Don't go for forced induction, unfortunately the CVT means no turbo for you or me.
Especially on the 2.5.

I'd stick to exhaust, air intake, a tune, and call her a day.

You'd break the 200 hp mark is my guess. Then you could take on the Toyobarus! ;)

@GrahamDBraun hey thanks for the reply. Yea unfortunately I did notice that there is no turbo for my car which sucks I think my other car I had before was at 220 HP but my Altima coupe is at 175 HP. I did hear that the most I can probably give it is 300 HP which I think I would settle for if I have no choice haha I'd be honest if I had the chance for 3.5 A/C I'd be happy as can be the stock on that is 270 but they didn't have any sadly. I guess I would have to do a little investment becuase I do want to give it the gtr body kit but thanks again I appreciate the tips

No problem! However,

I hate to be the one to burst your bubble but there's no real way to get the car up to 300hp, unless you are going forced induction, but even if you did, the CVT can't take it. It's sort of impossible, and if not, then very difficult.

You sounds like you're really aiming for having a quick car, whereas I bought mine (primarily) for it's looks and practicality (FWD for snow driving).

I know it sucks to hear but if reaching significant amounts of HP with your car is your goal, you're going to have to switch to a manual transmission car. Preferably a 3.5 6MT, but they're a fait bit pricier than the other 3 options.

That being said, a 2.5 MT is usually only 1-2k more than a 2.5 CVT.

You're best bet is to purchase a few bolt-on goodies to improve the car's sound to make you "feel" as though it's faster. :biggrin:

Go with styling and handling enhancements to make your car more enjoyable. If a fast car is what you really want, you'll need to consider buying a different car. While the 3.5 coupe is "fast" it really isn't "fast". :yesnod
