Difference between 07-09 Altima/ Maxima motors
Difference between 07-09 Altima/ Maxima motors
I have been slowly getting back into a little research here and there in light of swapping a new motor/trany into my SER...
I have already set sights on an 07 Sentra w/locking differential trany but have not fully committed as I have come across an 06 SER motor and trany with 65,000m for only $1300.
All this to avoid all the extra cash on performance parts w/the task and price of having to swap motor/trany. I have been following Suratt on the .org and have come to believe an 09 or similar Altima motor can be succesfully swapped into my SER. This guy has made a 5.5 gen Max ECU work on an 09 Maxima motor. I know some 07 Altima's were MT but does anyone know if they stopped or are still making Altimas without CVT. Reason I want the 09 is because I am not sure what but I believe there to be differences between the 07-09.
Sura was able to pull 280fwhp out of this swap with some tuning, so you can see my reasoning. The most I got my Alti to with A LOT more mods was 261FWHP so obviously there is a difference. Might just throw some Hi-Flow cats, intake, my custom Y&Exhaust setup, and some updates to my Uprev tuning and I think I could see 300fwhp with A stock, plastic mani, lol...
Any thought, info, ideas will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!!!
