Alright guys I posted a thread about portin and polishing great responses thanx now my otha question is I want my max to goo in terms of acceleration...... so what mods are good for acceleration and take off..... I have an auto and I'm tired of it not jumpin off the line.... the only performance mod would b a cold air intake....

So suggestions.....

And no need to say 5spd swappp I know I know....

 

how about a KS ? i know its not a "mod", but is urs still good ?

y-pipe and the rest of the exhaust gives the maxima the biggest boost for the price - is what many people say

 

I have an o2 code that is goin off and a ks was told that since the o2 went off the ks code is too now does that still affect the ks timing and stuff but anyways I bought a new 1 and I am trying to change but I can't.... so I gotta have a shop do it.... but ne ways another mods for take off on auto...

 

first off ... no disrespect, but READ! the forums are full of things that have been done. it's in there ... just gotta take the time to read and find it all.

if you want acceleration, get a SC ... gotta know that everything is relative to cost, the more you put in, the more your gonna get out.

 

before putting any mods on a car, make sure its maintenance is done

whats the point otherwise ?

yes the KS affects timing, it retards it ( slows it down ) .

02 codes make the car eat more gas and slow it down as well (front o2's, not rear)

why dont u fix all this, see how it pulls and if ure not satisfied then proceed with modding ? this really bugs me that people dont get it, maintenance affects the car. obviously if u got broken sensors its gona drive like a civic HAHA. maintenance should always come first.

 

The maintenance part should be pretty obvious and I know you didn't make this thread for that ranting. So, as the most obvious, cheap, and easy answer to your question GET A Y-PIPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Past there it becomes more costly to make power; forced induction, 5spd swap, 3.5 swap, nitrous, etc.

But please, READ THE STICKYS, they are there for a reason, they all should give you ideas of what to do for what you want.

IBTL.

 

Disregard what's in quotes, but please take the other advice.

Install a stall converter to get that jump.

 

I have to agree with people already posted, you should do some reading because this is asked all the time. It's hard to tell you what to mod because of money. Obviously if money is no issue then go bigger. 3.5 swap, new exhaust, VAFC, OBDII, tune. Adding a high stall tc and new vb would be good for the tranny because it will give you more power but vb's are hard to find and tc's are expensive. They should be done together really. Add a y-pipe, should be first. Then look at what you want to do for money and go from there. If you can find a cheap 3.5 do that. Otherwise, 00vi and VAFC to tune. That's just my advice. For a DD I don't think NOS and SC are worth it just because I have no where around me to use that kind of power. It's all about what you can do and what kind of money you want to dish out.

 

NOS = Brand name. N2O = Nitrous Oxide.

 

Ha thanks for the catch. I'm at work so trying to type without the boss seeing. I meant WBo2. I know about the N20 too just usually refer to it as NOS cause most people think of that and thats what the other guy referred to.

 

So I take it the tc is a tranny cooler but I don't know what the tb stands for..... can u fill me in??? Also where can I get a stall converter

 

If you're asking those type of questions, you need to do more research.


TC is widely confused between Torque converter (high stall) and tranny cooler. Very different items. TB = throttle body.

Here's a F/S (for sale) thread if you're looking to buy.

I was 99.98% sure that's what you meant, just wanted to clear things up.

 

to what NmexMAX wrote. You should do some more research if you are unfamiliar with the terms. A tranny cooler will do nothing for your pick up, it's just to help protect your tranny. High stall TC will transfer more power and the vb (which stands for valve body) will help make the shifts firmer and quicker. Again, you need to research this stuff and figure out what you want to do.

 

Geeeeeeesh thought I was doin research by askin the question....... ddaaaaaammmmmnnnn

 

Would probably hurt you, actually, especially being auto. Stock is best. See the title.

I'm sticking with/adopting NMexMax's principle: "Leave the ends stock and work on everything inbetween."

(meaning leave the intake itself stock and the muffler stock and mod everything that falls in between them).

 

.... hhahahahahah

Yes, as stated before! R E A D !!!! Sorry to keep bustin ballz, but if you read the Sticky that says "read here before posting!" you would know there is a list of terms (abreviations (? spelling) in there and you will understand people when they use code ... like TC = torque conv, like CDG said ... a trany cooler will do nothing for you as far as accel goes. IBTL

 

Yeah I wish I could get my stock intake on...no way with the 00vi parts I'm using. Bends are too extreme.

 

yup, i fixed all that **** and now i get way better gas mileage and performance, and i'm at 164,000!!!!!!! new suspension is next, then rad support repair and new hood. can't wait!!!!

 

I'm using two accordion sections with the stock resonator and a cone filter. I should also mention that the two accordion sections needed some extra help staying together. Putting the stock air box back on essentially ends up requiring two 90º bends to get from the resonator the throttlebody.

I have another trick up my sleeve to get an air box and snorkel back on, but, for now...just the stock resonator alone made a huge difference for me vs. a straight midpipe. Power delivery is much smoother (especially in the midrange) and with having an auto tranny it just had a huge positive effect.

 

Yeah I have a big bend with the maf and stock resonator. I'll keep the stock resonator no matter what but trying to put the top of the air box back on and create a legitimate bend did not work. I figured having 2 90 degree bends would be just like having a different intake.
