i was reading the intake manifold thread this morning and i click on the link on there and i found a site that had a vq30de turbo manifold that some company sells.

here the info off their page.....

heres their link http://www.importperformanceparts.ne...an-nissan.html

the only thiing i dont understand y it list our motor as a 2.0liter v6? is that just the motor used overseas? if so would it still bolt up to our cars? i just found this and i figured i share it with u all. if its a repost of old info then my bad.

-will

 

good question. is it for one side? will the turbo only run off 3 exhaust ports

 

That is most definitely a typo, as no Maximas have 2.0 V6's, although, strangely enough, I have come across a site that asks to "choose your engine model", and it gives the option of 2.0 or 3.0... Hmm...

 

We regularly do business with TSI. They do claim the manifold will work on the 3L VQ30, but I have never been able to personally confirm that info.

 

i know there were vq's smaller than 3.0's i didnt know they were as low as 2.0's tho. possibly the vq20? is used in the samsung version of the maxima. not sure tho.

cast iron, damn thats heavy aint it??? stock ones seem heavy enough? lol

 

doesn't maxmajo have a turbo set up that uses a front turbo manifold similar to the one above?

 

I sent the guy an email hopin to shed some more light on this. if this is for real then it could be great for those of us that want to turbo but don't have the cash for a full kit.

also the guy that sais he has worked with them...do u kno if its a full 6 cylinders of if it runs off of 3?

 

wow those turbos are small. who would want one of those?!?!

 

Those are sesame street turbos guys. You'd be retarded to use one of those on a 3.0 V6.

That said, there are 2.5 and 2.0 VQs in other countries... but I HIGHLY doubt anyone that would suggest a T25 or T28 turbo and show a picture of an I4 manifold for a V6 knows that. My guess is that they haven't got a clue that they've got a typo on their website, but it's probably just that, a typo.

 

the smaller vq's are going to be found in the cefiro's

nope, no typo at all, ya'll.

i want to clear this up with everyone running the same question:

vq's do come in a v6 2.0L in other countries. ya'll should have heard about the legendary cefiro's outside of USA. those cefiro's are the infiniti I30's out there, and they are called the cefiro's.

well, these cefiro's, in correspondence to our 4th gen maxima's, come with 2 vq engine sizes. 2.0L and 3.0L. the 2.0L comes with around 145 hp and was criticized by many who owned them. the complaint was mostly about the small displacement size over a huge v6 engine. yeah, it's funny and a blame that everyone don't understand out there. they also complained that they thought they bought a gas saving car because of the displacement; however, gas econ was terrible for that car because of its numerous cylinders.

many engine mods are made for these little vq20de's, and they are mostly compatible to the vq30de's. these manifolds, if said to fit the 2.0L vq's, they will definitely fit our 3.0's in our maxima's.

not a bad find at all, neal. keep up with this good work.

 

hey neal great find...i guess.

i sent them an email and hopefully they will get back to me with some more info and ill show it to u guys

 

Even if they do fit they can't fit anything larger than a T28 which is way to small for our motors so the whole thing is kinda pointless.

 

Mike, are you going to come on with a video soon, or what??? How much would the power output of those small turbos be on our cars, or what would be the max psi? I don't know much about turbos, so maybe these are stupid questions.

 

I have been meaning to get something like that posted.

With a T28 you could see boost by 2K rpm's but then it would fall on it's face by 5K. it would just be a very bad power curve and be way passed the turbo's capabilities. I guess some would think it is better than nothing, but if your gonna spend the money to turbo a Maxima might as well do it with the right size turbo.

 

couldnt you just weld on a different mount and bolt any turbo on there?

 

Well for me atleast I wouldnt mind that at all. Thats a nice midrange power curve right there, great for daily driving. Seeing boost at 2000rpm would feel great, wouldnt even need to rev it up too high, so its great for people who dont like seeing the higher rpms all the time.

EDIT: http://www.importperformanceparts.ne...ec_nissan.html <--- Anyone see that? Thats not too bad of a price for a turbo kit. Comes with alot of stuff. Its listed as the VQ30DE.

 

Trust me you would not want a turbo like that. You would not be able to drive w/o being in boost. I guess it is hard to explain unless you have driven a hew higher HP turbo cars.

 

To answer people's questions about how many cylinders it runs off of.....think about this, if it's intended for the VQ20, how could it only run off 3 cylinders? That's only a measly 1.0L for the turbo to work with.

 

No I understand that part. But even if you see it around 2000rpm, you can mostly avoid it. I know my auto can shift as low as 1800rpm if I drive slower. Not to mention you can always lower the boost. I understand the MPG issue too.

 

i just got an email back from a guy named phil and he said it should be listed as a 3.0 not a 2.0. that was a typo on their site. im goimg to email him again and ask him if they could make it with a larger mont on there. i will also try to find out some piping stats.

 

another question i have is if it gives u 200hp shold we be able to get a large trim on the housing? wouldnt that make it spool up at a higher rpm? i dunno to much about how that part of the turbos work.

 

im emailing this guy phil back and forth and im not getting a response. i think i'll give them a call in the morning i guess.

 

Find out if the VQ30 application listed uses one bank of cylinders or both.
