man its finally alive once again.
really want to thank all the guys that stayed the long nights to help me finish the project. Also big thanks to members that offered advice and opinions about things.
i have yet to boost over 8psi but im alreayd having traction probs. If i launch lightly at 2000rpm the tires break loose and the car drifts to the right a bit...dunno. we'll see
Whats left is an oil leak, exhaust leak, tuning the engine, and breaking it in. Small beans to me.

Once again thanks alot!

 

Quaife...

Congrats on getting the motor up and running man, can't wait to see a dyno.

 

man it's going to be sad seeing your car on the street instead of on jack stands in the garage...

 

M7 is finally alive! YAY!


congrats foo.
next time im up in nor cal. u better give me a ride !

remember what ur friend said!
built motor: just takes longer to make it pop!
hahaha

 

haha i know Cheston...hopefully that "longer" is ALOT LONGER. Yea it will be sad for the car to be running then on jackstands. for some members they've never seen the Max off jackstands!

Weasel, i got the Nissan VLSD trans...its still pretty bad tho.

 

props to the other matt.. i think he needs SPECIAL mention

 

 

good job!

 

wow... congrats!

 

That is sweet a maxima with a turbo that sounds leathal. Be carful and take care of the max. I can,t wait for pics. Congrats.

 

Turbo i thnk i am just as excited as you are Turbocharged Maxima hell yeah!!!!!

 

All you need to stop that traction problem are some really sticky and wide tires. The hard work has paid off.

 

I just wanted to say congrats. And I did nothing to assist you, because every questioin you had was so far outta my scope that I would sit here and shudder in the mere thought of it.

I am truly happy to know it is working out though.

 

 

Congrats. The hard work finally paid off, bet your glad you didn't sell it now...

 

Its about time Matthel Gladd to here she's running.

 

i'm sure that traction problem will be fixed when you put
those other tires on the car, the ones on your car
are balder than a 99 year old man dood.

trust me his car is scary fast, with him shifting at
about 4k and me shifting at redline, he pulls away
the entire time... wanna race matt?

im suprised it started right up and ran so well
tho... o well i'm glad its done, now we can finally
clean your garage dood

 

Sit back and have a cold one on me bro!

 

I've been reading all your posts about all the trouble you've been going through and and the hard work you've put in. I wish you all the luck wiht your new monster, you deserve it. Now my suggestion to you is to submit a nice "how-to" write up to be used as a resource on Maxima.org. I know it would probably be more like a book than a write-up but this would be written proof of a successful adaptation of a turbo for a Maxima. Very cool! I'd also take the car to some shows and see if you can't hunt down a sponsor. I'm sure there are aftermarket companies who'd like to put their name on a very rare modified Nissan Maxima. For all the hard work you put in you may as well bask in a little glory.

Anyway just my .02!

 

The beauty of electronic controls, when their on, their on!

 

Gawd Dayum! What kind of car and bolt ons do you have??

 

thanks everyone for the kind words, i appreciate it. Im scared now to break anything, im juss happy to be driving it again. I think ill stay around 8psi for while longer.

 

Congrats Matthel. Yes, take it easy for awhile. Kudos to you for sticking with this project.

 

Congrats on the "hair dryer" powered motor.

Now lets see some times after its broken in!

 

Whoa! A turbo Max? It's hard to believe with all these negative comments about squeezing a turbo in our engine bays... I guess it really can be done!
Congrats on the completed project!!!

 

ive had it since summer 2000. Ive juss had some minor and major motor and trans probs. Most of them are worked out now.

 

A big turbo VG30 in an 89 chasis is in the midst!!
It will be built for the blower, and running 15 psi to start. I like that it's pre-90's. Sort of the 4DSC that started a huge trend. It will be a sleeper. No fin,skirts or any BS. Just clean, low and faast. GOOD JOB TURBOMAX. Put those Mustangs in their place boy!

 

Congrats.. Now you need to talk with some companies to maybe see if you could have a turbo kit made for our cars after you get all of the problems worked out. Cant wait to see the pics... do you have a front mount?

 

Way to stick with it TurboMax! It'll pay off in the end. Can't wait to hear the new k!ll stories and new pix...

 

yes he has a front mount, a very distict maxima in every way. congrats matthel. good ****, i could not believe i drove a turbod max again. its been a long time coming. man, i thought is was fun with the auto but now, shiiiiit the five speed is a lot more fun with BOV. anyways, good to see it running, i cant wait for the 12 pounds though.

 

.. December's Max of the month!!!

 

Time to tub out the front of your Max Matthel!

 

tub out the front? what you mean Randy?

thanks for the vote of Max of the Month, i dont want to seem ungrateful or anything but im not too interested in it...thanks tho

 

Congrats man. I remember that time at the Ocean Beach meet when you were telling me how your engine overheated because the turbo you had at the time displaced one of the cooling fans.

 

Ya they still need to put up Novembers...

 

haha i got a stock VE auto... not really good for much, but
his VQ pulled away faster than most VQ's do...
i sure do hope some of the noise goes away though, your car
sounds mean but god dayum!!!! rattle rattle vroom vroom rattle rattle

o yeah, don't forget PSHHHH!!!!!

 

maybe I will get to see your car running for the first time...

 

again I say post pics please I love turbo cars.

 

Coming in kinda late, but congrats on the turbo upgrade! Is it inter-cooled, too? That would be the best!

Congrads....Sounds like its gonna be a real screamer.
