need help?
Ok dont get this all twisted. Im not looking for peoples advice on should i do this or that.Iam asking someone to help me build my maxima to get the power im looking for.I have 96 auto(wish was 5spd)and im looking to have a goal of 360ftwhp and 340tq.I wanted peoples help on what i should be buying to build up my car to push out the power im looking for.
Why couldnt i mod my auto with it and use tranny cooler or whatever.IF its necessary for that power then i guess ill be saving up for a 5spd swap for next summer.Cause if i have to do that then ill end up doing the swap right before i gets the super charger.Also i dont want to t4 turbo my car...wanted to before but its to much work and too many problems.

Your power goal is much more easily attained with a turbo than a supercharger, but it's do-able with both, certainly.
Well ok at first i wanted 450hp but it just seems to far out of my reach.And with a supercharger its bolt on and if i use the right blower i can acheive my goal of 350-360hp and 320-340 tq. And the reason why i wanted that power is to show mustangs and all those beefy mustangs what their moms sedan can do.And just ot have fun with some boosted civics.But also doing some thinking and its personally what i want.So its more about what i want out of my car for myself then for impressing my fellow tuners
Sounds like you have your mind fairly made up already then, and the .org has a search function, so what do you want us to tell you?
I'm not trying to be a jerk, I honestly want to know what it is you want us to tell you. You already know you want a supercharger, and there are already paths laid out to get to your desired power level with a supercharger.

Thats what i mean,like what injectors do i need,spark plugs,blower,cooling system,engine management,fuel lines,pumps,like i mean i need to know everything that you would need to run it without blower motor or friing anything.And tatanko i didnt start the thread for someone to make up my mind(also not trying to be a jerk).I started this becuase i know the basics of what to buy but you guys know best products and things i would need to reach my goal because some guys on this forum have gotten close to,almost exact and even surpassed the power i wanna reach.Also i know i need 3" exhaust.
s/c kit, bypass/blowoff valve, Z32 MAF, 555cc injectors, sard fpr, fp gauge, wideband o2, emanage ultimate, smaller s/c pulley, 3" exhaust system, headers, 255lph walbro fp, colder plugs, boost gauge, 00vi ... theres probably a lot more but thats the basics I can think of off the top of my head... and also like said earlier, 5 speed would be better... auto prbly wont last long at this much power...
Thanks man,um yea iam 5spd swaping.thats why im doing this next summer.Im storing my car so i dont lose money on insurance and gas also wear and tear repairs.so ill basically have 9 or 10 gran for next summer.One thing i have a full complete mevi kit right now but im selling it because its going to make my auto slower if i puts it on and its kinda pointless.kinda thinking i should keep it.
We all want gobs of horsepower, but it doesn't come quick, easy, or cheap. Hitting 360 HP is still a very tall order. Look in the " Boosted List and Dyno results" thread and you'll see that not many have even broken the 300 HP mark. My point I'm trying to make is this.... no one buys all the goodies to hit 360 HP (theoretically), installs everything, and is done. If something is wrong, do you realize what a troubleshooting nightmare you will have? You gotta start slow and easy. Get a SC and install it. After all is good, then upgrade, piece by piece. Come back to the org, read up, then read some more. Trying to plan this far ahead will only hurt your brain and your wallet.
But, if all you're looking for is the general list of mods to get (or should I say look forward to), then Trialt pretty much hit it on the head. All I would like to add is that you will need the smallest pulley available, a 2.87 (or even smaller with a 2.62), a smaller disc in your FMU (to be determined by trial and error along with reading a wideband a/f gauge and reading the datalogs of the Emanage Ultimate), a properly sized aftercooler or intercooler to drop those extremely hot temps down and prevent detonation, and a hell of a transmission and Stage II clutch (if and when you go 5spd).
Oh, and the MEVI is good, while the 00vi is great. You're only losing a little mid-range power with the MEVI, but gaining up top. Good for those nice long highway pulls....
Hope this helps some.

Well i guess ill have to see what happens.Do you think my stock auto tranny with a tranny cooler could hold up to a supercharger at 10 psi,Also im guessing if i got the supercharger i would need more then just that for 10 psi right? Im thinking right off the bat i need better injectors.Yeah sometimes i get ahead of myself.But i do plan on getting a vortech kit next summer.I can just bolt that on a go right? then upgrade everything else later?Thanks for all the help.I think too much and try to do to much the one time and my brain or my wallet cant handle it.
