But you'll need their adapter plate for it to even fit on the DE plenum. And they include the voltagedrop.com PnP harness you need. Trust me, cheaper to buy their kit than piece it together.

m45 tb looks prettier though!

You can't get the adapter harness from nwp. It's been "out of stock" for a rediculous amount of time now. Just to clarify this..

correct me if am wrong isnt the m45 tb 80mm? who also sells a 3.5" intake tube?

npr350z

2k6 m45 and 2k9 maxima tb are the same except for the 2k9 has coolant lines.

Ya like NPR said, they're both the same. The inlet is 80mm and tapers to the butterfly at 75mm the rest of the way through.

Nobody specifically sells a 3.5" tube. Just have to either just a machine shop fab one for you, or piece one together using silicone tubing.

i see now thank for the info. that will be my next up coming mod. tomorrow im installing my hfc/ mrev2 + spacer. assuming i have all this + the tb upgrade would header gains be a bit more higher? i know the install in a pain an all that but id like stay na and my co workers can help me out pretty much for free with installs.

the tb gains will be minimal at best, they are just clearing up another bottle neck in the system. right now your bottle neck is the elbow on your intake manifold. i hate to say but the tb, isnt a cure all or an instant +5-10 hp, most gains will be minimal.
do you have a full exhuast behind those hfc? what are the plans for your car?
id say headers are only worth it if you plan on --->
a:cams
b:super charged/ turbo kit that can use them
C: just because
d: long tube headers
e: ditching the hfc
but if your stayiong na and doing everything.or got an uber good deal...and some free labor why not?

at this moment i have borla exhaust with welded magnaflow x pipe/ pop charger. tomorrow kinetix hfc, mrev2 + spacer. id like to get the tb in the future along with either UR crank or light weight stock size crank. was looking into DC headers. This is just my daily. id like a bit more response from it. if i would of known i would of down pretty much all bolts ons i would of just saved up and bought a used turbo but since i didnt id just stay na.

well..worst case your just laying a foundation for other parts. if you havent gotten a tune yet id suggest that. i would recomend staying away from underdrive pulleys, and i havent looked into it..but if you buy a lightened stock pulley set make sure the crank one is balanced and wont cause damage down the line. if your looking into dc headers id also suggest strupp headers, or if your a big money spender crawfords. the hfc will kinda hold you back...if its for emmesions i get it.

well my cars rebuilt title and hit from the front. i know i made a mistake when i bought the car but its my 1st car i buy. i notice my my pullys tend to wobble side to side a bit. So every once in awhile the lights in my car dim with a drop in idle for a split second. could replacing it solve that problem? no tune yet i want to get all the mods on before thats why i need to make up my mind about the headers in maybe the next month or 2

npr350z

iTrader: (1)

the lights dimming is the alternator starting to draw...im not sure if i worded that right, but thats normal. check your grounds for corrosion and clean them up and itll help....if your pulleys are wobbling...well that could be normal or a problem. what pulley/s is it?

and oh boy if this is your first car...i hate to ask but how old are you?

l2frankie

iTrader: (4)

Im 21 years old and i have owned my car for more then 2 years now. bought it myself cash. modded it myself with the money i make. Havnt hit a single thing in my car. ill have to check which pullys wobbling cant remember at the moment. Been lurking on this forum for awhile now.

ahh well nvm then, keep it clean and do it right and stay on the path !

l2frankie

iTrader: (4)

thats what am hoping for. The car alone is beautiful. sadly i dont think it will be worth much in a few yrs from now so i dont have any plans on selling it. would like to hit around 290 if possible without the cams. But i already know the limits of the z without really breaking the bank

im hoping it pulls a supra or a 300zx in a few years...where the price starts to go up up and up! lol
