Twin Turbo For 4th Generation Maximas!!!!

THIS IS NO JOKE, I just got word that there is a twin turbo for 4th generation nissan maxima's!!!!

This includes a BRAND NEW ENGINE with 0, yes ZERO, yes ZERO MILEAGE!!!!

What would you guys say if i can something like this not only with TURBO, TWIN TURBO BUT ALSO A BRAND NEW ENGINE FOR AROUND THE SAME PRICE OF THE AVERAGE TURBO ON HERE....MAYBE EVEN CHEAPER??????

**PS** THIS IS NO JOKE, I'm trying to get a GAUGING INTEREST and an actual GUINEA PIG might be needed, WARRANTIED AND ALL!!!! AND INSTALLED IN NEW JERSEY!!!

I'd say how the hell do you plan to do it cheaper than the current turbo kits, with an engine?

Is the "NEW ENGINE" a 4 cylinder out of a Kia or something?!!

If this actually happens as you say it will, I'd definetly be interested. But I have a really bad feeling it's going to be one of those, too good to be true type things.

lol, i still have to get more info on this but this guy gets parts cheap and it is a 6 cylinder engine, A REAL VQ V6 engine that you see in your car everyday, just built stronger for the twin turbo....

So as well as the battery being relocated, what else would have to be moved to make room for the extra piping and the turbo itself - is a twin turbo basically a turbo for each bank of cylinders?

BEFORE ANY OF YOU GET THE IMPRESSION that this is too good to be true, i would just like to let all of you know that THIS HAS ACTUALLY BEEN CREATED ALREADY, PRICE HAS JUST ABOUT BEEN CREATED, and the only thing left is to find someone bold enough to have this tried on their car for a discounted price...install should take roughly a week, week and a half maximum and you would be warrantied with the new engine so if you ran into any problems, worst case scenario is get another one or put your old one back in, but just wanted to put this out in the air so you guys know it exists, now i have to check everything to make sure its all good....

while doing this, do you guys have any specific questions i can go back and ask? especially you turbo guys who know a lot about this stuff, is there anything in specific you would like to know (besides how they may get it so cheap)? If I can win you guys over on this then everyone else is sure to flock to it.

So a V6 TT VQ has been made but hasn't been installed in a maxima yet? Somehow that doesn't make sense to me as the only car to use the VQ in the USA are fwd maximas(not including the VQ35s now).

Anyway, got pics? Sounds interesting.

guys, i'm sorry, i know this sounds very weird, in fact i shouldn't have posted until i got more info but i was just too surprised to keep it to myself...just bear with me for the time being as i gather more info, just know IT IS OUT THERE FOR US...not to kill other business, just to give a new, and from what i see, a better alternative....

why won't i be the guniea pig? even at a discount price, we're talking a few thousand which is far more than i have to spare right now, and a turbo is the last thing i need right now, although i am in need of a new engine sooner or later (126,000+ miles.... )

HAHAHHAHA, yo, i was so surprised when i looked through and didn't see this, like how can a threat about a NEW turbo not be on the first page, just to see it was stickied!

OK, here's WHAT I CAN TELL YOU, ANYONE IN the NORTHEAST THAT IS interested in having this installed on their car first (although it will run you a few grand, it will be a little cheaper for you than everyone else and free install) please email me and we'll work from there. MECCANOBLE has never let you guys down! i guarantee victory for 4th gens all across the world!!!

you might be thinking about a 4 banger. honda's generally don't see much improvement from a twin turbo setup. i talked to a guy who twin turbo'd his ITR and he said it was $10K wasted on the fact that he could say he had a twin turbo.

i am wondering how a twin turbo would fit inside the engine bay...

mmmmmmmm........twin turbo. How much extra would it be for a BRAND NEW manual transmission? I can't wait......if this is actually true I will be buying one of these when my car gets to higher milage instead of a new car. I love the body of my 4th gen and it has all the options that I love. I couldnt stand buying another car, I love my max too much.
Thanks,
Dan

a few grand huh? ... you said it was already built, got any pics?

a single turbo is already hard to fit in an engine bay let alone a TT. AND since a regular engine is already stressed out with a single turbo, how is this one built stronger? what kind of tranny does this new engine have?

TT for a maxima [mr.burns] excellent [/mr.burns]








btw ..... is it available to auto?

- Sounds like a bunch of you-know-what. Why would anyone bother with a twin setup when the T04 setup works just fine?

- Do we get an ELECTRIC SUPERCHARGER with our new engine and twin turbo setup, too!? Oh boy!

If it's for automatics, which I highly doubt because the pipes will have to be specially bent, then I'm interested... maybe....

Im in the north east. CT to be exact. Email me the details about this and we'll see.

Include, Approx price range, how long it will take, and date it will happen and other details as you see fit.

Thanks in advance,
- Mike

I third, fourth and fifth the vote, especially if it it comes with the Direct Port nitrous mini setup..........

I wonder why someone would want to do this and how in God's name could it cost less than a turbo.....

Please make a liar out of me Focker.......
