Would you start all over again provided the kit is a good fit?

keep it civil boyz.

 

Yes! Go for it! I would do it if I had the money.

 

No... I wouldn't want to deal with the heat issues and turbo timers (esp. with a MT). Not to mention the timing and fuel maps.

 

Ummm, I give u my car+cash and u give me yours and start modding the 5th gen.

 

You know my answer.

Is it because you can't park in gear? Other than that, I don't see what the downside is with a TT.


Same with a SC.

 

I would buy another car...Kinda like I am.

 

Boost with a S/C is predictable and doesn't vary like a turbo (spool up) where exhaust,intake (somewhat), wastegate adjustment, Boost controller adjustment all affect it. Ignition timing for my 10psi hasn't been a problem (I don't think my J&S is exerting itself).

 

No. I like my SC.

 

Yes, actually I am. I guess the whole linear boost thing just wasn't what I was looking for. Car never felt that fast even though it was.

So the SC is removed, and I'm in the process of getting/building a turbo.

 

I'd switch to turbo in a hearbeat...

 

I like my V2 supercharger works just fine for me

 

Screw the SC, Screw the Turbo, what we need is a good roots blower. Predictable AND full boost at low RPMs.

 

Roots blower is a Supercharger

 

How about getting a 6-71 or even an 8-71 blower on the VQ?

It'd require a bit of welding and some modification of the hood... "Minor" details.

 

I was driving next to my friend turbo and his spooling just drowned out my sc when we were running side by side @ full boost

 

we gonna talk again?
I would rather not see my parts scattered around Brooklyn...lol

 

I can second that.

I rode along in both a turbo and SC'ed 4th gen. I believe both were running the same amount of boost, but was two completely different experiences.

I just depends on how you like it: good and hard, or nice and gradual.

wait.......... you know i'm talking about boost, right?

 

I thought you were gonna buy my blower soon!!!

 

Hi, I'm 16/virgin/female and will be buying a used Maxima when I get my license. When you say "know you're talking about boost", what do you mean?

 

 

If their was a turbo kit available when I got the SC yes I would have gone with it. However now that I have the SC and its VERY fast anyways its not worth it to re-engineer my car nor is the money worth it. Leme put it like this SC@14psi+35shot=Turbo@14psi.

 

I would rather have a turbo but to answer your question as asked, no I wouldn't switch.

 

ye ye, im gonna trade with confused and biuld a TWIN SC 96 maxima.

 

If I already had an S/C and I had a buyer for my S/C waving cash in my face, I would consider switching, depdending on how much more I would have to spend for the turbo kit.

Maybe you should try and get a drive in a turbo max to help your decision

 

I know that you dirty dog. I was being lazy, SC in my post = Vortech V1/V2, aka only SC kits out for the Max.

We all know a Roots type setup would be killer on a Maxima. Or at least the V1/V2 with a better gear ratio for quicker spool up. Damn the dirty dogs at Stillen/Vortech, damn them to hell.

 

what's turbo@14psi+35shot=?
















...another spare motor? just kiddin...

 

LMFAO, Prolly not the fastest in the 1/4 either

 

rofl......















so when's it gonna be hooked up?

 

RoOoOoOoOoOoOtS


5.7L V8-VQ Maxima RWD with true dual flowmaster 2 chambered exhausts with an Eaton Roots blower @6psi putting power down via a 6spd Getrag transmission with an ACT street disc.

 

Now that's an "O" car...

 

who says it isn't. i had some motivation after a particular incident. lol

 

oh yes.... .... i forgot....


hmmm let's go tune!!
