Holla!!!!

 

that's the xmember i put in my maxima.

Came out of a 88 w block max

It look's like it mistake me if im wrong.

Whats those two strip thing's on the side?

 

look harder the OG's know what this means...

 

going turbo???

those strips look like they will be used to strengthen the x-member. They tend to break due to torque gained by the adding of a turbo

 

oh yeah got the bov, intercooler and piping coming this week got the engine coming this weekend with 99XXX miles and gonna get the motor mount welded tomorrow oh i should be done in like 2 weeks with work schedule and all

 

any update man ? Looks like i might just beat it to you...

buying full coust manifolds.





The maker of these is making me another pair

 

You're going to put weather stripping on your crossbeam????!!!??????!!!








You best be converting to 5-speed as well. If I find out you went turbo and kept it auto, I'm so driving down and smacking you in the face with my volvo.

hahahahaha!!!

time will tell

 

wow VG your going the most expensive way in the world by going that route im just gonna do a swap and turn up the boost that will be enough for me

 

....................

 

Well, there's a problem with that. You could turn up the boost, but you'd still need some form of fuel managment or that motor will be short lived because you will lean out like a ****. Also if you are using the stock T3, you probably are only going to get 10psi max out of it. Anything more and you just pumping heat into your motor as the turbo is terribly inefficient beyond that....and even 10 psi is pushing it.

Id have to agree with Sarin. I think anything below that for these cars would be enough. Anything to get the car more than what it initially is pumping out would help lol. I saw a nice 300zx with a custom turbo kit at a shop here dynoing some f-bodies. Oh so nice.

 

one step at a time i will reign victorious thanks for the input now i have sometin more to look foward to

 

so what all do you have for the turbo swap ???

I would love to know what all you're using.

 

im thinking of getting a sabb 900s intercooler and i already have a bov and some intecooler pipes gonna use a 300zx turbo engine with stock turbo get that going and running good then ill upgrade from there ill go in steps so that i know what someting is if it goes wrong...

 

Youll need a turbo ecu also .

Id go with a early 89 turbo ecu.

 

 

Lol , How much did all that cost you??

Hopfully it all works out for you man!

update us on how the install goes.

 

bout 200 shipping inc

 

is that a 3rd gen?

 

thats what i was thinking.....


oh well.....





but theres no turning back now...

 

foward is my only option, plus would you give up now if you hade one of these in your driveway?......




then i got the custom motormouny just gotta drill the holes in it




RESISTANCE is FUTILE!

 

what a freakin *** mess man, i wouldnt ever be able to figure all that out

 

No doubt.That looks like a hell of a lot of work!

 

but ill love it tho, started taking it apart and its now bare heads and block ill take those off and replace the headgaskets also the camshaft seals were not in place sliding around in their sockets ill also replace those along with all of the other gaskets thinking of having her done within this week the engine that is then a nother few days puttin her back i the max and wiring her all up until then ill be checking in here seein what yall have to say btw i do still have the origonal block so if yall need some defrentiating difference comparisons lemme kno and il o what i can, any suggestions please lemme kno first time me doing this so ill pave the way for all ofyall and make it easier if i can when im done for everyone else...

 

well taking the engine apart i discovered something!!!!........

this is piston number one





number 3 isist dimpled but it is badly scratched

so now the vg30et block is destroyed but all hope is not lose im gonna use the vg30e block and swap out the pistons and reuse the vg30et heads awwwh man this is a project in a half both blocks are totally stripped so when i get the pistons back in im gonna put all of the acessories back in and we should have a turbo max this delayed me a few days but its all goot experience..

 

ouchi, looks like some one didnt mantain it and pushed it too hard

 

That sux. Where did you get the engine from? hope everything else goes well

 

at athe ecology for 170 with the warranty too much of a hassle to take it back tho

 

i would, theres definitly better donor engines out there

 

like to see the finished job

 

just a lil update, the turbo is in i just gotta figure out the idle wiring the new module is different than the old one any tips

 

were there any useable parts in the bottom end?

 

Excellent choice with the 300zx motor and ECU. I have a few suggestions, some of which you may have already considered:

1) Run only wastegate boost to begin with. With the 300zx TT ECU you should not need to tune but it's best to play it safe to begin with.

2) I'm not sure of the trans/engine compatibility. Make sure the automatic trans will be able to mate up to the flywheel without much modification. A slight adjustment in bolt pattern will be okay but anything past that will take a miracle to adjust.

3) Toughen up your trans with an external cooler and external filter. The filter will keep smaller pieces of trash out of your trans that the internal filter could only dream of catching. Also install a transmission temperature gauge. You can never be too safe.

Good luck on your turbo project.

 

I think he wont be completeing this any time soon..

 

You're going to need wiring diagrams from both wiring harnesses (one for Max and one for 300ZX) in order to match each one's function. Once you trace the wires its as simple as crimping/soldering, though I prefer soldering if you are good at it.

The only problem is figuring out if the ECU from the 300zx makes adjustments based on the same voltage readings as what is being output by your existing wiring harness.

Does the new module not directly plug in to the 300zx ECU? I would think it should.

 

i am nearly finished with this swap as for the tranny, everything bolted straight up, as for the ecu it all connects perfectly nothing odd except for the idle also i fot the intercooler in and all piped up, i was also thinking of using an intake manifold from a 200sx v6 so that the intake port is in the middle for that more jdm look, getting the exaust welded on monday, as for useable parts on the bottom end...... not really not even the oil pan had to make a bung for it, i already have a tranny cooler but i didnt think about the filter i have a 300zx oil cooler installed as well, and for tyerW, the wiring should be the same voltage because i used the 3003x ecu in my 85 with no neg problems, so im guessin it all works but well see a lil later in the week ill post pics on sunday or monday of the intake intercooler setup, mototmounts, ecu, idle wiring, btw i figured why cylinder number 1&3 was trashed the idiot's timing was way too advanced, dont really have a internet connection at home anymore but ill try my hardest to keep you guys posted on the 5th turbocharged second gen max...

 

..... before I get ahead of myself, what do you plan on doing about those two pistons?

 

i thought he said he was gonna reuse the origonal bottom end

 

naah i swapped them out for a nother set of 300zx pistons since the block was kinda trashed as well im using the block, crankshaft, 300zx turbo pistons, 300zx turbo heads, it was a long journey to build but i made it. so i gusee its kinda of the origonal bottom end and block

i got a bomb a$$ pic but i cant upload it at the library
