Is there one? A friend of mine with a 6 spd said there was not and I thought he was high. I want a 6 spd but i was just surprised to hear it. Say it aint so!

 

theres no SC, there is a turbokit tho, ssr engineering makes it, i believe theres talk of an sc tho but only for auto 5.5 gens

 

i wish there was one.

 

there is a company that makes a supercharger for the 02-03 vq35de max, its aqua cooled and i believe the company is named Alpine-Developments. I believe the kit uses an MP90 Eaton Roots type blower with 5psi they believe an extra 60 horses are made easily at the wheels. The best thing is it looks completely stock under the hood and it is i believe c.a.r.b. legal

 

.. Link? Where did you find this info? Price?

 

Exactly, first hearing of this...

 

A quick google search will tell you that no such kit exists. Its only available for the VG30, and the sohc Nissan v6's. Unless you work for the company and know that they're coming out with a kit for th vq35de's, then i'm sorry to break the news.

A couple years back there was a big ruckus about them making an SC for the FWD VQ35 after they made an initial announcement. But to my knowledge, nothing else really came about after that announcement though.

See old thread here: http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....ight=alpine+sc

 

Since when does a SC look completely stock under any hood?

 

whoa..didn't realize i was opening up that big of a can of worms. Apparantly that thread was closed in the middle of '04 and I wasn't able to find the thread they supposedly restarted for it, if they ever did.

Sounds somewhat promising. I mean, come on, the demand is DEFINITELY out there. Only a matter of time i suppose. Guess that'll give me enough time to get my 6spd...ooooh yeahhh..

Will all of the mods that are available for the 5spd 5.5 Gen also work on the 6spd?

Thanks!

 

no such thing as a 5.5 5spd

how is the SSR kit for 5.5? i have heard of a few put-together kits by various shops and small companies, but people had really bad reviews about them.
SSR is a decent company, as far as i know. anybody have anything good/bad to say about their tc kit?

 

Who ever read that last post I deleted, please allow me to put my foot in my mouth one more time. I'm so used to seeing roots-types on carburated engines I forgot to look closely at the blower itself.

 

Don't they make a 3.5 5speed altima though

 

damn. My noobness has been revealed. I had assumed that the 5th gens were 2000 and 2001 with the VQ30DE and the 5.5 Gens were 2002 and 2003 with the VQ35DE engines. That and i also thought they only made the 6 spd in 2002, which is why i assumed to call it a 5.5 gen.

Am i wrong?

Also, my question still stands. Are mods that are made for the 5th gen 5spd compatible with the 6spd?

 

You could adapt a 350z super charger with alot of work and a huge bulge in the hood.

 

That's not all correct but who said you were wrong? Only thing wrong there is that they made 6MT in 03 also.

You were wrong in stating this ..
Because no 5 speed was available in 02/3. But when you state this, do you mean the manual versiopn of the 02/3 or all versions, all parts? There are parts here and there that are compatible. .. just not the S/C...

.
Are you asking or telling? Yes, the Altima has a 5MT mounted to a 3.5L as well as a 5AT.

 

Oh ok, i think i get it. But you're throwing me off saying there is no 5 spd manual in the 02 or 03 (5.5 Gen) Maximas. Are you saying they only make 6MT? Cuz i don't think that's correct. I looked around just to double check and i found plenty of 5spd manual 02 and 03 max's. Maybe you made a mistake or ????? i'm confused now.


anyways.. if in fact there are 5spd 5.5 gen maximas then i was referring to aftermarket parts for that being compatible with the 6spd. Of course the S/C wouldn't be compatible because, as this thread has stated, there is no such thing. Mainly i was wondering about any Cold Air Intakes or ...well crap i dunno, just speaking in generalities..

hope we can clear this up cuz i THINK i want a 5.5 Gen 6spd...lmfao..

Link me ... But there is no 5MT A33B that came out of the factory. Only SE's are available in MT, and 6MT ONLY ... Since you don't believe me, I'll let you TRY and find one(5MT).

Yes CAI's work, because the MAF bolt pattern is the same, suspension parts also work.

 

Hey i'm just askin the questions here. I said i saw many but, i guess when i found one i thought there WOULD be many. Turns out this guy probably is just a douche

guess where i'm not buying my next Max..lol

anyways..this is news to me! Thanks for the info man.

Just one last question though. What's the real difference between a Super and Turbo Charger? Which provides more gain. I was reading one thread about a guy installing a Turbo charger and he gained 125+ hp. SICK! That's it though, that'll give me enough ammo to shoot back at my friend with. He'd be stoked to hear there is a turbo kit for his ride.

Thanks again!

With custom piping and a VQ30 Timing chain cover you could use a Stillen/Vortech kit. You would no longer have variable timing though.

You could also have a custom roots type like Craig Mack tried to. It is not quite as practical since you have a ton of low end torque (something the VQ35 already has) and with FWD you just wouldn't be able to use it effectively. Most people go for SC over turbo for smoother powerband or ease of install and neither really apply here.

3-5th gens: 5 speed manual or 4 speed auto
5.5 gens or 02-03: 6 speed manual or 4 speed auto
6th gens or 04+: 6 speed manual or 5 speed auto

Therefore there was no 5 speed on 5.5gen unless swapped in which would be stupid (different arguement). Let it go. It wouldn't matter if you had MT or Auto anyway for SC.

 

Roots type would require you to relocate your TB. With DBW it would actually make that process somewhat easier. That was the main problem with Craig mack's setup.

 

When you look under a hood of a cobra...

 

Isn't this a Maxima forum

 

Last time i checked it was. But thanks for pointing out the obvious.

 

It's what I'm here for

 

Don't forget that many '04s had a the old 4 speed auto.
