Turbo's for 2001 SE

Hey guys I just recently bought a 2001 SE and I was wondering if it's possible to put on a set of twin turbo's. I have spare set off a RX7 and if it is possible to use them, then what would need to be changed, like the manifold and so on. If anyone knows let me know cause I'm kinda curious if this can work

P.S. I like the forum!!!

Since your new here... SEARCH...

Turbo charging the maxima is no easy task, takes lots of $$$ and lots of work, tuning, etc. No one offers a turbo kit for the max, so it's pretty much all trial and error. Single turbo...maybe, twin?...Good luck...

Jim Wolf doesn't want to do it yet because the computer will not comply with the turbo. The Maxima STE had many probs and does not yet work to well. The ECU rejects the turbo and shuts the car off. Sell the RX-7 turbos on e-bay and get a supercharger.

Gotta agree with 20th maxstyle, not only cause im supercharged but because the VQ will respond better and last much longer! Instant BOOST

Probably your best and cheapest bet until a better solution is found.

unless your a master mechanic and are up for a challenge.

If it works you could sell you design!
