Sc ?

If I were to buy the supercharger kit from stillen, would I need to purchase any other aftermarket parts to make it work better, i.e. aftermarket exhaust pipes, etc.

Also, does anyone know if Jim Wolf offers a turbo kit for our 5th gen maxima's?

Thanks.

No Turbo kit.

You would probably want to get a 3" y-pipe (as opposed to a 2.5") and a full catback to ensure the engine could breath.

I disagree, the stock stillen kit doesn't build enough boost to take advantage of a larger exhaust system. I only run 2.5 all the way through and its plenty. When you push over 10 psi it may be an issue, but the stock kit doesn't go near that.

Ok, that's good to know, now the serious stuff, price. Is it possible to get the sc kit cheaper than stillen's? I will do the installation myself with the help of some friends.

Ohhh my, my, my.....lets see. Well you SHOULD get a boost gauge and a Fuel pressure regulator maybe and adjustable BOV too. I've had my SC for about two months and I've had fuel flow problems since. Its nothing that cant be corrected mind you but, I had to get these mods to smooth out my fuel flow! I'll keep you guys posted on how it goes...those things areon order, they will be installed next week.

Things you should get: Gauges

If your an auto : vb mod, maybe a new tranny, different filter

If your man: New clutch and flywheel and short shift kit.

Things you might want: more boost


3" exhaust is for OVER 10lbs of boost, and if your doing that you need more than just an exhaust.
