The_buster Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 on the maxima.org forum there is a swap for 4th gens that seems fairly easy and cheap for a first mod for me. You take the intake manifolds, iacv, egr tube guide, fuel rail and injectors, rear valve cover and coil packs, and throttle body, all from a 2000 maxima. my question is would these parts be ok from a junkyard or would it be better to try to get some if not all new? This is not going to be something I tackle for another year, just to make sure the car is going to hold up. Here is a link to a site explaining everything as well as a parts list. They disabled the drag and copy function or I would have posted it in here. http://tatanko.boredmder.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_buster Posted January 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 im not going to mod it like crazy, and we are both going to school so we can afford to help the kids education. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossle Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 What exactly do you gain from it? Not aware of the swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_buster Posted January 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Better acceleration, more hp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossle Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Two questions. 1. How are you going to tune it? 2. How/ where are you getting a IACV block plate, or throttle body adapter? Each of the EIGHT methods require either tuning, custom parts, or 're drilling the lower plenum. Awful lot of custom work for an unspecified gain, I didn't catch any factual data of gain.

The_buster Posted January 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 That's why this is a future mod so I can get everything lined up then do it. I was thinking contacting slow-motion for tuning unless there are others who are nissan specific. And there is a guy on maxima.org who majes the custom peices. You can also use the iacv as well.

Finally a person with usable information. Why does anyone give a fuck what he mods? It's his car. So what he doesnt have a Vette or a ls platform. Let him do what he wants. You would think a moderator would clean this shit up. To add to the OP, a friend of mine swapped some of the stuff mentioned and didn't gain enough hp for the money. So he sold the parts and left it stock. Don't listen to those guys, it's a car you have and like. If you want to mod it, do it. You don't have to explain WHY you want to mod something. Or WHY you have a mnt dew tattoo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_buster Posted January 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 thanks rocky. my main questions is if picknpull parts would be ok or should i get parts store parts? I know they would be cheaper at a junkyard but can you trust things like egrs, injectors and the like from a junkyard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky31186 Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Certain items like injectors, egr, I would get new. Throttle body/ intake manifold I would get from junk yard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
