whats up guys, well i attended another car show in Baldhill/farmingville Long Island this past Tuesday night and I finally got a chance to grab some picks of the Turbo 3rd gen I was talking about, here are the links. Sorry I only got 3 pics but the guy was being a ***, and the car was parked to close to the other cars....

Enjoy!

 

out of all three pics this is got to be the best one!!!! *DROOOOOL* ----->

 

Man your talking about drooling......I had to change my pants 4 times!!

 

I finally came to my senses after licking the screen for about 5 minutes. One thing is for sure: no photoshop. That is the true thing.

I have to go change my pants now.

 

Yo MAX420 let me know when your going to another Baldhill car show, I'm about 25min away from that area. I'd love to check out that max.

 

hey i got one small question in that interior picture on that max he has a 5"tach and a shift light when he has a automatic is there a reason for this maybe to time the nitro if he has any?? but why???? o well just bugging me sweet car though

alohas,

From what I can see from the pics.. looks like he isn't using alot of boost. Judging from the way the intake manifold and the intake piping to the Turbo and also the fact that there's no intercooler must mean that he's running no greater than 8psi, plus it's an automatic. I've noticed that even an upgraded auto tranny (such as Level 10 stage II) will not hold up to big boost. Also, I've been looking at the motor and it's hard to tell but it looks like he's using a the stock VG30E motor. If only I could see more pics of the engine bay I could figure out how he's running the Turbo setup. Looks to me like he just got new exhaust manifolds, Y-pipe, downpipe and relocated battery. Pretty simple don't ya think? hehehe..

 

enh..i mean boost is boost..but his install looks a little messy. but would something like 4psi-6psi would give u something?

 

4psi is the point where boost is not worth the trouble. 6psi is fine since the stock Z Turbo uses 6psi. With 6psi gains are noticable and the hp output is around the 190-200hp range (around 160-170fwhp dynoed). The problem with this turbo setup in the pic is the intake pipe to the throttle body does not look mandrel bent (or maybe it is, just a bad pic) and the diameter is too small for big boost. I think if you were going to Turbo the max.. I would consider 8-10psi with Intercooler on the stock VG30E motor assuming everything is upgraded for higher boost such as fuel system. Even if your running 7-8psi on the stock VG30E I still would recommend Intercooler because of the 9:1 compression just to be on the safe side.

 

Having an aftermarket tach is always a good thing. The stock tach is not 100% accurate. With an aftermarket tach, the RPM is much more accurate and you can also dial in your shift points with help of the shift light.

 

Hey Eric 93 Se, no problem , you can come along, its next tuesday night at 6 p.m., me and a 2ndmax from the 4th gen board are going to go to the show, let me know for sure, email me at fireitupbr@aol.com and ill give you directions, catch you later. peace

 

Skymax, i got one more photo, its a closer shot of the engine....hope it'll help out with your determination......~~~~~~~> http://albums.photopoint.com/j/ViewP...p=50425748&f=0

 

Well, I have to say that is one ugly install. Looks like he ran into budgeting problems and decided to lower the quality level. I mean, is that dryer vent hose on the driver's side beside the filter? Come on! It is a Max engine gone turbo. If you look you can see the AAC valve. Also, the intake is in the wrong place and I didn't see a dust cover. He also still has the valve cover with the rise in it for the oil. I give it ** (2 stars) for effort only. I bet it's more show than go.

 

Maybe so... but it'll still beat my VG in the 1/4 mile! lol
