Ok I own a 95 Maxima with 91,XXX miles. I was wondering is it worth getting a turbo for it? What would the problems be if any? All help appreciated it.

Start with a compression test and go from there...

a 95 max w/91k miles on it!!! The turbo kit will be almost as much as the car is worth! Does that answer your question? Oh and there the install costs, fuel managment sytem or apexis you'll need to get, gauges, fuel pump injectors, constant tuning.... May not be worth it man...

DEAC: If the engine is in perfect shape and he ALREADY owns the car, what is the problem? I just finished paying off my 96, and she has over 170k on the odometer. The engine has no oil leaks and the compression ranges from 180-190, which is IDEAL for a new engine. And the oil analysis that Bill recommends came up PERFECT for what I have. So if the engine is fine, and he is not looking to sell the car, than it would be better to slap a turbo kit on it, rather than selling it and financing another car and making payments for another 4 years and not being able to afford a turbo kit afterwards.....

I say go for it if the conditions exist...

I never said he shouldnt do it, I just suggested that by the time its all said and done if he does get the turbo, he will probably end up spending more to hop the car up than what the car is actually worth.... he did ask if it was worth it. If you dont care about that then... you will DEFINATELY enjoy the turbo if you decide to get it!

Yeah, I nearly responded to you earlier in the same way Ramius did until I remembered he asked if it was "worth it". I SC'ed my '95 Max when it had 120k miles on it. Was it worth it? Well, no, if you're talking about a return on investment (the worst way to spend money is car modding). But if you're talking about fun/$, the answer is oooooooohhhhh yeaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh.
