Hello, so I've finally decided to start a turbo or supercharged project with a friend this fall and winter.. Should I wait till the rebuild is nearly done or should I start looking for a turbo/manifold setup now? Also would I have to get a customized manifold or is there some kinda bolt up options? I've searched some and it doesn't look like its that easy, lol. Also which option of the two would make more sence, turbo or supercharged on the VQ35?
Its me and friend tackling the job.. We swaped my VQ35 and are some what familiar with this engine. Any advice?

 

No supercharger for you.

There's a VQ35 turbo kit for sale in the classifieds. Buy now.

 

U havent stated what car u have,u said u did a vq35 swap so wat are u running 3.0 timing or 3.5 timing only 3.0 timing can take supercharger,and the used turbo kit in the classified can go on a 3.0 and 3.5 the maniflods hook up the same.

 

If u have a 5.5gen go turbo, if you have a dek or de u can go turbo or sc. Both have pros and cons. As for turbo manifolds there are a few setups out there for sell, you can have one made using stock 4gen exhaust manifolds or as wild as you want.

Know thats a nice kit if i wasnt supercharged ill be all over this with a different turbo.this kit looks better than any on the market for 5k.

 

Yuuuup. Nothing but quality parts there.

 

Its in my signature what I drive, this would be for my 5.5 gen 3.5L..

That looks like a sweet setup for $1500, I'm looking into it.. Also when I build the new engine what is the best way to lower compression for the turbo? I'm thinking about putting around $1000 for the re-build.. Can I get away with stock cams on the VQ35 or should I upgrade to something like Jim Wolf?

Also what about the ECU, any upgrades needed for Turbo? I've heard of people using '95 or '96 maxima ECU in a 5.5 gen but I don't know much about it.

Thanks
