4th Gen Turbo Kit for less than $3,000

This is to check out interest in this. Maxx Tuning is starting to develope our own products and I'm just gauging interest here. Our full Turbo Kits will be less than $3,000 working with a Garrett T04e Turbo and Intercooled. This is still only a thought. Who's interested???

less than 3k and you gaurantee me it fits, consider one sold. Although if you are copycating someone else's kit, that is kinda foul.

I'm sorry... you must have us confused with someone else... we're starting from scratch... may have low compression pistons as an option.

You can't patent a turbo kit.

We live in a free market system here, if you can't patent your design, then someone else can copy it. If they can do it cheaper, you better have good service to counter with--if not.........

hey i am not hating.. you do what you got to do to make a living.. but its still shady.. and did i expect you to say.. yeah i bought a kit and i am duplicating it.. nah.. only person online with big ***** like me to say something like that is bill99gxe.. and he doesn't sell turbo kits

one thing will be for sure.. if you didn't copy the kit.. it better not look anything like the other kit.. because then you would be a liar

Sounds good man, I don't care if they copied someone, I am not saying you all did. But how much for instilation, and for pistons, and is it intercooled?

Because Greddy is making a turbo for the 350Z which is the same engine as yours. And if I am not mistaken, from what I've heard, when they are done making the kit it is supposed to be able to fit on 2002+ maximas.

the piping won't be the same.. the headers are not the same..the turbo location won't be the same.. the most important thing about any turbo kit is the piping..

copying or not...

that's how it works these days.

Konig, ADR, Racing Hart Evo and many other wheel brands all copy identical designs from others... yet they still sell lots of wheels. Strut bars are identical for the most part, a hole or a extra twist somewhere and a sticker and it'a a different strut bar. Stillen Type II wing being duplicatd.. it's not being made by the original manufacturer but it's still someone elses design.. y - pipes, CAIs, dash kits, blah blah blah..

it's all the same.. everything is taken from someone else. otherwise a market for most items would be a monopoly.. As a consumer, you can say some price competition is good yet for the creator or inventor.. it is obviously a b!tch.

Oh yea... sorry automatic guys... this will only be available for 5-speeds.

right..keep in mind konig, ADR, RH, etc etc..they copy designs but they MAKE the rims. they don't take a RH rim and rebadge it and turn it into a konig rim.
for strut bar...the places are resellers. u think some store in the corner is making a strut bar? welding the plates and cutting the pieces? nope..they take a generic bar...slap a sticker on it and say it's sold from them. i HIGHLY doubt they said that they MADE the piece from scratch. most of the time some far east company makes a "lot" of bars..hits the US soil..get to distributors and they do what they want.

well u get the point.

building a kit off of another kit and remaking the same/identical kit are 2 different animals. WSP CAI is similar to the PR but Dan and Dallas did all the engineering and testing and production themselves. ive copied CAI setups in the past off of the PR setup. It's easy but you don't see me badging a CAI and calling it my own...

Im interested, and if it was under 3 K I would but... I just want to know what's it going to take for it to actually happen? When are we going to see Maxx Tuning starting with this project?

I see what you're saying. But what exactly is Maxima97GLE being suspected of doing here? Re-making that same design like the various wheel companies do, or rebadging the product as his own and under a cheaper price tag? I don't know enough about the turbo kit people are thinking of as being duplicated in this case... I guess he is supposedly taking the actual design and components used and remaking them all, putting them together and selling them as a kit? It's more or less the same thing as rebadging the strut bars and taking the design of the wheel and making your own..

but just to make it clear,
I am not trying to justify anything here.. just clarify what's being done..

I see what you are saying. I think in this case though, we need to hold off on making any judgement until more details are given. A project like this is much more complex than a CAI or a strut bar, I guess I shouldn't have brought those in as comparisons in the 1st place.
Although others probably know something I don't.. Sprint mentioned he got a hold of the other kit?

I'm just looking at it from the outside, this just doesn't seem to differ much from how other companies often go about in aquiring new products, as shady as it may often be..



i still say we wait before jumping to conclusions..

For $3k with the intercooler is a very good price.If they do make it happen this thing will be selling like cake,people better start saving now.
