running turbo off front bank only
ive turbocharged several four cylinders but my maxima is the first six ive owned. i want to know if it is possible to run a turbo off of only the front cylinder bank and not the rear. I believe the old Z31 turbo 6's ran the turbo off of only 3 cylinders, but im not 100% sure. A T3 turbine and a T4 compressor would probly be needed to make enough air at a low enough RPM or even a T25 turbine maybe. Any thoughts of discussion would definitely be welcomed before i venture into this new project. thank you

While it might be possible, I say no due to the tuning nightmare that would ensue...
And I don't think the old Z's were only run off one bank. They had a merged collector/downpipe, from what I recall seeing.

so peeps with 5th gens, do you run your rear banks under and up to the front of the tranny after joining with the front cyls? that would be like 3.5 ft or so of length before exh gases reach turbo though, lots of time for gases to cool.

I'll leave this one up to Turtle(Turbo95max). I believe he has/had a MaxRev setup like that. He also goes through motors like I do oil filters.
