This is kinda of a noob question...
Can someone tell me how much can a stock 95 maxima engine handle psi (from a turbo kit)

I am thinking on putting a turbo kit on my stock *** maxima after i rebuild my engine (currently the car has 152K and there is nothing wrong, but i will rebuild just for the turbo). I will probably throw in an intake. And i am not sure exactly what comes in a turbo kit... And also how much would it cost me to install all that stuff professionally?

 

Turbo kit is gonna run you at least 3 grand without everything you need. 8 PSI is what most people throw down. After install, you're looking at around 6 or 7 grand.

 

From what you're talking about, it sounds like you don't need to be buying a turbo kit until you do some reading. A LOT of reading. No offense, it just sounds like you have no idea what you're talking about.

 

Im running 15psi but its not typical either

 

You should be fine up to 26psi on stock internals.

 

3.5 swap buddy...

 

wow wth are you serious. I wouldnt run that much

 

neither would i.

 

get a civic, then you can run crazy horse power by just slapping some stickers on... one NOS decal will get you appx 243 hp before a tune

 

I agree with Tatanko!!!! Research...A LOT! Then when you think you're done, read some more.

 

then some more.......getting turbo is some serious sheeit.

 

I don't get it Are you implying the 3.5 can handle more power/boost/torque? Or that it's a better option than a turbo kit? Your post is very vague.

 

i dont have time nor storage... lol

 

i'd rather go to some professional people and talk with them...

 

Based on this post I'm sure you could blow it up before 6psi.

 

So why don't you do that instead of posting? Bring about 8K with you and end up with a so so "kit".

 

these "professional" people you want to talk to probaly have never seen a maxima and the will probaly try and convince you that they have optional 4 cyl engines.

They Don't?

 

Then why did you even make this thread? The point we're getting at is, if you're not educated on the subject you won't know how to drive, handle, and maintain a boosted car. Having someone build you one is one thing, owning it is another.

 

I suggest that you dont even drive a car. Why the **** would you rebuild an engine that is good?
I feel your maxima's pain.

 

I hope you crash your max to put it out of its misery.

Drive a civic or something.

 

what i would do is drive it until it needs to be rebuilt or you have a major problem and then upgrade it after you do some reading. its not as simple as bolting on a turbo.

Theres a link to the turbo that i am running on my max

 

After you build your motor with internals FOR the turbo (this means forged internals, upgraded rings etc.) you will need a tuning solution and much dyno time to tune. Probably using Emanage. Since that is what seams to work best. Kzoosho is the main person to talk with since he is on here a lot and is running more boost than most people successfully.

To answer "how much psi can you run" is hard since we don't know:
-What compression are you going to run after the engine is built?
-What size turbo?
-What size piping and intercooler?
-What size injectors do you plan on using?
-Are you planning on tuning it correctly, or just running it somewhat stock after the install?

These are the BASIC questions you need to answer before we can vaguely answer yours.

The comments towards you taking somewhere are b/c most people do not boost the Maxima with a turbo, unless it is custom work done by the owner. Shops are used to the norms of Hondas, 240s etc. Your Max is a bit different. There has been a lot of knowledge collected on here over the years, by a lot of people. These ARE the experts. We have made the mistakes on OUR cars and learned from them, then listed here. Enjoy your Maxima, be good to it and it will to you.

8psi is probably a safe guess....and yes like stated earlier, about 7-8 grand roughly will be the cost.

 

totally agree

 

 

This thread is a great example of why I don't come to the 4th gen forum anymore....

 

^^Seriously, I'm looking through all the threads and a bunch of stupid questions.Gets old.........

 

would this kit be any good?

 

Yes but the turbo is way too small.

 

this has fail written all over it.

 

if the turbo is too small, wat size do u think would be good and is there a kit out there that has it already

 

Im running a Turbonetics 60-1 and there isnt a kit that i know of that has a good sized turbo with it.

 

did u start off with a kit similar to it

 

LOL everyone keeps talking about engine this and engine that. Turbo this and turbo that lol, how come no one recommended upgrading suspension and braking first. It's obvious the noobie doesn't know much. Hey 19Max you just offended some people talking that professional nonsense, cause this website contains allot of information that no certified mechanic can brake down to you. Before you consider putting all that horse power under a hood, work on your suspension first. You can't handle power with out being able to maintain your car grounded.

 

i have a tokico suspension setup already, im not askin about suspension and brake setups, i want to know about turbo kits

 

ummm... you didn't start the thread, or is this your other account?

 

PLease go back thru this thread and you will see what i started with.
