Well, is it possible? Has anyone tried it? I have a few mods such as intake, y-pipe, etc... and really want to do something original. Can a 300zx's Twin Turbo fit into the max? How about a good ol' T66 Turbo? I heard something about the maxima's compression ratio being to high for a turbo? Let me know if any of you have tried this or who i can talk to about helping me out with this project.

Yeah its the best mod we have for the maxima. Although its quite expensive. Our VQ engines can hold up to 1 bar quite safetly although turbomax95 has gone mpre than this. Czar has also gone to 1.3 bar in his 3rd gen VG. If you dont want to use the VQ, Drop in a VG30DETT. they are a bolt in. You will need to get a RWD conversion as well, but these are really dare. Clee130 has the RWD conversion, but I think hes the only one. Actually SprintMax has the RWD too. Medicsonic has even run a suercharger AND a turbo, but the gains were so little it wasn't worth it. What ever you do, be sure to drop a tornado air in there.

Cheers. Let us know how you get on!

 

check my profile..

 

Yes... it's possible!

I don't understand you people, how come you always say it's impossible, huh? You all just haters!

Just look at me, I did a RWD conversion without all you fools!



You all just have no faith in people, what's wrong with you all? We're here to help and give each other support so don't be dissing on each other!

























Huh? Oh... wait ... the drugs to help me calm my mind are kicking in .... ahhhhhhhhhhh ... there we go... check up top in the thread titled "4th Gen FAQs" ... it has the word Important in front of it.

 

May I make a honest suggestion? Your questions indicate you have MUCH to learn about forced induction and internal combustion engines in general.

Your post(however entertaining to everyone else) doesn't exactly put you in the best light knowledge-wise.

Instead of asking a questions like the ones below, do a search on this site and do the same on the internet. www.howstuffworks.com is probably a good place to start for the very basic basics like you really need here.

Small steps my friend. You can't go from kindergarden to college in one step ya know?

 

hehe, i know everyone been giving you a hard time bout your questions, its cause there are guys that post this stuff all the time and ALOT of people are sick of answer these questions. a T66 turbo in my opinion is WAY too big for the Max. 300ZX turbos? juss cause their from the Nissan big bro doesnt mean they fit, in theory any turbo will fit any car. its juss the amount of modifications you want to do to it. If you got a buttload of cash and a good shop then maybe consider it.

 

Hey, could you PM me and tell me what exactly you did to make your Max a turbo??? You can also catch me on AIM w/ JDawgX38

NZ u forgot your sarcastic brackets [putting sarcasm suit on][/utting sarcasm suit on]

 

 

 

You don't have to be a ****.

He's a newbie, give him a break.

 

you can put a turbo on a maxima. just know that you will spend more money to do it than what it would cost to buy a good used turbo car. (over $10,000) you will also have a lot of weeks without your car. Also know that you will have to spend large additional ammount of money to fortify the engine and transmission to take the new power. It is possible to do this for less but you need some serious contacts to do it. still interested? if so then good luck

 

how much HP will SC give?
haha flame me if u want... sheesh.. i know im stupid

 

 

it will give about 75 - 80hp running at 6.5psi This doesnt sound much but this is what gets to the wheels. the supercharger itself takes about 30hp to run I heard but don't quote me

 

THANK YOU!!!!!

 

Your welcome fair maiden

 

ummm...there is alot of stuff involved. if you have some question from me why dont you IM or private message me? dont take this the wrong way, but when your hungry you go to a resturant to eat, you dont expect the waiters to go to you rite? im willing to help you out but i dont really have the time and patience to play 100 questions.

 

First of all; some of you guys on the .org are just a bunch of ******. Others of you are very helpful. I dont give a $H!T if you feel that i'm a neebee cuz i asked if you can put a turbo on a 97 maxima. Also, there are people who have done it and my main question was how it is done and does anyone know who can have it done for me (i'm in the Wilmington, NC area). So, if you have helpful advice please reply to my post, if not dont waist your or my time.

 

 

It's just that it seems that you haven't done any research before posting here. If you had come on asking a specific question, then I think you would have been taken more seriously. But you didn't really do any research, you just expected people to tell you everything about it. Put it this way, if you're not serious enough about it to research it on your own, then you're not serious about it and you have absolutely no idea about the cost/effort/difficulty of doing this project. Yes, it is possible to turbocharge a '97. Unclemax is doing it right now. But he doesn't post here asking random questions that show ignorance about the subject, so people don't make fun of him. The people who are serious about this have already talked to their local shops, have already done independent research, and have already figured out what needs to be done on their own. A turbo isn't something you come here to ask.
The guys are being ****** because they get tired of hearing the same question. Do a search on the subject and you will find dozens of people who asked the exact same general questions you did. They didn't do their research either. And do you know how many of them actually have a turbo now? None.

