hey just found this forum after lookign around for info... i can't findm uch so i am asking you guys

i just bought a Maxima 1988 with a gas conversion so it runs petrole and gas at a flic of a swithc

1. anyone know what is a safe amount of boos to run stock?

2. anyone know any problems with running gas trought a turbo car? and if i could run more or less boost with gas?

3. what problems can i expect on this car? at 200k miles?

and any other genral info would be cool also wouldn't mind seeing some other pics of 1988 car... semi done up ones

 

There's no way you can run boost on an engine with 200K miles, you'll destroy just about every gasket and seal in the damn thing, not to mention anhiliate your transmission.

If you had the engine and transmission completely rebuilt and just used stock parts, you should be able to get away with 5-8 psi safely. Go with performance parts and you may be able to get up to 15 psi. That's just an educated guess, as I don't know of anyone who's actually done the turbo mod. I know that it's been done before, as I've seen a turbo 2nd gen for sale on ebay, so it is possible

I have no idea what you're talking about with the "gas conversion" thing. What the hell is petrole? So I can't answer your question about running turbo with whatever gas you've got, as I don't have a clue as to what you're talking about.

in australia we have petrol (probley called gas to you guys) then lpg gas....


on and im pretty sure who ever Heath (sister's BF who i bought it off) bought it from has rebuilt the engine... i will find out tomorrow, but yeah its running 14psi atm.... im pretty sure its had a little work done to it, it has nice mags and nice tinting on windows... and the gas conversion (which u don't understand) was also put in which cost a bit over here.

 

I heard of that conversion from europe, I guess it's cheaper that way. Basically the car runs on the same gas like you use for your stove or grill. Am I right? You can find a lot of info by using the search function.
