Tuners getting 190+hp with intake/full exhaust/ecu tuning on the 2.0L.

Stoked. I'd heard the SkyActiv was difficult to ECU-tune, but BBR has a good reputation... so this will likely be reliable.

So, this car is already quicker off the mark than an 86... with this upgrade, it'll be faster at speed as well?![]()
The Fiat's dopey gaze makes itself look superfluous. Ugliest car of the year.I'd say the most impressive thing is that pulls that much torque that early with relatively simple changes. Makes the Fiat seem superfluous.
Nissan already took that award with this thing.Ugliest car of the year.
Highly disagree. Have you seen one in person? Edit: And have you seen that thing they call a Honda Civic?Nissan already took that award with this thing.
I love the blue they are using on multiple cars now (which started with the GT-R) but I've grown to love the white that's available as well.The only thing the Maxima needs is a darker color. The character lines they gave it really don't work with anything bright/reflective, but it's fine in the blacks and greens they tend to be sold as.
Not much of a Increase to me... Still needs a Turbo lol. 3 Mods for under 200hp is to costly. but im pretty sure its worth it to MX5 owners.
Seen it enough in person to know it's not a design I can get use to. The Civic is a mess, but the Maxima takes the mess to the max.Highly disagree. Have you seen one in person? Edit: And have you seen that thing they call a Honda Civic?
With some new shoes and a drop, they look damn nice. But to each their own.Seen it enough in person to know it's not a design I can get use to. The Civic is a mess, but the Maxima takes the mess to the max.
I've been a Nissan fan for as long as I've been driving. I've owned 4 of them (x2 B13 Sentra SE-R, x1 B15 Sentra SE, x1 200SX SE-R) and will be purchasing another (B14 SE-L) within the next year. My employment does not influence my love for the brand. In fact, I probably respect Mazda more.Today's shocking news story: man prefers products of the company that employs him.
I found it rude an unnecessary.Today's not quite as shocking news story: man gets butthurt over comment made on the internet.![]()
Yeah, didn't Car and Driver run a 14 second 1/4 mile in the stock car? The car is no slouch with no modifications as it is. I think with these mods, a good driver, and some good tires, you could have a 13 second car no problem. (if you are into that sort of thing) My 1990 with a small turbo and ~200hp to the wheels ran a 14.00 with a crappy 60' time and no LSD at 5600ft elevation.

This kit doesn't change the exhaust manifold, and gets 30 hp. That there's bound to be almost all chip. And like I said, I'd heard chip-tuning SkyActivs was problematic.
This means it may be possible to hit 200 or more by changing the header. Or not. Mazda SkyActivs have pretty good headers already.
