I will be going in Thursday and actually doing some of the work myself. We will do a pre-turbo dyno test to see where we are with CAI and Y pipe.
Wish me luck!

About how much will this base kit cost, how much power you expect outta it, and do you expect turbo lag ? (or do you have electronic assist?)

I have added a BOV for the PSSSSSSSSSSHT! and gone with the Tial wastegate.
As far as turbolag goes, this is something of a controversial topic. I am certain Turbomax will comment about the fact that I will have too much turbolag on my set up. I can only wait and see. If there is too much, I may request a change to the T3/T4 like Turbomax. Unclemax has an even bigger turbo G60-1 (I think) so we'll just have to wait and see. As far as electronic assist, I am not sure what you mean by that. If you are talking about boost controller, then yes, I will be adding that myself. Can't afford the price creep anymore! As far as other electronic assist - no. I will look into an custom ECU upgrade later.

I'm not incredibly well educated on turbos, but after reading this thread from beginning to end it really teaches you a lot. Thanks for leading by example Nigel especially for a budget turbo setup. With all these turbo setups in the works maybe eventually a cooperative kit can be made available to satisfy the needs of each prospective owner.
Best of luck to you and thanks for the updates.

I tried to do a search but "HP" is too short!
I am also at 5000ft above sea level, so that might have an effect.

YES! I was also wondering if these numbers are about right for a car with these mods? seems kind a low. 190HP is what the ads said. I know that's probably at the flywheel so 20HP lost?

Good luck with the turbo, I'd love to check it out this summer when I'm home in CO from school.

My Q45 has the T04E pushing 1.25 bar.
My 240SX will have the SR20DET (Red Top) shortly.
My Altima had the SR20DET, til I had a beautiful failure, now KA24DET.

Turbo is worth salvaging, spool quick as f*ck, but the motor aint cheap #1 and this one has been sold to a .org member, and is currently being installed. I told him exactly how to do it, and he's seen my machinery. He should be done in 2weeks or so. Then it'll get interesting. T3/T4 has more potential than the stock DET Turbo, given its the right trim. The T04E in my Q45 is there for a reason.

Do you happen to know what the difference is between this engine and the Max's? I am curious to know if the cylinders have been reinforced to run with boost. Would you happen to know what boost this runs/can run? Reason I am asking is I would like to understand how much boost I can run (safely?!?!). Our compression ratio is pretty high 10:1 so I am curious.
Also can this engine really fit into a max? It seems really big to fit in a max.

If you want the real skinny, contact jeff92SE, he is the Maxima Guru, and he is a wealth of information, so I've heard.

I am looking a little too far into the future here, but I am looking for engine block/component mods for engine fortification. If there is stuff already out there that would do the job such as from the Gloria I might consider that rather than custom stuff which often costs 2X- 3X more!

So what's going on?
Well I went to the exhaust place today, the turbo is in with all piping except intercooler, they'll start that tomorrow. I took some pics but forgot to bring my compact flash adapter home from work, so they're stuck on my camera right now .
My turbo is mounted reverse from Unclemax's. That was because of the oil feed was on that side. It doesn't look quite as nice as Unclemax's. It's not chromed! but it will be just as functional! I will definitely post pics tomorrow, since I have them now actually.
My tuner promised me completion by Friday, we'll se if that happens! If not my car will be with him for three weeks since I am going on business trip. Won't get to enjoy it for three weeks!

yeah it sucks that I can't play immediately!
Oh one more thing is the battery had to be relocated, there was no choice there. It will have to go in the trunk. So those guys interested in the kit, you'll have to take that into account too! I won't get to install it myself as planned, I am swamped with work this week before my trip...it sucks! Last week I took two days off work to do this but the timing was all wrong! I would have loved to have installed it myself. I may still try to squeeze some time in if he works late on it, I'll join in. May be I'll just take Friday off!

The whole world want to know!
Hehe! A pic is worth a thousand words! NO one was really interested until I posted these pics!
I have had a lot of requests to see it and also name of shop that did this.
1. Yes you can see it. I managed to postpone my business trip today for 1 week, so I will get to play with it for a few days. Those that live in Fort Collins, I will arrange to meet you if/when it is done.
2. I think I mentioned earlier in the thread that I will not mention his name until I am satisfied that everything works and is good. I don't want to refer people to someone that is bad. That would suck for you and for me!
There was a slip up today it seems. The guy that was supposed to tow my car back to the tuner from the piping place didn't show. I am sure it will not be done by Friday now.
As soon as it is done, I will post more pics with dyno results. I was perhaps over optimistic on the Dyno expectations. I said 300 HP at the wheels. If the S/C are only at 230 at the wheels, I'll probably have only 260-280. My tuner seems optimistic though. Only the Dyno will tell.