 

This is what most people noticed:
"Can a 300zx's Twin Turbo fit into the max? How about a good ol' T66 Turbo? "

This is why you got picked on, so you are wasting our time. Do a search and you should find lots of useful info.

 

OUCH.... There hundreds of questions that you would need answers to, so my advice, as the others have stated is do some research for the basics, then ask more specific questions. If you sound like you know what you're talking about people will be glad to respond, people like talk about turbo's especially if you are serious. Here are a few basics about the turbo...

1. A T66 is TOO big, a turbo works of you're exhaust, a large tubro takes too long to spool up, creating lag.

2. On stock internals you cannot run more than 7-10 lbs of boost, because of the compression. If you are planning on rebiulding the engine, then you could drop the compression, have stronger internals, and run more boost. (1 bar is 14.2 lbs of boost)

3. Don't try and use a VG30DETT, it won't work, sorry to be the pesimist. You can do a turbo, with lots of custom work (pipes, intake manifold, mounting brackets, engine managment), and 5000+ dollars. You're car will be in the shop every week, and it will take a couple months for most people to figure out how to install it....

 

Sheesh. Try to be nice and see what happens.

Turbo95, this one is all yours.

 

DUDE, that is PRICELESS!!!!

 

AUHH, what is that silver thing, looks fancy....

 

you are in NC.. the best advice i can give you..

call up these guys http://www.eiptuning.com some time ago the offered to do basic turbo kits for the maxima for $5000 .. they might still do it..

i calld them up for a kit with 400 fwhp.. and with all the stuff i was getting the price came to $12,000.. that was a little too rich for my blood..

call them up.. they can tell you what you need.. what you don't need.. and how to help you.. their tech department is very helpful.. they will probably tell you more than you will ever learn here..

TECH LINE 410.876.1336

 

Seems that this should have been the first and only reply to this post. Nice to see someone not flaming but actually giving decent info. I understand that people are frustrated answering the same questions all the time. But you probably asked the same things when you were new to the board. Just remember, everyone has a dumb question now and then.

 

Not that dumb!

 

Sorry, didn't mean this question, just some in general. Seems that no one likes to give advice anymore.

 

I love to give advice. I just don't enjoy give the same advice 100 times. Especially when all that advice is available just by searching around.

 

stop whoring in my forum jeff

 

Your forum?? I could OWN this forum!

 

Sprint what kind of mods were you looking at that would bring you up to like 400HP at the wheels? I know that even with a SC it brings you up around like 230 at the wheels or something. Just curious to see what the 12K would have been for.

SuDZ

 

Jet chip, Tornado and Spirlmax, electric supercharger, 10 yellow stickers and 4 gallons of Slick 50.

 

hey jran hows germany? that is where u are right? cant remember

 

T3/T4 Turbo and piping
Engine Management (stand alone ECU)
Engine work (rods/pistons/copper head gasket/injectors)
Boost Gauge
Blow Off Valve
Front Mount Intercooler
Clutch/Flywheel

and a host of other stuff.. i deleted the invoice.. don't get me wrong.. it wasn't over priced.. when i went over the parts and the figures.. everything added up perfectly.. but i had only had the car for 2 months and i bought it for 10k.. and i wasn't ready to dump 12k that quick into the car..

would i do it now? hell yeah.. actually depending on funds next summer i might just get $13k and leave the car with them.. let them do their thing.. i am still thinking though.. my other option is like what phil has.. 14 PSI Supercharged w/ NOS and engine work.. i am still debating though.. i would prefer the Turbo.. but for $13k i can do so much with SC and NOS..

 

My cousin is considering the same deal next summer with his imprezza dropping it off for a while and 12K later having somethign real nice. How is it that people adjust the PSI on a supercharger? I know like with boost controllers on a Turbo how to do it but curious on a supercharger. What is it stock?

 

Aren't they like 17-20k new? Add 13K? I could have probably a BPU++ Supra and 400-500hp for that. And have room for 200 more hp on stock internals.

 

Replace the pulley size running the supercharger.
I think stock is around 6psi, but I could be off.
