TL vs Quest

I have 06 TL 6MT bone stock
vs
My friend has 06 Nissan Quest with Super Charger, CAI, Full exhaust system (he claims, but not sure what he means full exhaust system)

What do you guys think? He wants to race me... probably gonna do a short 0-70 ish and from a roll to 80 ish... I recently got a ticket for 120mph, so not going to risk again and I've been driving no more than 5mph above speed limit

why on earth did your buddy mod a Quest? You should win if you hit your shifts right, but it will probably be close.

If he got the 3.5 liter Quest , I think I'll give him the advantage.

I was not aware that there was a blower for any of the FFL VQ35DE Nissans (Maxima/Altima/Murano/Quest).



or I will have to on those mod claims.

I don't see 1 specifically for the Quest, but there are plenty for the G/350Z and a for the FX35

There are such things as "gearing", "aerodynamics", "Fuel management", and "weight" to contend with. Just 'cause my Odyssey has 240 HP, does not mean it can beat on an RSX-S with 200 HP. Now take away all the seats (9), Audio and DVD system, electronic door openers (3), etc... and then maybe, maybe if they are a good driver they'll have a chance.

Yes, Stillen's blowers are for the FM versions of the VQ35DE (i.e.: G35/Z/FX/M) which are setup and tuned differently than the Maxima/Altima/Quest/Murano version of the VQ35DE. (As a Murano and 02 Maxima owner, I have researched the aftermarket for forced induction availability...nothing so far. )

I guess if someone has the cash to burn, they could modify those blowers for use in the FFLs. But, I cannot imagine the Quest being that FFL candidate. Then again who knows?

I would like to see some pics though.

i don't know about you guys but in the past 5 years i've seen a *huge* increase in the amount of modded vans on the road. so friggin wierd.

my friend in high school had an old chrysler minivan but all he did was install six 15" subwoofers into the back. it had no seats but god damn that thing pounded.

i met a guy with a big chevy conversion van that had all captains chairs in it for the passengers and tables and shit. it had a corvette engine in it. that thing moved. it'd be pretty sweet if he could fit a waterbed and a discoball in the back of that nissan quest.....

I one time saw a Honda odyssey with HIDs and front,side, and back skirts...it looked pretty sick i must admit..but this quest is just a different ballgame.
