Gauging Interest: 6th gen intake products
Gauging Interest: 6th gen products
Hey guys and gals,
We have just finished up production of our first Maxima intake product for the 3rd and 4th gens (MAF Sensor Housing adapters). http://forums.maxima.org/group-deals...f-adapter.html
We are currently working on prototypes for the 5th gen and are now looking to you to see what intake products you are interested in for the 6th gen.
http://forums.maxima.org/5th-generat...maf-tubes.html
I believe that the MAF sensor in the 6th gen is the same as the 5th gen. If that isn't correct, please let me know.
Given that is true, we'll be able to make full intakes that are not piecemeal like some of the older generations, as well as replacement MAF Sensor housings that would allow you to make your own Forced Induction setup more easily.
HTPerformance is a Designer performance aftermarket parts manufacturing company located in New Hampshire. We aim to produce the highest quality performance parts for your vehicle. We like to work directly with the community during development so that our products better fit the direct needs of the consumer. We are looking for local (New England area) 6th gens that would be interested in helping with prototype testing. We will provide the dyno time for your vehicle and also give you a discount on the final production parts.
Ideas we initially have are the following:
1) MAF Tube for FI systems
2) Cold Air Intake
3) Short Ram Intake
We may incorporate a velocity stack into the intake designs.
Are there any other intake products you'd be interested in?
We'd love to hear your comments and questions to help in the development.
Cheers,
Brian

Nice to always have more options, but I dunno about this one... pretty much everyone here has a Fujita/Injen/Nismo already.
If you get better dyno numbers than the others, I could see this being a great thing...

If you feel our efforts are better spent solving other 6th gen problems, we'd love to hear suggestions for that as well. Great feedback.
Perhaps the 3" ID Tube for Forced Induction is the likely route then, and then we'll look at other problems to solve.

Definately +1... majority has a Fujita... i as one wouldnt get rid of the fujita... thing is crazy but as the other post says.. let us know other products that you could produce...
there was a company that were making bigger Throttle bodies for the 350z , im not sure if thats your neck of the woods.
Bigger throttle body would be nice
Yes we could possibly make a larger TB. I'll have to see how we can integrate the drive by wire though, that is the challenge on this application.
In the past we have done custom turbo kits w/ high-end Stainless tubular manifolds, custom intake manifolds, big brake kits and brake kits for autox, rally, and road racing.
Other ideas?

Big brakes would be good. There are already a few good brake kits, but they are expensive.
What about custom THICK front and rear sway bars?
Custom intake heat shield with short ram intake??? (there are no heat shields for our maxima's.)
Maybe a nice sounding resonator / exhaust setup. something that sounds like a g35.

Are you saying you would make a turbo kit for the 6th gen??id be down for that!!

Sorry OT but Speed Force Racing is the maker of the 6th Gen Turbo kit available for both Manual and AT (I have a 5spd AT with Manual Matic mode), and yes I was the first but there are actually 3 6th Gen Turbo's now, haven't seen the 3rd yet but the second one is up in PA and he should be down for the MAXUS09 meet in June.
For HTPerformance, why don't you come down to MAXUS09 and talk with the 100's of members who will be there and get an idea at what 7th Gens and below have done or want for performance!!!

I don't see why it would hurt if you guys made a true 3" ID intake, whether it be a cold air or short ram. Also, if you guys want, maybe post on nissanclub and see about the altima side of things. I think a 3" ID intake would be a great idea, afaik not even the fujita is 3"ID.
what kind of numbers did it produce on the Altima's?
If we did go with a 3" ID intake, it must:
1. sound better than the Fujita
2. produce the same or higher HP or Touque
3. have a sale price of 189.00 or cheaper. Unless #1 & #2 are better than the Fujita.
anything less or more expensive, you will have a hard time getting current or future owners away from the Fujita. Trust me man.

fyi
speedforce only makes the turbo for the AT at the moment..
testing has not been done on the MT...
i spoke with them and he didnt promise anything but had a timeframe of about six months...
as for HTPerformance, i would definitely be interested in a full 3" intake, i think with the right tuning this could be much of a benefit, only numbers can tell though. i personally dont have an intake yet and bty, i have an 05 SER, but am patiently waiting for a product from u guys. i will be the guinea pig if need be. i was opting for a fujita a while back but the idea of a full 3" intake all the way to the throttle body gained my interest.

Awesome feedback! keep it coming... We just came back from a very exciting dyno day event up here in NH. I was disappointed that no local Maxima's came out. 
But, one thing I can divulge is that our new prototype Ford Focus intake was significantly better than the COSWORTH cold air intake, and if you know Cosworth's reputation and engineering... that is saying something!
Keep the ideas coming, we'll put our heads together and come up with something great!

id say the best bang for your buck is the fujita one.pretty much everyone has one
on the CF parts that would be awesome
If they come out with a 3" intake, I would think anything under ~$225 would net them a fair amount of sales. at least that is just my $.02
just because everyone has one is not best reason to buy one. I am on my third intake for my altima because I made the mistake of buying ones that eveyrone else had. I went from a berk wai, which imo sucked, then a nismo which was decent, and finally ended up with a place racing from cattman that is awesome. So, I wouldn't get one just because everyone else has one.

iam not saying get one cause everyone has one...and let me know when you find an intake with better numbers then the fujita.

IMO unless you're going to increase the throttle body demensions or go boost (Turbo/SC), there would be no added value with a 3" intake for a stock car...

I have a decent one...i think..Many of the 6th gen Maximas have problems with their pre-cats..(breaking apart from the inside) and was wondering if you could make "straight-thru" pre-cat..??(I guess like a pre-cat delete??) Basically, test pipe to remove the pre-cats for the more performance oriented maxima owners..(like me) and to remove the worry of having a piece of the catalyist from going into the motor...if not a pre-cat delete how about a pre-cat HI-FLOW replacement that will render good numbers without breaking the bank....(I kinda of like the more pre-cat delete tho but that's because I am spraying :P) But seriously, this gay pre-cat problem is getting on my nerves and I don't have $600 to shell out for just headers and another $600-800 for installation. Hope you can make something out of this.
