Basic How to Turbo Any Car Properly (NO BS!)
What you will need for a turbo setup to do it properly...
1) Turbo of your choice preferably... T3, T4, T5, T60-1, or T3/T4 Hybrid all usually are made by Garrett no matter who you buy them from, the other companies just slab their name on the turbo minus some high performance HKS GT style turbos
2) Some sort of wastegate, either internal, or an external one like those made by Greddy/Trust, HKS, Blitz, etc.
3) Blow off Valve made by your choice of manufacturer HKS, Blitz, Greddy/Trust, Apexi, etc.
4) (Don't have to have but recommended!!!) Intercooler that can handle at least 20psi and has been pressure tested to those specs at least and at least as big as the one I am selling that is 18x8x3 (long x wide x thick) some manufacturers are Spearco, Sparco, Trust/Greddy, Hks, Blitz, etc.
5) Custom piping including crossover piping, etc. (CALL ME FOR ME Info!!!)
6) Some sort of really good cone ffilter intake (I recommend The Gracier Airinx, or K&N style, but APC works too)
7) at least 2.5" diameter exhaust complete from downpipe back
8) Larger injectors at least 91-96 Twin turbo Stock 300zx, 370cc injectors (complete set of 6)
9) Custom ECU either JWT or something else to accomodate new Injectors, etc.
10) (Not Needed but can be helpful if higher boost is desired!!!) Boost Controller from manufacturer such as Blitz (like my Blitz DUal SBC), Greddy/Trust, HKS, Apexi, etc.
11) (Not Needed But Highly recommended!!!) Turbo Timer or included in ECU reprogramming
12) (FOR HIGH BOOST!!!) I recommend a complete engine rebuild with lower compression JE pistons, or Topline Pistons, Cams, and so on lowering compression to either 9:1 or 8:5:1 (CALL FOR MORE INFO!!!)
13) (You MUST HAVE THIS!!!) At least a Centerforce Dual Friction, or ACT Street Disk Clutch kit upgrade, recommend the ACT 6 Puck or 4 puck clutch it setup for aggressive drivers!
14) (Recommend but not a definate need!!!) AASCO 11 lbs Flywheel, or Unorthodox 11lbs Flywheel, or Stillen 11 lbs Flywheel all are the same genreally unless Unorthodox, or Stillen actually has their own makes in stock (USUALLY They don't!!!)
I believe that is it, but if I think of anything more I will let you know! If anyone has any questions please contact more or if by some chance I forgot to list something chime in!

CenterForce Clutches can't even handle N/A Power much less a boosted maxima..
ACT 6 puck and 4 Puck Clutches will blow maxima transmissions.. no questions asked.. it has blown about 6 so far...

ok let me rephrase that because i didn't know you had a 3rd Gen..
even though Jon blew 2 Centerforce Clutches on his VE 5spd ..
Center Force Clutches and ACT Puck Clutches do not work with 4th Gen's..
Centerforce works great for 5th Gen's though.. don't ask me why..
also if your 3rd Gen is a VE .. chances are you have LSD and a stronger tranny..

The shop is called RTC (Racing Technology Company) call Dan O' Leary the owner if you have any questions about my install at (859) 367-0461. I assure you he can let you know anything you need to know about it that I may not know! Also I changed my Engine oil with High Revving Motorcycle V-twin engine style Amsoil, and Amsoil Tranny oil also at the same time! HUGE difference!

I could have put the same list together. Until you've proven you can turbo a max, your info is just research...

Don't get me wrong I love my max, but if I still din't owe money on it, it would be gone already, and I would have bout my friend's 84 Porshe 928S with S4 upgardes already done, and Bilsten Eibach Setup!
But theis is real life and I do not have enough money for his car, nor to pay mine off so i am stuck,a nd must do with what I have, it is still ten times better then a da.mnable civic, or Accord or something like that, just take my cousin's word for it after he blew up his LEvel 10 supped up 2000 accord v6 coupe.

I was just doing this because I have had several emails about how to turbo a car and this was simple general info on what you would need to do to have a proper setup, not how to do it, but raw components you will need unless you want to screw up and sorry I forgot the fuel pump earlier I should have mentioned that as I have a Camero Holley 255 Fuel Pump in mine and it works great, close to what the Walbro is like

i really don't see anything special about what you posted.. half of it was wrong.. and the rest is general information.. maybbe you should have just searched here instead of doing extensive research.. because i don't see anything special in this post i havn't seen on this site.. apart from the incorrect informatoion..
also if you had looked.. we already have a Boost FAQ thread going

you really should have posted this was 3rd gen only.
and why would anyone buy stuff from your for any gen with no proven results, as far as pictures, dyno's, 1/4 times, etc..
honestly you could just be scamming people.. half of your info is messed up and half of it doesn't flow.
you should build a kit. put it on someone's car and have many people attest to it.
i know harold personally, and i know what he got done, and he can tell me a hell of a lot more than you can.
