Couldn't find it in the search so I figured nobody has mentioned it.

Someone go broke buying one and let us know how it goes, thanks!

 

Link = invalid


Checked the site, for that matter they have a universal turbo for all gens.

Doesn't mention much of a "kit" to include manifold, piping, etc.

 

It's only money!

 

to be honest i wouldn't dare put the torque that a turbo'd 3.5 would chuck out anywhere near a stock CVT trans. If you can figure out how to either build the CVT or swap in the 5spd ATs/6spd MTs then mess around with boost.

 

you could boost it but not more then 5-8psi or you will blow the CVT it alrdy happened to addidas2go and to do a manual swap.... well HA thats gonna cost you 1400+labor which will run you about $3000 which is MY PRICE your price will be getting raped.

heres a hint you need to purchase BOTH the front AXLES for a manual tranny

and those turbos are to big to max out @ 8psi you could spend $200 on a turbo and do 8psi

 

Well duh its going to be expensive. You will be dropping close to 4-5Gs just for boost ALONE, and thats do it yourself. Ask me how i know......

Yes i know about the whole axle deal, and the price even for a 6th/5.5 gen to go MT it would cost them a good bit over $1600. Even 4th gens that swap to 6spds are paying that price.

If somebody is gonna take this project on they will need deep pockets(and thick skin)

 

well i have a lot of connections in the car modifying business my boost setup is $2800 w/ install (not close to 4-5k)
to be specific turbo, bov, wg, intercooler $800 + $1500 install + $500 tune. (gonna upgrade injectors/FP when i do more then 8psi)

tranny swap for me $550 for tranny, links, shifter, pedals, ebrake
axles both $400
install $1200

this is my price....

 

You are not the only one with "connections".

But boost on stock injectors? That better not be on a VQ35, you will blow that motor in a week. And what about electronics? Stock ECU wont hold a tune. Fuel pump? Gauges?

So you said $2800? ok just a rough estimate on stuff you left out:

Decent injectors, Used: $200. New: $400
Electronics: Used: $400 New: $700
Fuel pump: Used: $150 New: $300
Gauges: Used: $100 New: $175

Used stuff price: $850 New: $1575

If you think the trans swap is gonna be that cheap aswell....you forgot clutch and flywheel even if you were swapping in a 5spd that is another ATLEAST $500 you have left out.

There is no amount of "connections" that are going to cut that price down. Even if they did labor for free, you will be nickle'd and dime'd up to 5Gs. Its just the way it is with these cars we have it figure things out for ourselves. No 2 boosted cars on this site are alike every single one of them is different because things have to be individual pieced together until things work. Sorry but if you want to mod a maxima you have put on your work clothes and do it yourself.

 

lol i like how you seem to think you know what youre talking about....

OH **** I HAVE TO BUY BOTH AXLES??

dude its a lot more then that...axles would be the least of your worries at 60 bucks a pop.....400 dollars for axles? are they custom....?? thats your cost? wow horrible

that said tho, yeah op, a turbo is a turbo is a turbo....its how the piping bolts up to the manifold....and your exhaust piping as well...also not to mention the fuel/electronics.

the cvt sucks, and to do a manual swap would cost more then the mere 1400 his cost. go play with your one header dude

 

Fits on:
Universal

 

lol @ $1400 for 6spd swap. your fidanza flywheel, clutch and oil is $800.

expect to pay $10,000 for a properly running 6spd 7th gen turbo conversion.

 

the tranny swap alone would cost a ton, unless you could honestly do it yourself...but what are you going to do for an ecu...run a 6th gen ecu...standalone....?

 

6th gen ECU wont work with the 7th gens VQ35. You would have to trick the ECU to thinking its in neutral at all times. Hopefully the 7th gen doesnt have the gay feature where you cant rev past 4k in anything but drive.

 

yes i know it wont work without a ton of wiring, and loss of functions....im not saying it would dude

 

I would like to see it done but whoever does it will need to have a ton of time, money, dedication and especially thick skin as i was saying earlier.

 

And yet there is a full manual 6 speed swap with ecu for sale for $1500 in the classifieds.

