www.ludespeed.com says he'll be starting the project shortly, for a bolt on turbo kit.

Also check out these two, semi recent threads for an idea of what it takes to get these in our cars.

I am working on one right now! My car goes under the knife someime later this week or next....when the turbo and intercooler arrive. I am looking at budget system but major parts are customizable. Should be up in three weeks ... as far as bolt-on is concerned, we will probably tweak it and voila! A turbo kit! Check out the thread below. The initial post is updated all the time so you can see what to expect.

not to be a party pooper, but there have been many people that have attempted to get some type of deal going for a turbo. I wish you tons of luck, but i'll believe it when i see it.

You're absolutely right! I got fed up of waiting for other people to do it, that's why I am doing it!

How come turbo kits for like a silva or R33 are only between $2,500 and $3,000 and ours would be more and can't we get a kit from them aren't they close to our engines we can get the turbo kit off them?

small differences of FWD and RWD/AWD. space is already avaliable for the SIlva/Skyline while the Max will require custom fabrication. Oil return/feed lines are already existant. The Max will have to have the return line tapped into the pan somehwere. im sure there are other differences but thats all i can think of rite now.

Where'd you get the idea that our engines are in any way related to the SR20? 2.0L I-4 as compared to a 3.0L V6. Just because they are both made by nissan doesn't they share any of the same components.
