I seriously doubt it. For one, the engine in the Max sits sideways... two, it would be next to impossible to fit all the piping necessary to have 2 turbos. BTW, 350s don't come in TT - you'd have to buy a kit.

Yes its very possible, I in fact completed it this weekend. I had to sell my camera to afford it so no pics available or videos and I don't plan on taking it to the track. Good luck its really easy, pretty much a direct bolt on

If the 350z can do it than I dont see why the 3.5 couldn't go TT. Again, with the $$ you can do anything.

GReddy makes a bolt on twin turbo system for the 3.5L 350Z, i'm sure that can be made to fit the 5.5 Gen Maxima.

I already have cut out my firewall to make it fit, I move the ECU under the pass seat and made a special mount for the engine to make sure the turbo fits behind the engine, the front turbo bolted right up, melts my clutch slave cylinder line all the time so I just swapped in a automatic tranny. I will have dyno charts soon.

Im still working on the Murano AWD conversion along with the CVT. Once that is done I'll do this G reddy turbo kit too.

SR20DEN,
CVT might slip too much on ya, I would seriously investigate the FX45 AWD tranny and transfercase. It should cope with the twinturbo transverse mounted VQ engine just fine. I hope the roads around ya are not narrow I also heard the Stillen SC for the 350Z fits right in, I was thinking of TWIN chargining the engine. Old school MR2s where SCed from the factory, and HKS had a turbo kit called TWIN Charger making it dual forced induction.... Maxima with 2 turbos and a SC with some naws would be raw... coupled with a FX45 tranny it should run some mad times. Watch out Bergenholtz !!!

Well the problem is that the Infiniti dealer will charge me retail prices on the parts because don't know anyone up there. At least at the Nissan dealer I get parts at wholesale cost and the Murano is the only AWD vehicle with the Nissan badge right now (in the U.S.).
And I thought it would be cool to have a CVT instead of the thing having to shift gears. My car even with the added AWD should be about 600 pounds lighter thant he Murano so that should allow me to run an extra 600hp. And for good measure I will throw in a few liters of Berryman 'Stop Slip' to keep that CVT gripping like new.
