Why not just buy a car that has a turbo from factory, like a Mitsu Eclipse or Talon. Those fockers are fast and cheap to mod up.

Yeah the Subaru Legacy Turbo is rare. I don't know just the maintenance alone after you turbo your Maxima is a scary thought but if you can afford it go for it.

sorry should have been clearer.
ones that aren't selling for over 15,000
and the galant is smaller than the max. My buddy has one all modded up. but still drives it like a grandma.
and if you want to include the galant then we open up to the WRX , GL10, 626, and I think a few others. just can't recall em all

The Galant VR4 isn't even close to being $15 grand the last time I shopped them. You know what one even is? A good modded Galant will put out over 300hp. Seems pretty go to me.

The last Legacy that had a turbo is just as small or smaller than the Galant VR4

As I said"the galant is smaller than the max" that was the reason I discounted it along with "WRX , GL10, 626, and I think a few others. just can't recall em all" I do know a good amount about the 4wheel drive 4 wheel steering turbo 2.0 DOHC little monster. like I said my buddy has a modded one. So I do know something about them. and the Legacy was definitely bigger than the galant. I had a 90 NA. which I actualy sold to my buddy who has the VR4 so I got to see them side by side.

Good one Jeff, the Galant Vr-4 is the ****. Well put a turbo on your maxima and then race a Vr-4, and then also look at the amount of money you both spent. You'll see what I'm talking about.

sad thing is stock for stock, if driven right a VE 5psd N/A isn't much slower(if even) than a stock boost VR4. so who even needs the turbo on the Maxima.

Oh yeah some info on the Galant Vr-4, only 3000 of them made between, 1991 and 1992. 4G63 2.0 DOHC motor @195 hp @ 11psi. Get a manual boost controller and fuel pump and you can easily boost with the stock 14b Mitsu turbo at 17 psi which takes you way over 195 hp All-wheel drive (forget about racing it off the line). 4 wheel steering, handles much better. Only came in three colors Green, white and black and they have Vr-4 badges. Awesome car, I love to drive it when I get a chance.

195 crank and only ~160/165 whp...not the greatest in stock form.
and 17 psi on the the stock 14b??? boosting the 14B at 17psi is WAAAAY past its efficiency in stock form

No its not, I deal with DSM's always and 17 psi is right there perfect for the stock intercooler. If you upgrade the intercooler and get some water injection the 17 is more fine. The 14b can handle 25psi but it depends on the accessories you have.

Also most DSM owners don't run 25 psi on their stock 14 b they upgrade to a 16G or 20G. Tuning and everything is important and the accessories. Like the GM MAF with the translator and the SAF-c or even a VPC system are great things that help in the efficiency of each turbo.

didn't say anything about the IC...
turbocharger EFFICIENCY and what power the system can handle are too different things...you can make all the upgrades you want and you can push all the PSI you want through the 14B but over 18 on the stock trim turbo(ie- no wheel upgrades, etc.) is doing nothing but blowing useless air. check the efficiency and flow charts of the STOCK trim 14b, 25psi is pointless

I have checked it and have dynoed many of them and I've seen what they can do and not handle. I said that 17psi for the stock intercooler on a DSM is just right. We are talking about DSM's not turbos alone.

Back on topic...I think the hardest part in turboing the VE would be fuel management. Running the piping or mounting all the stuff isn't difficult (well, compared to putting a turbo on any stock NA car), it's making the car run efficient is what is difficult.

Fuel is the easy part. As long as you don't overdrive the injectors.

Psst. I can sent my JWT ecu back for tweaking and avoid all extra FM equipment all together. Haven't decided what way to go

it doesn't matter what car the 14b is put on, PSI is PSI and efficiency doesn't differ per what ever motor it is on DSM 2.0 or not... but anyways who cares this could go on forever.

aight...sorry 4 tha delay....i talked to one of the owners in the elmont shop..and he said that if i can get a group of 10 or more .... the price would probably be $600-$1000 per person rather than $4000 alone. but also i have to assemble a 3rd gen group with their names n phone #'s to them so they can file it in their computer. they pretty good....around the shop..all u see is turbo rx-7s....they seem to be cool and they didnt bs me on the prices. "GT racing" i think its called. holla backn let me know what u think.

Well, our injectors are what, 180cc/min? Can't you only get like 250hp out of them at 100%?

you cant run the injectors at 100% if they will only support 80%.


$600-$1000, I would need very specific details about what exactly I would be getting for that, I mean a brand new turbo alone would be atleast $400, and that would be a good deal.

it would be 600 to 1000 dollars ....if.............we get about 10 or more 3rd gen up in this group deal.thats the catch....hopefully people would stop being in disbelief and start actually think its possible. we got other non believers on the org and thats no problem..but it is a problem when u spread this bad thought on everybody else like a damn virus.
if u have intentions to do major mods...then just do it....we suppose help each other so we can be proud of our whips...come on!!!!

yeah $1000 seams cheap I would think for a decent turbo set up you would spend that much on the turbo and electronics alone

if its $1000 for a good kit Ill be in for 2 cars right now

Spencediggy just let me know if this dude is sure about that price. Because im your boy, and for a custom made set- up that price does sound kinda low. Is that price just for the kit or is that for labor and tuning too? Is he going to do the necessary mod's needed to turbo a non-turbo car?
Because I really want a turbo but I wanna have someone do it who ain't gonna just drop in a turbo and three months later my motor blows!
If anything just call me and give me the info personally
