hi, im trying to develope a new style intake manifold for my car. its already an efi setup and this is the best resource i have found for custom fabricating intakes. the car is a 1995 nissan maxima se. currently it has a long tube setup split between and upper and lower plenum. i was wondering if switching to a short ram directly over the lower intake would be a benifit. i was a camaro owner for quite some time i just switched to a better fuel car while saving for my dream garage to get another camaro again.
if anyone could bring some insite i would be very thankful. the import boards are a little lacking in real performance upgrades.
----------
i will try to find an image for reference.

 

anyone?

 

i have no idea, i cant help you out, but i do know that the chance of someone knowing/and being willing to help on an all third gen board is slim to none, sorry but thats how this place is

 

yea i figured just thought id try for that slim chance. there are already a few third and fourthgen fbodys that fell to the maxima already so im sure some will be weary to help me lol

 

The cost to custom develop something like that would not be worth it.
Nissan has a fairly large bankroll for R&D and put together a system that works quite well in the 3.0 engine. Switching to a custom short runner intake would require extensive tuning which is not easy or cheap with the Maxima.

You'd do better to look into maxima.org and see what sort of performance gains people have already been successful with.

btw my daily driver is a 2000 SE

 

yea i have been over there since i got my max. i thought it might be worth while since the ka, sr, and rb engines all have a shortram system. for the money involved maybe im just better porting the lower half and getting a mpvi or whatever initials it is intake.

 

if you want a custom fabbed intake then get yourself a hogan intake, going to set u back alot though. http://www.hogansracingmanifolds.com...atalog2005.pdf
