yeah we added an additional transmission cooler. uprev tuning for the system management.

couple more pics

 

How much pressure do you plan on running?
Upgraded injectors/fuel pump?
Using G35 knowledge for the basics?

 

yes upgraded injectors and pump. nah couldn't really follow any ideas from a RWD platform

 

Am I wrong for saying this. But once you get it 100%, you gotta start tracking her.

 

Very nice! Any chance of a video ?

 

The real reason for the trunk mounted battery is now revealed!

 

Im too early into this one to comment on CVT if its better or not, but what I dont like about it is the resistance I seem to get when accelerating at around 20mph unless I hammer the pedal. From what I understand, this was done by design by Nissan which sucks.

But having this would be sweet!

 

Really interested to know if this kit would be compatible with out car since it's coming from the same engine in our car and the aftermarket mods are essentially the same for both cars. http://www.speedforceracing.com/inde...productID=1017

What do you guys, specifically Ghozt think about the compatibility if this kit??

 

No SFR's Altima CVT kit isn't compatible. If it was I would have just bought one..

 

I wouldn't know the specifics like you but since it was made for the CVT and vq35 what makes so incompatible?

That is if you know. I'm jw because the fitment looks very similar to under our hood

 

all of the piping fits differently.

 

Okay thank you.

Now with you being the initial tester of this kit, do you think down the road the company that fabricated this for you will enter into the market for turbo-ing our cars?

Or will we have to go the custom route like you and get a kit of our own fabricated?

 

if there is legitimate interest in a kit being made they can put one together; but I honestly don't see alot of people wanting to spend 5k on parts and 5k on install to turbocharge this car though since you can put the same money into another platform and see huge gains. this was just a "can we do it" type project

 

Damn. Yeah that price is definitely not for everyone.

Thanks for the information none the less

 

I hate that too. The car takes off so nicely, and then chokes off unless you really push it. Im wondering if the dealer can adjust that..

 

and yea the car will be taken to the track to see what numbers we can get

 

Because people have warned us removing the throttle control kills the CVT so why wouldn't a turbo?

I understand it's how you treat it but I am in the group of folks who do not have faith in the CVT.

 

Hey Ghozt, I forgot to ask this but how will you pass emmissions now?

I'm really curious to know because I am really contemplating a turbo kit.

 

Electrical tape over the CEL/SESL

 

Why wouldn't it pass emissions?

 

Doesn't the turbo manifold get rid of the stock headers and cats?

 

yea we deleted the OEM pre-cats and RL y-pipe. turbo manifold replaced all of that and connects directly to the AAM cat-back. i just passed emissions last november so ill worry about that later, but we are using o2 simulators.

 

Installing the WSP y-pipe on my 4th gen deleted both precats. I was able to pass smog every time. The car wasn't boosted, so I don't know if that would make a difference. I came very close to adding a supercharger to that car.

 

Ahh I see! Well in CT I believe they only do the OBII plug in but I'll have to recheck. With this setup I've noticed that unlike the Altima I don't see your MAF sensor?
Why is that?
Are there any codes thrown?

 

Anyone know the specs on the STILLEN TURBO 7thgen

 

Do you still have the RL Y-pipe you took off your car? If so, you wanna get rid of it?

 

Stillen doesn't have a Turbo'd 7th gen.!

 

killing the Maxima game still

 

Ghozt,
We need more pics!

 

Nice ! Way to be ahead of everyone!

 

More info and videos coming soon, finalizing the build (heat wrap, turbo blanket, electronic boost controller, etc) and tune before I really go test this thing.

 

Can't wait to see it Ghozt! I was browsing youtube the other night and came across a video of this sweet looking Max doing a night ride. Showing off. Halfway through I'm think... I've seen this car... O it's Ghozts! Your car gives me dreams of what mine can be one day lol when it grows up that is.

 

Do you have to have a sig pic that big for a stock maxima? Because i think you can make it any bigger? Because i never see stock maximas.

 

Aside from the stupidly large sig pics.

I would not be surprised if the CVT turns out to be stronger than many of the MTs we have available. The only thing about them is nobody understands them really, like IIRC the CVT actually has gears in it 3 of them if im not wrong. Personally i want to do my shifting and want gears but a lot you need to go out and drive a CVT before criticizing it, honestly its not even half as bad as you think.

My guess is it will hold about ~450whp then go pop. But it will be interesting to see. Good work.

 

My guess is you're being extremely optimistic.

 

I wouldnt be surprised, that same trans is thrown in heavywieghts like the Quest and Murano there has to be some strength in it. Now if he is beating the hell out of it then yea good luck seeing more than 350. If he can keep the trans cool and doesnt try anything like launching and adding slicks.

One think im certain about is it cannot be weaker than a MT 5spd. That would just be pathetic.

 

one thing im curious about is how its gonna handle the boost since there are no shift points and it will basically just be full on psi until you let off the throttle. at least with other transmissions you get the let off with pressure when you change gears, so i might have to drive this in manual mode or at least the fake Ds mode so it releases pressure occasionally. still not entirely sure how the CVT is going to respond. i dont plan on beating the hell out of the car or launching it a lot, definitely going to be easing into this monitoring all kinds of temps.

 

It was never that big for years and then out of nowhere it became that big for your information. Who pissed in your cereal this morning?

 

From my experience it is the abrupt load or heat that hurts the a tranny. In this case, there won't be a "shock" to the tranny at each shift.

My thought, with this increase in power, is there will be slipping of the belt at a certain point and the CVT will be toast.

Dan, what are your plans if the CVT fails? Are you entertaining another type of tranny as a replacement?

 

Your sig was huge, even administrator agreed on how big that pic was thats why its no longer in your sig. Its ok, all you have to do resize the pic and put it back in your signature. Your good to go.
