I may sound stupid asking this question but I am completely clueless about turbocharging a maxima. I was wondering where on the internet or anywhere I can purchase a turbo kit for a 2000 5spd Maxima? I've been looking forever and have found nothing. Any suggestions or recommendations???? Thanx alot.

 

The Max has a pretty high 10:1 compression ratio. Due to that you can only give it a mild boost of around 2-4psi. Considering the cost and installation/setup this is hardly worthwhile.
For best results you need to buy and install low compression (8:1) pistons. That should enable you to run 15 psi boost on pump gas for an output of around 350-400 hp depending on mods and exhaust system.
Hope this helps.

I thought all the turbo maximas were pushing higher psi than that, cloer to 8 and 10 psi.

 

Pretty smart for a newby.

 

You can push more than 4psi. Some people have done 12+ psi on stock internals. I would run about 6-8, maybe 10 on race gas. Tuning is the key.

 

I've gone as high as 12.76 psi (stock internals), but I run 10 psi on the streets.

There are actually some "newbies" that know what they are talking about but not too many. Yea the 3 VQ30DE motor does have a 10:1 compression ratio, but its internals are not weak and will handle a healthy amount ov boost be4 any problems arise. Tuning is the key and if your run lean on boost/nitrous the motor is pretty much done for, BUT get it right and the 3.0 block had proven to handle up to a good 500hp at the flywheel. Mardi's 4th gen had I belive 15psi coming form a V1 S/C accompanied by a 35shot of nitrous but his tuning was dead on. I would say safley the 3.0 block doesnt really need anymore then 5-6 psi (around the 270whp range)on the street and even that (if you have any common sense) is too much to use on the street. At the track id personally would run up to 10-12psi but only on race gas and pefect tuning, otherwise 8 would be the limit.
btw- I do not have a turbo
