For our boost confused friends.. those who couldn't decide on what kind of boost

For those who didn't know if they wanted a Supercharger or a Turbo.. or what Turbo kit to get.. just when you thought it was getting easier to narrow down kits..

nuh uh.. another glitch in the matrix.. turbo kit pricing has dropped look .. now its cheaper than a 95 - 98 Stillen Supercharger Kit ..

http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?threadid=103611


Base Kit - non-intercooled $3300
I/C Kit - with Spearco intercooler and piping $3790

What sets this kit apart from other boosting kits?
1. No belts required
2. No pullies required to vary boost (simple push of a button with boost controller or simple vacuum tee) [not included]
3. Awesome Torque and Power (for always on boost)
4. Completely customizable (any choice of turbo as optional upgrades or downgrades) depending on your application
5. Designed, built and backed by reputable Performance shop
6. Dyno proven
7. No relocation of fans
8. Keep your fogs
9. Have nice cold air going through your turbo
10. Now no cutting of front bumper section is required.
11. It is always ON! You will not run out of boost!
12. Easily upgradeable from Non-I/C to I/C at any time without removing already installed kit.
13. Not limited to one type of blower. Can easily swap turbos by changing 2 short sections of pipe and some couplers.

We are also working on some new additional upgrades that will be available in January at VERY competitive prices. Cannot elaborate here right now .... stay tuned! We are ALWAYS working on making a better kit!

We have reduced the price significantly to be more competitive but we have also had to economize where we could to make this happen (I will not lie about this). We still believe the overall quality to be superior to any out there.

There are still opportunities if you are on a budget but you will have to email me for those and I can give my comments about what I think.


What's included:
Here's what's in the kit:

1. Brand New T4/TO4E turbo (upgrades available)
2. Deltagate external wastegate
3. exhaust pipes (All pipes are included now where the y-pipe was not before - Mandrel and non-mandrel available)
4. Oil line
5. Oil dump.
6. exhaust flanges to and from turbo
7. fuel pressure regulator
8. Clamps, connectors etc.
9. Spearco intercooler (optional for non-I/C)


NOTE: Shipping is NOT included

It is possible run this kit up to 20lbs of pressure. You should not run this more than 9 psi on stock internals though.

What is NOT included (options):
1. high flow fuel pump (recommended but not essential) GSS342
2. larger fuel jets/rail (not required)
3. Tial wastegate upgrade $70 (not required)
4. Blow Off Valve (up to you)
5. Turbo timer (up to you)
6. Recommended upgrade is 3" exhaust or you choke at 5k rpm.
7. Battery cut off switch (for NHRA reasons)
8. Boost controller to adjust boost level
9. Cone filter $25
10. Battery relocation kit $73 (non-NHRA approved)

1. Automatic Maxima pricing is likely to be $100-$200 more across the board because the piping is more complex and there needs to be two rubber hoses that need to be replaced with Steel braided lines.

**Note prices subject to change without notice**

boost blows......

this question probably falls into the "I can't answer this for legal reasons, blah, blah" category, which I understand, but anyways....

how are you 4g guys running the pipes from the exhaust manifolds to the turbo?? just adding mandrel bent sections from each manifold outlet, joining them together(sort of forming a X-over pipe), welding on a flange and mating that with the turbo?? remember Uncle Max's setup, similar to that. is this the setup most are using?? just curious....

so for the AUTO people...

all i hear is "tranny will blow up" and "bla bla bla turbo bad for auto"

well, if this kit is cheaper than a Stillen S/C now...what about running REALLY REALLY low boost? like to match stillen's stock 3.6 pulley? Is that still a bad idea for auto people? Other than the fact that auto's cant hold high horsepower (and the different piping), what else is there that is stopping Auto people from going turbo?

Stillen S/C is better because Stillen makes a quality product

I do not think they need to defend the product. The product defends itself everytime it's dyno'd or driven down the track.

Is there a better option than the SC... I do not know.. but there is ANOTHER option now.

So I think most are haoppy enough with that.

There will always be the which is better, SC or Tubo, debate.

Another is if the turbo was available at the time would they have gone turbo or SC...? The list goes on and on as far as debates go.
