ported and polished with turbo
Does any one on here have ported and polish heads.I was wondering how much of a gain could I exspect from that? Ok I know some of you have ported intakes how much did you get out of that? And do you get a noticeble gain from the ported throttle body?Thanks for help. Just trying to keep think and doing thinks to the max

this is our intake manifold:

ours is the VG30E so about the only thing similar to the VG30DE(TT) engine is the block. main things we can swap from the TT are the pistons and rods and with some machining the crank. other than that nothing else swaps, to my knowledge.
our best bet for a good intake is the earlier pathfinder manifold. i'm going to attempt putting on which will flow a bit better and has a single tb that can be upgraded to the 60 mm 240sx unit. other than that we don't really have very good intake options. i think with some machining the pathy intake could fit really well but i'll know in a few days whether or not its possible.

Wow that is interesting. I never would have thought that that Z would have a worse IM than the Maxima. The 3rd gens are newer so i guess nissan tried to improve the design. I really don't know a lot about 3rd gens so excuse my ignorance. Good luck getting the Pathfinder IM to work.

yeah, the Z manifold is an older design and you can tell by just looking at it that its a pretty bad design.
comparing the vg30e of the Z31 and 2nd gen maxima to the vg30e of the third gen maximas, there was a bit higher torque output in the third gen than the older maxima and Z. the main differences between the two are the intake manifold and exhaust manifold.
