.........not to familiar with turbos.

 

i wanna boost my auto

it would be one hell of a cruiser, automatic VQ running about 6 pounds....i'd never even push it, roast people without even redlining it

after seeing brandon's i might have to look into this, and begin gathering parts; SC all the way

bijan who did you find around here to let you drive their baby lol


i just want gauges hahahhahaha

 

You guys need to go to the FI forum to get your answers. But for a quick answer to a question, the smaller the pulley the more boost it gives thus more horsepower. I think the Stillen kit comes with a 9psi pulley, so if you want to get more boost, just change the pulley. But it doesn't end there, the bigger the boost the more you have to do to make sure that the engine will be up to the task such as bigger injectors, fmu, etc.

Correction: stock pulley is 3.6" - 7psi

 

let me sum it up for everyone. the faster your car is, the more stuff you break...

 

i love driving with the s/c everyday. everyone should get one.

14 psi soon to come.

 

'

11psi V1 Plate, V2 Blower...

 

supercharged maximas are always fun I got to ride in one that was in snellville.

 

Nice!!!!!!! Someday, my engine will be like that. Give it til the end of the year......I'm going for 10psi, upgraded injectors, and fuel pump so that I can go smaller on the pulley later on. I'll just do a JWT ECU with a s/c program. That's probably around $3-4k right there. That might be a radical guestimate.

 

i envy the owner of that car

 

Wow...someone envys me ...

Im waiting for warm weather and my 370's, MAF, and JWT will be going in...there sitting in my room on the floor waiting to go in...as for my brakes, they go in first (Brembo slotted, Axxis Ultimates, SS lines..also sitting on my room floor)

-matt

 

Are you going with a Pathfinder MAF? I'm getting the 370cc as well, well its in the shopping list. If you don't mind me asking, how much did the injectors, MAF, and JWT cost you?

 

hhm how much does it cost again for a sc? a vortech one goes for about 2500 right?.

lol the guy who did my oilchange could put it on for me lol

 

nice i bet u cant wait to see the results after injectors, maf and ecu

so right now you have mevi install without jwt

 

Hey you got NOS???!!! The SC is around 3k brand new.

*Edit*

I just went to Stillen.com, check it: http://www.stillen.com/Sportscars_de...id=3154&page=1 .

 

boost is the only way man! bijan glad you liked it...did you drive brandons?

...moneyshot!!...

 

Stillen SC kit is $3750.

 

Injectors = $275
MAF = $120
JWT = $620

 

Boost is like a drug you got to have it. I want to try something new that I see very few people try, a small shot of Nitrous and boost. I had my NO2 bottle sitting in my garage for 2 years and had not had a chance to install it. My nitrous junky buddy left the maxima community

 

did you put the SC back on your car Jaime?

--and yes boost if fun

 

oh yeh baby,im running 9lbs of boost and 50 shot does wonders for the blood.

 

thats all you run? and it puts your auto in the 12s? I figured you were running the 3.125 pulley.

 

your correct cardana, with that run i used the 11lb pulley and 60 shot. i reduced the pulley after i blew. since im into this 1/4 mile thing i figured 9lbs of boost and a higher shot would give me better times without everyday wear and tear of a smaller pulley.

 

Hal's tc'd maxima was running 10psi with 50 shot of NOS (I think) and he's at 400whp. He probably sold his Maxima already but that monster took out a boosted Mustang no problem! He's running stock engine internals and racing clutch. Being in that car is like being in a rocket ship. It's amazing what turbo will do at the same boost over a supercharger.

 

I agree that boost is nice. But your argument is flawed a little (by just listing Hals power numbers)....how many motors has Hal blown?

 

I've had some conversations with him, his intent was to see how much power he can feed the VQ before it reaches it's limits. He intensionally pushed the VQ until failure. He had hook ups for replacement engines so he is able to do this beyond anyone's imagination even.

 

I understand that, I just don't want people reading this who do not know who Hal is to assume everything went off without a hitch. Mardigras is faster and is still on the stock motor

 

I read about Mardigra's maxima, but never seen any of his race videos. I have 3 of Hal's race videos and my favorite is when he put away that boosted Mustang. I don't remember if Mardigra's has NOS, correct me if I'm wrong but isn't he running 14psi or something?

*Edit*

I'm wrong, I'm drooling over MardigrasMax's website right now. This man is more insane!

 

and dont forget mardigras is supercharged and runnin less juice for all u turbo lovers
