10 HP and 12 ft/lbs of torque for $145 isnt worth it? this is literally the best gains for the $ you can get on the 7th gen Maxima. everyone who orders these spacers absolutely loves them.
@ghoztmic Ok, it didnt really say much but it said this. Instead of recorded horsepower vs engine speed, one must record horsepower vs vehicle speed. Its also important that the test be started at the same exact wheel speed on the dyno for accurate and repeatable results. CVT Pull: Off idle stomp gas and lift from brake simultaneously. The last part said "start sample from below 20MPH to rev-limiter" but I think that refers to the cube they tested.
No, these gains shown are from simply bolting the spacers on. I tuned later, but wouldn't be able to tell you what the tuned gains are from this part as my tune netted gains from all my mods.
@ghoztmic its been done properly. D Sport Mag. did a project with a Cube and got accurate results extreamly close and a little over by 2-3hp than the manual.
@GTnumber1 Thanks for your input, you definitely missed something though. Cooler air isn't the only way spacers provide added power, as they also increase the runner length and increased length = more room for air which is more power. This is similar to the way a custom manifold provides gains. And yes you are right on, they are reuseable phenolic is strong stuff!
this wasnt a tune, just dyno pulls to see before/after of a part install. we were able to get consistent pulls with a simple red-line pull, doesn't show max WHP and obviously isn't as accurate as a WOT locked-in-gear pull but its as close as we'll ever get with this CVT, one of the few CVT trans with no dyno mode to lock in gear
you must be really new to the Maxima/CVT. its impossible to see Max WHP with this CVT transmission because it doesn't lock in gear. you can see the RPM dyno chart for gains on this part that's all you need; doesn't matter what other mods are installed.
waiting for them to arrive. going to see if there really is an increase. My friend who works for Subaru said the gains will be very minimal but there will be gains. we'll see. honestly money isn't an issue for me so hey even if allni get is cooler temperatures I'll be glad
I'm a big maxima fan myself wish they would have installed a 6mt on the newer max wonder if you can swap the altima coupe v6 6mt to the maxima those altimas Manuel coupes put down close to 300 wheel horsepower with just headers and tune
Need some help here. I'm from Montreal Canada. I would like to know how to remove my passages door side panel. Can anyone help me or send me a how to video. My window will not go all the way up
the spacers fit all 7th generation Maxima models (09-13). these + an intake/exhaust give a nice feel. i got the Stillen UD/lightweight pulley and Uprev tune as well, car is definitely quicker.
question, im not a mechanic but im good with my hands, as far as installing the thermal spaces can you rate it form 1-5, 1 being easy 5 being advanced/difficult.
@fonsotrilla09 this was my first time doing I.M. spacers, wasn't too bad at all. sounds more complicated than it really is. im not a mechanic, just a guy with some tools and good with my hands.
I was thinking of getting it for my 2010 maxima but I found it only increase 10 hp and 9 ft/lbs tourque it's not worth it !! but it has an amazing sound : )
Hey do you ever go through hell with emissions testings for your car or no? Cause I'm getting this model nissan soon and I don't want to have to get test from issions saying some bullshit
+Wildy Metellus no it doesn't intakes don't do shit for any car considering it's not actually cold air.... Turboed cars benefit the most but even then it's nothing
the reason this upgrade is useless is because spacers never increase peak hp. and since the maxima comes with a cvt the increase in hp at mid-low rpm range that all spacers provide you with is pretty much useless. therefore you might increase your 0-60 times by a tenth of a second. but it it wont be very useful especially after the cvt revs the engine up.
I have write-ups on how to do some of it on my7thgen.org check it out in the DIY section. I've been considering joining a local custom headlight company because a lot of people have asked if I can do stuff for them too, may have to cave in lol
I got two VQs an 08 350z HR and a 02 MAXIMA 6 playa and am telling you those spacers do dick to your car unless its stick,,,sorry for being the truth tella lol

VQ song never changes :)
But it doesn’t sound too great with a CVT
damn no numbers?

Where can I buy the spacers

I'm A hands on person, took a look at the engine doesn't look hard at all, can't wait to install them

Hey bro I from Baltimore and just got a max I ordered these spacers did you do the by pass on the coolant or no
Hello, what lowering springs are you using on this maxima? And do u have spacers installed?....... Thank u
I like the cvt. They did a great job. Especially if you get the Paddle Shifters.
Whut
yo I know it’s been a long time since this video was uploaded but i’m looking to install spacers on my Maxima as well. How difficult is this to do????
this wasnt a tune, just dyno pulls to see before/after of a part install. we were able to get consistent pulls with a simple red-line pull, doesn't show max WHP and obviously isn't as accurate as a WOT locked-in-gear pull but its as close as we'll ever get with this CVT, one of the few CVT trans with no dyno mode to lock in gear

