it has been brought up before. someone mentioned a car with a twin turbo set up in the passenger side cabin. well i found this.... here it is.

all i can say is wow. thats gotta be really hot and loud

 

that set up is uterly stupid and not very good to be functional for high power.

 

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Auto, And wow thats gotta be hot.

 

I tried to resist posting, but that set-up is an embarrassment. If done right, you CAN place both turbos under the hood. There are 3rd gen setups with the T3 in stock Z31 location in Max. You add another, how most of us have, above the tranny, and there you go. Anyway, I wouldn't even claim that thing unless I had images of all that wreck covered and some symblance of a Max presented. Is he applying to Monster Garage?

 

well the idea was kinda cool. twin turbo nissans are always fun... so i thought. but how much fun can you have on a hot summer day with very hot pipes right next to your arm. just doesnt make much sense to me.

 

the idea i agree is great but how he did is very dumb! i Guess if he is going to build a 1/4 mile car for the track than who cares your only in the car for a few minutes but for a daily driver i think that is idiotic. and i am no expert of turbo set ups any any manner but isn't the intercooler suppose to go upfront so that the rushing air coming in cools down the air being sent threw the turbo? grated he has a little hood scoop but after all that time and effort wouldn't have it been better to locate it in the front like usual? maybe he wanted a set up similar to a SUBARU? and am i mistaken is that his air intake box next to his passengers window?

wouldn't you actually lose some of the power your creating but having all the extra plumbing going back and fourth?

like i said i am no expert any any ways but to me it seems like a lot of extra work for potentially less results compare if he would have done it right. like i said i may be wrong and maybe that all the extra plumbing won't hurt but that is that much more everything has to circulate

 

Sadly you are not...


Besides you guys are missing the big picture here:

 

yea, my first thoughts were "kool TT 3rd gen"

then some pics "wow, that must be hot as hell in that car"

i was expecting MUCH better the scoop looks cool IMO

 

twin turbos can be done without having to put the turbos inside the cab juz limited to size in turbos but it can be done if u look behind and lower of the vg-ve blocks on the back there is room to put one turbo there if u can get it done right and the second tubro could be done infront of the motor but i would recommend thermal wrapping it to keep heat down since it is sitting near the radiator

 

Kindof defeats the purpose of twin turbo. I guess it works just kindof makes the car worthless. Id be interested to see what 1/4mile times are just for kicks. Cant be that much faster.

 

lol yeah with all that extra piping plus it being an auto it prolly aint all dat fast plus he even stated with he is using very small turbos to do the whole thing so what can u really get out of using small turbos with all that extra piping.

hey mattster i was out by port orchard bout what near beginning of august went to ocean shores :P

 

You went by my little town eh?

 

Pray for No exhaust leaks.

 

Just do the maxima exhaust mod #43

Roll d'hem windows down...

 

RoFl

 

This could be what NCSU_MAX was talkin about in this thread from a few days ago: http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=492229

Very interesting setup Im not surprised why the guy chose to do what hes doing.. Look at the forum hes posting at.

 

i didn't want to dog that factor beings how i have one

well if you look at the pic you can see the light shinning threw under the car, there is hardly no floor board in the passengers side. but yeah a little carbon monoxide poisoning never hurt anyone

 

WTF LOLLERCOPTERS

 

Eventually Darwin will catch up.... probably in about 500 miles when the tranny blows (again)

 

yup i did dude and let me tell u going to ocean shores from spanaway is a good 2 and a half hour drive in one direction.

 

this has to be the wierdest boosted maxima i've seen since i joined this board...

 

IS the the ground i see through the passenger floor?

 

wtf WHAT A WASTE of good time and yes you get the idiot of the year award

 

well i least he doesn't have to really worry about the exhaust/turbo rusting.
oh and nothing like instant heat in the winter.

 

Well I wouldn't have believed it w/o pics that's for sure. I would say sleeper look when you open the hood but it's hard to avoid not looking in the window.

Dates are probably fun

 

What's the point?

 

Is it me, or is he trying to make the exhaust perfectly parralel to the engine? I remember in tech school the teacher was tellin us something about the exhaust being best if it's mounted perfectly inline with the exhaust ports.

 

what in the flying ****!?!?

nice work I guess, but damn...

 

That turbo set up is nice but i would put a big single turbo instead of two small turbo's. Plus i don't think the car will produce much power b/c of the turbo size.

 

I would rock that in a heartbeat




All fast cars have the turbo inside the car.




The air filter is a little ghetto though. I probably would be able to resist putting the air filter where the muffler usually goes

 

you should ask him for a ride






oh wait

 

What a joke.... that setup is.

 

Depending on tuning skills, it could turn out to be just as fast as any well done turbo kit. But.... that thing is possibly the most hideous, dangerous, Darwin Death Trap ( TM ) safety violation in the world.

 

You have a problem with NC?

Bring it *****.

 

i wonder if he even know that you can have turbo oil drains coming out the side... and almost tilted up a bit..

 

In A Few word ummmmmm?? Too much time too waste. And also at least in the winter months that person will be warmed up as far as seasonal ummmmmmmmmm?

 

Watch your mouth tough guy.

 

I wonder what he's shooting for. I bet he simply wanted a unique design that nobody has ever done.

That's not really my sort of thing. But some people like to go against the grain and do something that's much harder just to be on a level of their own.

More power to this guy. I'd love to check out the car someday. Hopefully at a track meet.

MaximaDrvr, if you're reading this, send me a message sometime. I'm always interested in doing a track Maxima meet.
