These VIAS Block Plates only fit on the VQ35DE engine in most FWD platforms.

This is strictly a block plate kit for those that have removed their VIAS (Variable Induction Air Control System). This will hurt low end power, but since you are removing an obstruction, it will help top end.

The other use for this block plate and considered the best option as far as performance is known as the SSIM (Secret Sauce Intake Manifold). That name was created years ago by a member of the Maxima discussion forums. This involves cutting the shelf out of the main chamber of the upper intake manifold and removing the VIAS assembly. This will still lose a little low end power, but the gains in the top end are very noticeable. It's definitely a modification that is worthwhile.

We offer a Thermal Intake Spacer Kit for the 95-99 Maxima also that we have proved HP gains with along with an average intake manifold temperature decrease of 43 degrees! Heat soak is drastically reduced with this kit. You can find more details here:

Also, what do you mean by valve cover plates? Please send your product idea to [aaron@nwpengineering.com] to discuss development further.

Please let me know if you have any more questions.

Installed mine about 2-3 weeks ago and it looks pretty clean. Super easy install. Going to have the spacers installed here soon as well!

The Block Plate Kits are still in stock. If anybody has any questions, feel free to post.

Thanks.

Recently, I have seen more and more people are producing these plates themselves in order to save money. That is why I decided to produce a less expensive VIAS/SSIM Block Plate Kit for those on a budget.

Instead of a fully CNC machined Block Plate with a raised NWP logo, it will be engraved. It's still CNC machined out of 6061 billet aluminum and holds the same tolerances as before, but there is much less machining time with the engraved logo.

The first prototype is complete and looks great. The final retail price will probably be set at $40 plus $6 shipping, but I plan on launching these plates at a discounted price for a limited time. I haven't determined quite yet what the sale price will be, but you will not be disappointed!



I hope to have these in stock and ready for sale within 2 weeks. Thanks again for all your support!

installing these components...how would gas mileage be affected??

Gas mileage should not be noticeably changed. You will lose a small amount of low end power, that most say isn't noticeable. But, in theory, if you cruise at that particular rpm where you lost your power, then gas mileage should be hindered.

But so far, I have not seen anybody claim to see any changes in their gas mileage. Are you planning on doing the VIAS Removal by itself or the SSIM where you physically cut out of the divider in the upper intake manifold?