Been tying to find the exact spacers cant find dem need help
@alhayem2009 couldnt get max WHP readings, the CVT is tricky to dyno
I didn't mean about the price
I could pay 300 $ for it
but the work is needed
I don't want to screwed
Thanks pro
I appreciate it
Where can I buy the spacers been researching and can’t find anything I have a 2011 Nissan Maxima
I'm a big maxima fan myself wish they would have installed a 6mt on the newer max wonder if you can swap the altima coupe v6 6mt to the maxima those altimas Manuel coupes put down close to 300 wheel horsepower with just headers and tune
Awesome. I'm sold. I hope to see similar gains on my Impreza.
Need some help here. I'm from Montreal Canada. I would like to know how to remove my passages door side panel. Can anyone help me or send me a how to video. My window will not go all the way up
How do you like the borla cat back I have a 2014 maxima and I'm stuck between borla or the Stillen which would you prefer
the spacers fit all 7th generation Maxima models (09-13). these + an intake/exhaust give a nice feel. i got the Stillen UD/lightweight pulley and Uprev tune as well, car is definitely quicker.
question, im not a mechanic but im good with my hands, as far as installing the thermal spaces can you rate it form 1-5, 1 being easy 5 being advanced/difficult.
Do they still sale this spacer?
Can you please tell me the exact model of the borla catback exhaust and what type of cold air intake your using ?
difficult to show gains because of that CVT :(
Can I have the link for the DRL of this Maxima please. Thanks.
@fonsotrilla09 this was my first time doing I.M. spacers, wasn't too bad at all. sounds more complicated than it really is. im not a mechanic, just a guy with some tools and good with my hands.
I was thinking of getting it for my 2010 maxima
but I found it only increase 10 hp and 9 ft/lbs tourque
it's not worth it !!
but it has an amazing sound : )
headlights type ?
So this demonstration was the spacers and not the Manifold it's self right? Do you use the stock manifold
sound so beautiful
good deal so what was the hp and torque gains??
@Stevenhiggles any tips or tricks with the CVT? we tried removing the ABS fuse but it still sort of went crazy.
Hey whats the name of those headlights ?
And what was the magic number for your car ???
What headlight are those???
That's one mean looking Maxima!!
where or how did u get the headlights like that
That v1 block off plate won't work for 2008 altima 3.5
my buddy just got a 2013 maxima do u have the spacers for his year? and can u suggest other mods
nissan needs to put a 6speed back in the max
What brand headlights are those?
Any tuning of the vehicle required to see those gains?
yo dude by how much do you think this will improve your 0-60 times. With that spacer thing and is it hard to install
what is the name of those headlight ?!
where can I buy it from ?!
We tested these again using our 6 speed 7th gen and gains were non-existent.
ghoztlighting so a before and after with the 6 speed and there was no difference?
yea dyno sheets are on Nisformance's FB page
does this car have a CVT?
is this a throttle body spacer??
Sounds sick
@InfiniteMaC im testing a part for a company in this video
How much whp ?
Would it be possible to do a trans swap out of a Z?
jaydin dominguez not with a maxima. fwd vs rwd... maxima the engine is sideways unlink the 350z which is pointing the right way
smack9x actually you can swap it with the VQ35 DE if you wanna go Manual too
hey bro can you tell me how the hell you get a accurate tune with cvt
Sport mode 4th
So what were the #'s????
if they replied back with the dyno numbers.. hell then froze over
Hey do you ever go through hell with emissions testings for your car or no? Cause I'm getting this model nissan soon and I don't want to have to get test from issions saying some bullshit
what mods can I do to my 2011 maxima for maximum performance
u got KN cold intake that help
+Wildy Metellus no it doesn't intakes don't do shit for any car considering it's not actually cold air.... Turboed cars benefit the most but even then it's nothing
Well idk bout her max buy my 13 max felt the change in power n torque n i run it too it improve from 6.39 to 6.21
I mean 6.12
How can I some LED front Bumper light like yours if you don't mind?
i love Nissan have murano 3.5sr and maxima but your video shows us the viewers nothing. Wher are your dyno test results
you should make some more i would deff buy them lol
If you are interested in custom lighting, please visit my business page at facebook.com/ghoztlighting
"Driving it like a manual" was he using paddle shifters then? Idk how this works when there's a CVT in it. Sorry I don't know shit.
infamousian123 he was
infamousian123 in some

Hey what headlights are those......????? And what were the numbers...????? 😂🤣😂 yeah right!
Dope ass Maxima
What ever happened to this car?
CVT sucks major balls...
Me wants the 6spd D':
Nestor Lugo Agree. Wish the Maxima is offered in a 6 speed automatic and RWD.
+ManWhatever1 I'd be interested to see AWD models as well as RWD
That CVT is the only thing stopping me from buying this car.
im swapping mine to a 6 speed
I have write-ups on how to do some of it on my7thgen.org check it out in the DIY section. I've been considering joining a local custom headlight company because a lot of people have asked if I can do stuff for them too, may have to cave in lol
custom built by me - not for sale.
how long that CVT going to hold up
I turbocharged the car a few years after this and blew up 2 CVTs. Got a 6 speed in it now
ghoztlighting but is there anything that can be done to beef up the CVT
Clayson Webster nope
did you run a trans cooler?
yup
Love
i custom made them
God I hate CVT transmissions.
thats how you shorten an engines life
I got two VQs an 08 350z HR and a 02 MAXIMA 6 playa and am telling you those spacers do dick to your car unless its stick,,,sorry for being the truth tella lol
@ghoztmic THIS ^
@DirtySleevesMusic من جد :(
cvt fuck up a good car
never mind lol
show me, and i pay
no sense for making this video?
This is useless no numbers,no before and after what was the point ???
we dyno'd again after swapping the trans to 6 speed and there are no gains. dont bother with this mod
This was dumb with out showing the numbers.
What type of headlights are those? I have a 2011 that I'm customizing
Hey do you ever go through hell with emissions testings for your car or no? Cause I'm getting this model nissan soon and I don't want to have to get test from issions saying some bullshit
