What kind of turbo setup are you running to get 70 ft/lbs? That's a big gain.

Matt93se broke his crossmember (maybe twice?) before too. I think he's welded it up now and beefed it up a little.

stock Z's have somewhere around 230 ft. lb. of torque if memory serves me correctly. only being 20 ft. lb. more would be easily attainable having 9:1 compression, a better turbo, better intake manifold, and higher flowing exhaust. i personally wouldn't be surprised if it were a bit higher.

at 15% drivetrain loss (probably a bit low) i'm pushing 250 ft. lb. at the flywheel and i know his car is faster than mine at the moment. in the end the only way to find out would be dyno....

awesome

as far as I knew, he had a VG (~180 ftlbs) that he put a turbo on
his cardomain pics show that too

pretty clean looking setup (cleaner setup than other turbo guys in this thread - but if you're pushing 250 ftlbs then I'm definitely jealous no matter how it looks).

hey now... my setup is clean... in a redneck sort of way.

on the stock Z thing i was comparing a smaller turbo, factory intake and exhaust, crappy intake manifold, and 8.3:1 compression to what his setup would be.

I beefed up mine when I did my clutch because I didn't want to have to deal with it later.

OK mines went on me. Any idea if the cross member is the same for ve and vg? Where can i get a second one? I was driving and hit a pot hole and next thing my shifter is loose. I got it to the mechanic and got it on the lift, the member was about to brake completely on the front engine mount because it rotted away Help.

Junkyard? www.car-part.com? Dealer? Org classifieds? C'mon man, its just like any other Maxima part. Can the mechanic temporarily reinforce it while you search for a replacement?

ok help me out wat is a cross member... thanks

It's the beam that goes from near the bumper to the back of the engine bay, under the engine. It supports the engine.

update, my mechanic found a junk crossbeam and replaced it, and saw that my rear motor mount is gone. called local star nissan and he had a new one sent. this is adding up.

why buy an engine mount when you can fill it with polyurathane or similar? next time I have my engine out I am.

does anybody make stronger motor mounts and crossmembers for the 3rd gen? if matt (blehmco) found out a way to make them, that would be a worthwhile investment for my tax refund... along with his grounding kit... and a few other things.

fill your stock mounts with poly (or contact LordRandall about doing them for you), and I'll reinforce the crossmembers for $100 each, shipping included.
