READ ABOVE about search feature.

Have you considered supercharging instead?

Really ... Never thought of that ... thanks

BTW, I haven't considered anything ... I don't own a Max ... looking into one though for future family vehicle if there is an aftermarket for it.

If you are looking for a large aftermarket, don't get a 3.5L Max. Get a Honda or something. Civics have huge aftermarket support.

Thanks for your thoughtful insight In that respect, get a SB Chevy motor...more mods for that than anything on this Earth...

Just answer the man's question, that's all he wants.

FastCougar, there are enough mods and more in the pipeline for the 3.5L. In theory, the parts in use or development for the 350Z "could" be swapped into the other VQ35DE engines/platforms, and there are possibilities on the turbo and S/C front, although the S/C "might" be a ltitle more difficult at the moment. There are enough Nissan/Infiniti platforms that use the VQ35DE that aftermarket support will heed the call, especially with the 350Z and G35C.

I've spoken to these guys (www.cmperformance.com), and they're willing to do a custom setup once their twin-turbo Viper gets finished. They estimated somewhere in the 5-7k range for a custom setup.

That's about what I've heard from custom shops here in the ATL area...

why do you need a turbo for a family vehicle?

IMO, 2k2+ is the best family Maxima because you cannot do many things to it. So you dont have to worry about reliability issue, etc.


want to have fun? get a 2k 5spd GXE and boost it with turbo. or even better if you can get a 5spd 4th gen. I bet it is still cheaper than a new 2k3.
