That is close, but I think we can squeeze it a lil more for, say 830+ whp. The AMS Evo IX, with the same turbo is closer to 900+AWHP. And that is from a fricken 4cylinder 2.0! (I think it was stroked out to 2.3) I believe that the 3.5, with the right bottom, head work, and supporting mods, is capable of atleast the same if not more. 3.5 displaces more air. I did talk with a friend/vendor about a stroker kit for my car, but damn, at some point, money DOES start to matter. lol Your guess though was very respectable though, lol. I am trying to get a few of them to make more stuff for our cars, but they all say the same thing, "not enough interest" I know, I am working on them, but for now I have to be the guinea pig.
You are right! We must! I have to install alot of the bolt on stuff from my garage, lol, you up for an install party??? lol j/k

5AT upgrade options are available...
And one day we need to get a little meet & greet together in Jacksonville, St. Augustine, or Daytona....I know there are a few alti's floating around in those areas
And then you have to find a way to put all that power to the ground. It'll be yet another dyno-queen where it's trapping 140+ but only capable of running mid-12s.

If you could install my headers, I would drive my happy ass to palm coast and let you have at it, and then I would help you install all your little bolt-ons
hey 350zzz, im from ma. ill be traveling between lynn and lawrence alot. i dont think ill be able to get everything i want for it to be worth tuning. currently i am just putting on fujita cai, and redline racing hood struts... i doubt ill be getting all cattman parts for exhaust yet but, you do tuning? or are the maxima expert, love you hit you up some time for installs or certain stuff.
I'll bet your wrong. Tration bars and an "H" brace will help out alil, and if I can get the AEM EMS to work with this set up, I can control how the power comes on in the 1st couple of gears before full boost. Solid motor mounts would also help, but im betting getting them to work without triggering the knock sensor is another story. I do know for sure, as much as it will be frustrating to try to get the power down, it will also be fun trying to get the same power down.

Yeah, thanks for the luck bro. whether or not I get it to work out like I want, its the attempt at it that teaches lessons that I learn from and THEN get closer each attempt there after. Hey they laughed when I attempted 500+ on my SRT-4. After many attempts, and many different setups, I hit the mark. Putting power down was also an issue that was somewhat tamed. Hey they are both FWD for god's sake, lol thats what makes it even better when its done. They also laughed when I thought I could create that same power in the SRT-4 by way of twin chargers, but, uhm, again, it was done, and done well. Just because it HASNT been done doesnt mean it cant, or shouldnt atleast be attempted.
lol, yeah I can do headers. Which ones did you get?

You haven't had a look under your Altima have you? We're running a completely different subframe compared to most vehicles that are capable of using traction bars. In our case there is NO room to attach an sort of bar to limit the movement of the a-arm/lower control arm.
As you can see if the wheel were at full turn it would pretty much cover the control arm. Which means there's no way for something to attach to it w/o killing turn radius. MMIs wont help when it comes to that much power.
Not knocking you bro, because a 700WHP Altima would be down-right nuts but to be putting down that much power and not be able to do anything with it is.. stupid. That is unless you make it into a complete drag-car.
And good luck getting it all done on $12k (if I'm reading correctly) because just internals will be about $15k. Head-work, tuning, etc. will add up quick. You can probably get away with a bolt-on turbo kit for $12k with a clutch and tuner.
Na man, no offense taken, as far as the cost, I am not paying retain for most of this, which is why it will happen. traction will be something to work with, but its just another obstacle. Big one, yes, but I will research it more. Never said motor mounts alone would solve this, only that they would help. Putting most of this power to the ground, again, would have to come from tuning boost out, or really low til it is rolling and then have it come on. I do appreciate any insight as I know I will cross it sooner or later, so help IS a good thing. I dont see it as knocking because I know the outcome, and then folks will say something different.

Blah! Who needs turning radius when you're going in a straight line?
