How High of boost can you run on a VI or V2
I was wondering how high of boost can you run on a SuperC , I herd that the highest u can go on a stock maxima to be safe was 9psi...
Is that true?
Or can the Stillen superC just not go higher then 9Psi ?
Well what if
You used the same idea the turbo maximas are doing by building there motors with internals from a VQ30DET
would it work/help? vq30det internals on a superC setup?
then would u be able to run higher boost?

I don't think it matters if you have an auto or manual Jaime. The boost should be the same. I asked Matt about this a long time ago, he told me it shouldn't matter.

Well if you can run as high as boost as you want then why does the superC fall short to Turbo? Why not build your motor, with Vq30det internals and push 15-18 pounds of bost? can it be done?

Because it's not all about boost. Boost doesn't matter, it's the cfm's that matter. Your engine doesn't care what pressure the air is coming in at, just how much of it is coming in. A small turbo at 20 psi may not push as much power as a larger turbo at say 10 psi. Same with the SC, it just doesn't flow as much air as the turbo kits do. Keep in mind that the turbo kit available for the Maxima runs a pretty big turbo, that's why Nigel sees the numbers he does.
And there is a limit to how fast you can spin the SC. So there is a limit to how much boost you can run.

Make sure you get an intercooler. It runs pretty hot with the Supercharger. I can only image how hot the engine bay gets with hot exhaust gases recirculating inside there with the turbo kit.

What if you build the motor, run a superC and shiiit load of nitrous too, would be posabale?

sc: 2.xx pully
nitrous: 50 shot
could be done. has been done (i think). you could see a fast maxima but like dko said, traction becomes and issue, so does your tranny and over all health of the VQ

What do you think and why?

I debated that myself for several months & opted for the SC. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the Turbo option, but my requirements were not extremely high. My first and foremost MUST-HAVE was utmost reliability & all season driveability for a daily driven car. I have NEVER been to the drag strip & don't plan on it either. I am running a 3.33" pulley & although there are times, I feel like I could use a few more ponies, I refuse to go down on pulley size. I am satisfied with 250-260 wheel hp. I keep up with Z06 & have spanked Camaro SS, Corvettes...even a WRX.
Before you go any boosted route, open up that exhaust...minimum 2.5" axle-back. You can still safely get upto 300 wheel hp by going with a 3.125" pulley & Variable Intake. This option has been proven to be quite reliable...and you will not have 1000+ degree F exhaust gasses running through your engine bay.
IMHO, Nitrous is bad news for any application, so I will leave it out of this discussion. If you seek >300 wheel hp, Turbo is your ONLY choice. However, I agree with dko that all this power on Front wheel drive Maxima may not be very useful. You will require Limited Slip Differential, stronger engine mounts & definitely beefier Clutch at a minimum. You may also require to upgrade your MAF sensor & throttle body, for they were designed to work with 190hp & not 400hp!
So, based on your requirement, chose your route. Turbo will cost you more...including parts & installation. But with all additional upgrades, you may see yourself running high 12's.