 

um:

 

That is exactly what was done to a 540i Wagon when they did the 6 speed swap. The Canbus was hacked and the ECU was tricked into thinking the car was in neutral. Not to mention the pain in the rear for something a little as having the reverse lights working. 3k for a 6 speed swap in my 7th gen. Thats a steal!

 

Looking to get a turbo for my car, do they make this for the 7th gens? and if so what do you guys reccomend? Need to be able to beat out 335i's hahaha.

 

yeah the ifukzwitu cat is a clown and holds to his name...doubtful he has headers...and saying thats his cost for ****....right dude...do it then

 

thats not gonna go over well..

 

Did you just read this thread? Everything you just asked is laid out right in front of you, READ. Jesus Christ.

 

I'm straight up waitin for IFuxWItUZ to come out with some crazy **** and shut up all these ghey *** 7 gen Haters. Cus its always the same two or three guys talkin smack and Im tired of seeing their posts in this section of the forum, we get it you dont like the 7 Gen now move on with ur ****enn lives.

 

if its anything dealing with turbos its gonna be a long wait.

 

high expecations from someone with a screen name that reads "IFuxWItUZ"......

 

with 8psi or less u dont need injectors....they alrdy did it to the VQ35 altima speed force racing doesnt upgrade injectors till over 8psi but you guys are smarter i keep forgetting lmao

stock ECU does hold a tune....but they reco a piggy back for the stock ECU and i alrdy know which company makes them...but then again you guys are too smart i should let yall talk LMAO

yeah ifuxwituz is a nice screen name right...i made it for the people that have 5th gens that have 260whp lmao


you guys keep forgetting that we dont have the same VQ35 you clowns have...so go back to the 4th 5th and 6th gen forums

and why dont u just send me a pm with your number so i could show you the fake headers, block off plates, pulley, exhaust, ypipe....im sure we could set something up =) you guys should have a edge with 300pounds less then my boat has


oh and btw i got a tranny (clutch and flywheel is included with the tranny but you smart so you alrdy know that), (2) links, axle's, shifter, pedal, E-brake for $850 sitting at my boys shop for me to pick up ..... so n e thing else you wanna say?

and you really count gagues? thats only 100-200bux for 3-4 its not that serious when you spending thousands of dollars...but then again the ebay guys go hard counting pennies

and trust me the connects I have i doubt you have and the only thing im getting used is the manual swap....why am i gonna spend $5000-7000 on a new parts when i got them from a crashed nissan (that gotten hit from passenger side doors back) for under $2000 ... then again you got connections also lmao

 

Im trying not to be mean or saying you cant do it but educate you. PSI is NOT the say all end all with boost. Its more dependent on the size turbo you are running, I can have a small turbo on 8psi and it will only make 300whp on a VQ35 or i can put a big turbo on it and at 8psi make over 400whp, The SIZE of the turbo is more important than PSI. Also it doesnt not matter what VQ35 you have with any decent sized turbo you WILL need bigger injectors. This is not a matter of running less than 8psi. Those 290cc or 315cc injectors you have on that car will not support much over 300whp.

Why did i count gauges? Because they add up in total cost, they dont just appear out of then air.

STOCK ECU WILL NOT HOLD A TUNE. A reflashed ECU will. Even then you will still need to factor in how you are going to control boost, You cant just slap a wastegate on and expect it to take care of everything, you will boost spike all the time. And what about AFRs? Datalogging?

Seriously im trying to put things in perspective not get on you, usually i would have flamed the ***** off you. But you need to do more research, and a lot more. You are talking about getting parts off a wrecked as if people on this forum are too stupid to figure out to go get parts off a wrecked car. Its obvious most of us have been doing this a lot longer than you.

One thing you need to learn is "connections" will not get you **** if you dont know what you are doing or talking about which it is obvious right now you dont, because quite a few of us are hooked up and have people that are willing to go to great lengths for us. Seriously sit back go on my350z or the boosted section on this site and read up on boost. Because VQs are VQs. Im telling you this stuff because I have owned a boosted car and right now i am boosting my car.

