Well, we've gotten our project Altima in now, and we have started on making the kit. In about 6-8 weeks we will have a finished product and then at that time we will need a maxima to come down so we can make the kit fit on the VQ35DE Equipped 5th/6th Gen maxima.

Who's ready for 350WHP

 

Haha, i'd do it but no where near you guys and hafta worry too much about warranty.

Pardon me while I go and cry now.

 

I am willing to take my car to El Cajon, but I think in my personal opinion , the price you quoted is too much for an experimental kit. You say you are only charging for parts , but I asked a few friends who work with SC's and Turbos, and they said it was a lot. I wish the best to this project. If it works , I might get it. Keep us posted !

 

Just out of curiosity would you compare some similar kits for me? Put together an HKS or Greddy or APEXi or Blitz kit using the following parts
-Turbo
-SS Manifolds
-Intercooler (polished)
-BOV
-Injectors x 6
-Downpipe SS304
-Fuel Management
-FPR
-Air Filter
-Intercooler Piping
-Fuel return / oil lines
-Couplings and hoses etc.
-Wastegate
Here I'll just give you guys an example so you won't have to.
Greddy
11520091 300ZX T/T 1990-96 TD05 $6,454.55
Includes - Twin Turbos, SUS Mani, DownPipe, 2WG Type-S, piping, hoses oil lines and misc. hardware.
Now where's the injectors? Wheres the intercooler? Where's the fuel management? Let's be fair and subtract lets say 1000$ for the price of one Wastegate and one turbo so we are at 5454.55

Now lets add on an intercooler, bov, and fuel management
-12020200 300ZX T/T 1990-96 (3) Type 14R 2x SL $1,318.18
-11501650 Type S Universal $227.27
-15500550 e-Manage (main unit) $379.00
-13500055 550cc $136.36 x 6

Grand total of...*drum roll*
$8194

Blitz
FORMULA KIT (bolt-on kit)
-Stainless steel equal length tubular manifold
-External wastegate
-Street trim turbo
-Complete downpipe, air filter, piping
-RX-7 FD3S Single Turbo Kit 13B-REW K27 $5000.00

Do you guys see where I'm coming from with this? I'm sorry I can't compromise my work with less quality. But it's top notch and I stand by it 100% along with my full 1-year warranty against manufacturer defaults. And I feel my prices are more then fair.

Just because its named HKS or Greddy or Blitz or Jun or APEXi doesen't mean its worth the extra 2000$. All my stuff is guaranteed, and you can compare craftsmanship with your own eyes.

 

Man the more you talk about this makes me want a turbo kit. Did you check all your post I believe there is somebody that can donate a 3.0 too.

 

We're still waiting on that one.

 

it will work good on automatic tranny?

 

Yes it will work good on the automatic tranny, also producing a lower safer number so your trannies can hold up.

 

lower safer number?

 

Move your shop to Toronto, I'd be in. Just don't tell the wife.

 

350WHP.......Booooiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnggggggg.

 

wish i could fork out some money - 350 is a nice number

 

damn ....350whp sounds so tempting...well...how much is this kit going to run.....then i will know how much i will have to save up...

 

I'm still waiting on the pricing from the Turbo Forum (for the 3.0 VQ).

 

so whats up with the 5th gen 3.0 L turbo kit?

 

Arent there a few kits out already? Kevs got one, dixits got one.

 

I think they took the 4th gens turbo kit and customized it to fit into their own (i think)

 

Sorry guys I'll check out the turbo forum, i keep forgetting about that one. But from what I understand those kits have fitment issues or something else.

 

Tucson, huh? Anybody got $8K they wanna loan me?

 

The projected price is about 5500-5700.

 

I my freakin gawd. I want tttttttttuuurbbbbbboooooo.
That's a damn good price. Is that going to be the production price or just for the experimentee? You say a lower, safer number for autos so it will be less than 350? Any projected numbers for that? Why do you rock so much?

 

Is that what the altima's making??? Plots please........Thank you.

 

For the autos, get a VB mod, tranny cooler, it should hold up ok. There are people with blowers on auto 3.0's that are pushin over 300 hp to the crank, right? With tranny coolers and VB mod, I dont see why us Automagics couldnt push 350 hp

 

Anybody got $5500-$5700 they wanna loan me?

 

ok guys, this is great news! There's an Alti in shop right now. So soon, we'll see an actual dyno number on what the engine will make. Also, we'll see a close approximation on what it will cost. So, whoever lives over there, scrape your pennys together and make arrangments with another car you've got a month and a half. i can't inderstand why the alti guys can always seem to get it together and we cant.

 

He's in Tucson, the fabrication shop is in Cali..

If the fab shop was in Tucson, I'd be 1st.

 

People that purchase from AZ are eligible for discounted installation prices due to state taxation reasons.

 

Build it and WE will come. You don't need to justify the price.

 

Installation price....DO YOU HAVE A SHOP IN AZ?!?!?!!? IF so, where?

 

No we are working on that, we just made a move from Phoenix, now we are just getting all our ducks in a row. We can't get to big in overhead or will starve.

 

Then what do you mean "discounted installation prices"? Drive to Cali to get it installed at a discount?

 

lol, no we are in with HPAutoworks where they are the exclusive distributor/installer in AZ.

 

Nice! I found their website: http://www.hpautoworks.com/, but where are they located?

Honestly, I don't care about the price...just quality/reliabilty bar-none, however I still have a warranty holding me back for now. That's soon going to change, so I'm "lining up my ducks" now.

 

When I get my built tranny, we shall discuss my boost needs I'm an auto, but my auto will definitely be able to handle 350+ WHP...

 

I would donate my car in a heart beat if you guys wasnt so far.

 

what u mean by lower safer number ?

 

Probably less boost, ie 275-300hp range. However, that's all a boost controller *click*click*click* away from whatever you can handle.

 

Is this still the wifeys car you're talking about?

 

wasnt there a person in Kentucky who did supercharge for about $4000 bucks for the 5th gen? i read this last year.... so I rememeber a lot about it. But thanks for the head up, I really want to know more about the turbo.. sounds very very tempting

 

again, sorry about post, im at work, I mean "So I DONT remember a lot about it"
