how do u get more horsepower?

i have an 2002 infiniti i35 and i want more horsepower. i currently have a injen cold air intake and a 2.5' custom exhaust with a apexi ws2 muffler.

future mods:
Unorthodox pulley
jet performance chip
sun hyper voltage system MR
Tein H spring
Hawk performance brake pads
Powerslots rotors

What mods do any for your 02-03 maximas? can anyone give me advice on how to get more horsepower. Do they make a turbo for an 02-03 maxima?

you are wasting your money on both the jetchip and voltage system. buy headers and an afc to tune with. that will be your best bang for the buck besides nitrous. you may also want to consider converting your injen to a short ram or purchase a true cai. you could also get better acceleration by going to lighter weight wheels.

Cattman or Hotshot.

Headers Sticky is your friend:

It will be louder with the WS2, but that's the price you pay for more power. Or you can try to find a quieter muffler.

future mods:
Unorthodox pulley good mod
jet performance chip waste of money
sun hyper voltage system MR not really necessary
Tein H spring
Hawk performance brake pads these three items don't really add power
Powerslots rotors

That's debateable.

It's good for 1-2 HP TOPS. If any at all. Not going to debate it here, if you disagree take it to one of the many UDP threads posted previously.


Anhhuy, it all depends on how much $$ you're going to drop. Determine your pre-set spending limit, that will help detemine your best mod.

From the looks of those wheels, they look like they weigh a ton. (couldn't find specs on them though) Any performance mod you do to your car can quickly become null and void by adding heavy wheels. Just food for thought.