 

7th gens are fine, look sweet, but the drive train sucks...that is all

all i see is blah blah blah im a troll....

post pictures of these headers and ill shut up...

funny thing is those 7th gen vqs have only a few differences between other vqs...are you completely stupid...talking **** about 260whp...i mean with the loss in the cvt im sure youre looking at maaaaybe 230whp...but tell me how are you going to find out when you cant dyno the thing.............you have a plastic uim, better flowing heads and a few other things...yay...all offset by the 3-400lbs weight difference in your car...is the 7th gen more refined in comfort and other aspects sure, its newer...faster, no

ps youre still a clown...bad troll is a bad troll

 

at 7th gen owners. I hope he does too. Ill be waiting.

 

Never understood why previous gen owners on this forum feel the need to flame 7th gen owners in this section. I go to the 6th gen forums for legit (well sometimes legit) tech info regarding the VQ35 motor to educate myself on what's possible with these engines.

"is the 7th gen more refined in comfort and other aspects sure, its newer...faster, no". Everything I've seen stock for stock, the 6th gens are running mid to high 14's in the 1/4 bone stock. I personally ran a 13.93 @100.5 bone stock in my 2010 with a crappy 2.20 60ft. The 7th gen is not slow, then again it's no CTS-V.

 

No flaming the 7th gen itself, besides the fact that it's a CVT...if it wasn't, I'd consider getting a new one because personally I love the new styling. Until then yes I'd much rather spend the money and get a CTS-V.

As far as speed, there are tons of variables that can have to be considered. Generally speaking however same time same place type of race, I've never seen a 7th gen overtake anything with a VQ35...

 

Im not flaming, im just putting things in proper perspective.......although its kinda hard not to when you have a "GT-R start button" listed as a mod, you might wanna remove that from your sig.

 

I've seen 6MT 350Z's struggle to hit high 13's. Yes, there are many variables (DA, track temp, driver, tires, tire pressure, ambient temp, track prep, etc etc etc). I raced a 2009 Challenger R/T at MIR speedway and got him by 2 tenths stock for stock. You say you've never seen a 7th gen overtake anything with a VQ35. How about one that overtakes a muscle car with a 5.7L V8 and 375hp?

 

Go ahead and tell that to numerous owners of 370Z's.

 

You're right 7th gens are simply amazing and fast. Perfect for speed. A TRUE 4DSC....

 

dude what are you talking about ??? you come into this thread and discount the knowledge and experience of OG members (some of which who have been around this motor and boosting it long enough to know a thing or two) by rubbing your "connections" in our face? you talk about connections and finding a boost kit off a wrecked car like nissan's come boosted from the factory and you can stop by any salvage-yard to pick up parts. You spit out numbers on used parts when in reality a lot of people would rather have new parts that arent beaten. $200 for gauges? my autometer electric boost gauge alone was a $200 item. if you want to slap parts together to spool up a few pounds then go ahead but if you want a properly running car with quality parts then you WILL spend $10,000 on a 6spd swapped 7th gen turbo as i told you previously. heck a set of nice DEFI gauges alone will run you $1000. i dont know about you but running fuel lines inside my cabin for the sake of monitoring the fuel pressure aint my thang.

 

Never said that at all. Nor do I consider it to be a true 4-door sports car. A 4-door with "sporting" intentions? Yes. But not a barn-burner by any means when it's got a 60/40 front weight bias, fwd and no 6MT.

 

also too much ego in this thread with all this BS performance talk. we all need to realize that at the end of the day we all own wrong wheel drive (some of you even wrong transmissions) to sit here and slap each other in the face over dispalcement difference and transmission type. in reality we all drive grocery getters that are $hit in the performance department compared to SIMILARLY priced cars available in the market. instead of all this pointing fingers, how about we all shut up and pack up our VQ's and use our cars for its purpose? cruise around the town in a comfortable 4 door sedan. maxima's are not performance cars and a turbo one will provide the LAWLS to those that fly down the 1/4 in low double digits with $5000 in mods.

 

indeed - i parted out my mods to buy a motorcycle...not to mention im focusing my time and effort on a 240 vert..much better platform...

im just calling bs on this one dude that claims all this crap, but all the other 7th genners are getting butthurt for some reason...

THE 7TH GENS LOOK COOL AND ARE COMFORTABLE, THEY MAKE A GOOD RENTAL CAR

 

Straight truth.

Personally, I drive mine like this:
