Hehe, you must be British. Here in the new world we call extractors 'headers' or 'manifolds'..........j/k

I'd definitely prefer selling to someone local because this is honestly a project. I'd like people to know what they are getting if they were to buy my setup. While I have concluded my turbo experiment, I think if someone has too much time on their hands and wanted to refine what I have done, I'd say go for it. What I have isn't pretty but it works, exahust leaks and all.

I would love to continue the turbo but I work f/t and attend school f/t which leaves me about 6 hours of sleep/leisure time a day. My car is not running right, I am going to do a comp. test tomorrow and hope that my rings are ok after a lot of detonations. I really just don't have time to do this right now, but it has definitely been fun telling people I had a turbo maxima and seeing their dogmatic disbelief until I showed off what I have done. Mike got a ride when the turbo was running real good, and it would spin in 2nd real easy. I am selling it cheap because its mostly my ideas that I am selling, the pipes and turbo aren't worth much besides the labor to do them. The turbo is used and may need rebuilding(I was going to do it before, but I was excited and didn't rebuild it then. approx. $120 for the parts).

My current plans include getting a Y pipe, and hoping I didn't damage my engine too much during the project. After riding around in some susp. modded maximas recently I could perhaps see some susp. upgrades in my future. I think I am going to stick to proven bolt ons since I have money but no time. I need to do a ton of maintainence/minor repairs to my car too.

I will also be selling a lot of the parts I got for the T/C like gauges, and a never installed FMU/fuel pump that may solve a lot of the problems with this project. BTW I will sell those separately.

As far as you Jim, when I get some time, I will take a bunch of pictures and email you them.

Who is Alan? If you know what you are getting and still want it, I will consider your offer even though you aren't local. It includes the T3 turbo(used, no guarantees, but its worked for me. It would be a good time to buy the rebuild kit ($120) and put new seals/bearings in it), the crossover, the downpipe(bolts right to the cat, also I don't know for certain it will work with autos; I fabricated it with the manual shifter linkage in mind), one pipe from the airbox location to turbo, one pipe from turbo to TB with integral BOV, one modified manifold for the turbo, a bunch of clamps and rubber connectors, and assorted oil/coolant lines. Its fairly bolt-on, you'll have to punch a hole in your oil pan for the drainback and splice into a couple coolant lines. I can give you all the diagrams you'd need to install. All of this is bolted to my car right now so it all works. You need to use a cone filter, stock airbox won't work, and you need to do what I never did--tuning. Some fabrication skill will most likely be neccesary, or your muffler shop could also help you.

BTW there is no intercooler, it boosts 5.5 psi unless you raise the boost, etc, etc. As I said before its a project with exhaust leaks, lousy welds etc..
