hey everybody hey what going on. I just picked up the max a few days ago. I have been running with a open wastegate (not boosting) I did this before I shipped the car from HI. my brother was suppose to pick the car up, and drive from n.j to m.a. I didnt trust him ( he has a heavy foot) and i didnt want him to blow the motor. I put about 1100.mile with the turbo, I have been boosting around 7psi on a daily basis before I left. I had a few minor problems, kink in the oil return line and blew the seals out the turbo, went up my parents steep driveway, and my down pipe scraped so hard that I broke a weld off the main bracket that holds the turbo in place, finally got my stillen ft lip, and no tools to put it on (got to protect that fmic),got 18x9 rims that fit my car without rubbing, but the inside radius is too small for my 12.5 rotors, forgot to mention that I also left the brackets I made for my 300zx calipers in hawaii, when I started the project, I decided to rebuild my tranny slap in a act clutch, lightweight flywheel, and replace the bearings, I put the tranny back together and forgot to put one of the shaft spring/ball in the tranny, so every know and then when I put the car in revears the shaft move and meshes the wrong gear and im stuck in first. Its been snowing so I havent been able to work on the car and I promise everyone Ill make the maxima meet this sat, All my tools and things are in storage because I havent found a place. ( homeless living inside of a maxima)and my wife wants me to sell the car because she thinks I spend more time on the car than I do with her.
I got the case of the maxima blues

 

tell your wife you love her.

 

Man, what a horror story. Keep up the work on the Max if you can, but family comes first man!

 

can you rebuild my tranny i can help, i'm just afraid to do it by myself.
where in mass are you located now? i need to see this beast

 

im in lynn

 

what is that close to? i'm in rhode island.

 

Lynn, Lynn, the city of sin....you'll never come out the way you came in My dad grew up there. Maybe I'll come check out the monster if I have some free time sometime.

 

i dont care how hot she is a turbo ve comes way before the family congradulations and it seems like youve been having the normal problems with a custom turbo setup but youll get all the little kinks worked out eventually and then it will be one hell of a fun car to drive good luck AND GET TO THE DYNO AND TRACK

 

tru dat

 

I only remember seeing some pics of the setup at the beginning when Klown posted it.

 

there are more pics on turbomaxima.com

 

its on the northshore, about 10miles northeast of boston

 

Damn and I was just in boston last week.

 

At least you're back on the main land. There will probably be a time when you might start agreeing with your wife due to obstacles, but you've done a lot so far. Good luck, keep it going if/when you can

 

ever thought about creating a turbo kit from your design? I would be instrested.

 

thats good that you have it all together .. somewhat.. but thats really awsome ... what meet are you talking about on sat? im in CT i want to see this thing..

 

Glad to hear from you again. Good that your back on the East Coast. Let me know when and if you need any help. Plus family does come first...

Dont worry, I wont let him get rid of the max

 

Want to meet up sometime(within the next 2 weeks maybe)? I'll bring my camera if you wanna get some good pics and stuff. BTW, if you decide to sell my email addy is mike@boosted-maximas.net, and I'll be glad to take it off your hands..

 

I will be glad to take your set up off your hands.

 

F'in trader

 

hurry up...I need boost.

j/p I dont have the cash right now.

 

no prob, let me know when. Where are you located? I will like to dyno, and take it to the track on the same day, soooooooooo why just make a meet out of it oh yeah, and who ever wants to come, please bring some tools, a clutch and a few spare engines. ( I want to break the 350fhp mark )

 

Good luck!!!

 

I'm in Stoughton. If you wanna meet up and dyno you could always bring it to Martel Racing in NH. That's who Avalon Racing uses for their dynos. I guess we could go to NED after that if you would like? I can bring the Jeep so if you blow the engine I can tow it to your house and put all the pieces that it shot out in the back? LOL I'm outta school next week so just make a date and we'll chill..

 

 

I will be there! you should get a clutch from PJ in the GD forum. I got mine yesterday and Its gonna sit here until we get the tranny issue straightened out. I hear the Exedy Stage I clutch should be good.

 

Take vids Mike!

 

the clutch I have in there is new (ACT)I just hope it can stand the abuse

 

I heard it is suppose to hold 400hp.
