Is the car legal - I can't imagine it is. No state would allow exhaust piping inside the cabin, not even in a 3rd world country. You will need a friend of a friend to get a certified inspection sticker on that car.

Is the car unique - yes it is. I see a enthusiates who wanted to test his fabrication skills. Do you honestly think this is the only route he thought possible in making his car force induction.

Is the car partical - for the majority no, for him yes. I respect his skills, from the little we can see he has some decent welds.

He clearly should have visited this forum in the design stage.

He said he is going to put a heat shield to separate that part of the cabin when he gets the money lol. Do you think his check engine light is on?

despite any flaw designs you can't deny he's a true enthusiast.. I wager his next car will be much better.

No matter How awful you guys think it looks. That is by far the most creative setup I have ever seen. Gotta give that man alot of credit. The hours, the money and the blodd sweat and tears, must be countless.

GOOD JOB MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is certainly a wild idea, but why take all that time to twin turbo a SOHC VG. At least he could have started with the 24v engine. Anyways, it would be a sweet pizza delivery ride. Keepin the food hot.

wow that is truly amazing. If anyone is a true maxima enthusiast its probably him. To put that much time/money/effort into a car is amazing to say the least. I don't know how well hes going to fare up in the summer, considering basically all his exhaust is inside the car. at least he wont be cold. I still have a hard time believing all of this lol..i wanna see him convert the maxima to rwd then throw a rb26dett into the mix.
