Maxima VQ vs Altima VQ??

[UsedGoldfish]

I have a 2002 altima 3.5 (with rod knock) I just purchased a 3.5 out of a 2002 Maxima. But my question is... how does the Maxima with the same motor from the same year have 255hp when my altima only has 240

i dont kno the main reason but same reason why the vq in the 350z, g35, g35 sedan, and what ever car uses the same engine all have diff hp. ima guess some hardware and some software tuning/detuniing

So will I see any gains from the motor swap (other then the JWT Flywheel and Exedy Clutch) ?

And I have another question JWT Flywheel or Fidanza Flywheel?

It actually went pretty well. The only problems i had...and they weren't really problems was. The Fuel injectors and intake manifold i had to take off my old vq cause the maxima's ones were different and I had to swap out the oil pan because the maxima motor was an automatic and my altima was a 5spd and they have different oil pans. Other then that my clutch was toast so i bought a new exedy clutch and JWT flywheel.
