I know that there are a few 4th gen guys that Extrude hone thier OEM Manifolds and reported postive gains.

I was just wondering if the same could be said for the VQ35 Intake Manifold.

Bump Bump....

 

go for it. It will help but the horsepower per $$$ is bad. Extrude honing a manifold is $600-$800 dollars depending on the manifold.

It looks like a VQ35 fwd manifold and elbow would be $749. It might make 5 or 10 hp, but the price is steep.

 

Thanks for the input, I had no idea that the pricing was so high.

Ya gotta pay to play.

 

After looking at my intake manifold several times and talking w/ some other org members, we may have figured out that the secret sauce manifold may not be so secret anymore.

I will post pictures of mine when i get done with it. Of course i have to get the car running first

 

Cams in? ???

 

it's a pretty easy mod. All you really have to do is look. SR20DEN just has a bit of, how you say, COMMON SENSE.

 

Yea i never could figure it out till i looked in my manifold. I then thought about how i remembered reading about people removing the VI rod out of their 2000 vi to increase peak power due to the increase in air volume.

 

Im pretty sure I know the basis of the modded IM. i just cant find any pics of the inside. I remember Jime posting a thread on the other boards about it was obvious with pics but I cant find it. Does anyone have pics of the inside of the IM they can share?

 

And no one ever really questioned or considered why I stopped making them.

Also, due to the selfishness of certain .org members, and advice from those exact same people, I won't be posting future mod lists. Just dyno sheets only.

It's a good thing those people are just dealing with the very old stuff.

 

That's fine.. You aren't the only one trying out new things. Stop trying to make yourself sound special.

 

And one of them speaks. Trying what? Who are you stealing from now?

 

Who says i'm stealing from anyone? or even trying anything?


If you look at my sig, I've moved on to a different platform:yawn:

 

Selling something in the classifieds that you didn't actually have.

Then I suppose you don't need to be here anymore.

 

Maybe I'm missing something here. Refresh my memory.


There are a handful of members that regular this forum that don't drive Maximas.......

 

subscribing...interested in knowing if the extrude honed would work for our manifolds

 

Leave the drama for your mamma.

Matt, this is OT, but I know you used to have alot of nissan files(fsms and stuff). Do you have an updated version of FAST?

 

O RLY? People waited eons for your secret sauce manifold that you never sold.

Pot calling the kettle black. You're the one being selfish by not telling people how you are getting the power you're getting. Even if the secret was out, people would still pay to have their IM modified. Some would do it on their own.

Why do you even post here on the org? You don't share any information. All you seem to do is brag about your dyno sheets and timeslips.

 

What about honing my dek manifold?

 

Don't take this the wrong way, but do you really expect people not to do something just because you said not to? IMO there is nothing wrong w/ people spreading the info on SSIM since you will not sell it. I tried on several occassions to buy one from you and you would not sell it to me. I was going to get it one way or another, but it would have been better for you if you had just sold it to me. You honestly cannot get mad at people for doing this themselves when you don't even sell the product to anyone.

It is like you are trying to rub your mods in peoples face. "look what i got and you cant have, na na na na"

 

Your PM box was full last night when I tried to give you the explanation.

 

I dont have FAST.

 

Some beta testers did.


Is it my fault people have ignored all of the MORE important posts I have made. I can't MAKE people read the information I give them. I can't MAKE people pay attention. And you're saying I am selfish because of ONE thing that I refused to disclose? Which wasn't as important as some of the things people chose to ignore.

And I will alow the ignorant to assume that. It's not like it's a secret where the search button is. Everything you've ever wanted to know about ALL my mods is right there. People need to stop making such a d@mn big deal about the stupid manifold and put more effort into other things.

 

I was just wondering about this myself. I'm sure some people have done it already. Would it be crazy to try and to something like this with a dremel?

 

................

 

All this "secret mods" BS is something a bunch of women would do. If someone has information which increases the performance of our cars he should share it. Is that not what this forum is about?

 

If people don't want to share their mod list, they don't have to. last time I checked, there weren't any forum rules that stated this. There are plenty of pioneers on the org that won't share anything because we have a ton of leeches.

 

Take this back and forth BS off the forums....

or the vactions will begin...

have a nice day

 

Get on it Bags!

You tell these people this isn't the, "Key Club" of Maxima.org High School.

 

Noted. Another person who can't read.

 

Is that all you do?

 

If you would try looking arouind and reading. Instead of complaining like the rest of the leeches, then yes.

 

Damn yall done pissed him off and made him bump thread. Lazy foo's...

 

Waiting for mods to relocate some very old, ignored, threads here.

 

So like is any helpful info going to come out of this thread or can I just or can I just forget about it.

 

read and think dont just read.

Extrude honing is hella expensive and not worth it. You'll get a lot more mileage by getting headers or a EU and tuning for the same money.

 

Can I guess that "old" not only refers to the intake but to teh method of changing ign timing?

 

Every thread I just bumped is relavent.
