well, I've searched through the stickies as well as google, but haven't found much. I was told here that putting a turbo on a GXE (VG30DE) is a reliable way to get huge horsepower gains. So my questions are:

1. Where can a turbo kit be found, and how much will it cost?
2. How easy of an install is this?
3. Do any other internal mods need to be done to accomadate the turbo?
-If so, what will be the total cost of everything together.
4. What is the average power gain from turbocharging (horsepower and torque)
5. Is it completely legal?
6. How will it affect the daily driving characteristics (auto tranny), as well as fuel economy.

Sorry for the n00bish questions. I'm looking at a '93 GXE in pretty good condition with 102k miles for $2750. Just trying to gather some info before buying.

www.cardomain.com/id/mtcookson has a write up on it

 

1 - if there was a "KIT" then we would all be rocking it..(ok maybe not)
2 - if you have to ask...fo-git-about-it
3 - internal mods...depends on boost
4 - see 3
5 - depends on where you live
6 - wave bye bye to stock tranny

 

hahah afigured that for the install

 

the maxima's actually have a vg30e, not the vg30de which is too big to fit in the maxima's engine bay.

you'll pretty much have to make your own kit as no one makes one for our cars. as shawn said, i have a bit of a writeup on my cardomain site http://members.cardomain.com/mtcookson

 

yup I just finished reading over your writeup. Well its not a project I can do well still in school, so it looks like I'll wait 'till summer. BTW, wahts the VG30DE engine from (if it exists). Thanks for the info as well

 

90-96 300ZX non-turbo and Infiniti J30 that i know of off the top of my head.

 

ah I see thanks

 

Doesn't seem like a bad buisness propisition for someone to actually create a sellable kit for our cars, eh?

 

How much money do you have RIGHT NOW that you can drop on a kit.


No payments, layaway, blah blah blah.

 

anyone have a write up for the VE?
