hey i was lookin at ebay today at school and found this
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2455913566
would it fit on a 97' maxima? is it hard to install or would i figure it out with some help? it says all nissan 3.0 engines but i didn't think there was a difference in the fourth gen motors

 

I didn't know maximas came with a stock S/C
I doubt it will fit look on at the hole that pushes the air to the engine.
Maybe if the lower part of the intale monifold fits the maxima then it could be possible
I doubt it

 

yeah i was wondering why they said it came in maxima's. they should tho. i'm gonna email them and see if they'd have one that would fit cuz that would be badass to get a used supercharger for pretty cheap

 

I think you guys would need a special intake matifold and something that would let the hood close

 

the factory supercharger is for the new xterra only i think cause i know they do come supercharged, if not the xterra then one of thoes suv do, but that's only for that vehicle, obviously the guy don't know that he's talking about.

 

so nissan makes different intake manifolds for each of their vehicles with the 3.0 or is it a completely different engine? **** i would drive with my hood off if i could have a supercharger for that cheap

 

Well Im sure they make different for different engines. I don't think the extera was ever 3.0. They came with something else, but it wasn't a VQ engine so yes I bet the heads are different

 

well damn that bites. i got all happy when i saw that on ebay. would there be any other supercharger nissan makes that would be cheap used that would fit on a 97' maxima? looks like i'm gonna have to sell my maxima and buy an xterra just to supercharge it.......jk

 

You can make any supercharger fit (maybe except those huge blowers) but you will need to design a new intake matifold for those type of s/c.

 

the cheapest would be to buy a used stillen SC kit. It comes with all you need to boost your max

 

well i'd like to stay away from designing my own intake manifold so i guess a superchargers out of the picture. oh well maybe i'll find a used stillen for like $600

 

if you find a used stillen for 600 god bless you i wish i could!

 

That supercharger can only be found in the Xterra and the Frontier from the factory (so the motor comes already built for boost with dished pistions, etc). It never came in the 3.0 liter option...so that guys info is wrong. It's available only on the 3.3. Also keep in mind that this motor it's from is a VG33ER. So it has SOHC heads. So the manifold will not work on a VQ. This doesn't prevent you from using that type of S/C though. Craig Mack has a setup with a M90 Eaton charger, which is like that one, but built for the 3.8l GM motors. Too bad the car was wrecked before we could find out what that thing can do.

well anyone want to design a intake manifold for me and anyone that wants a used xterra supercharger? come on.. anyone?

 

How much are the mounting plates from Stillen?

 

u can just buy the mounting plate from stillen???? that's gotta be too good to be true

 

I think he's referring to the mounting plates for a vortech S/C that stillen uses......not a mounting plate for a roots blower.

Yes that is what I am talking about. I have heard people complain that stillen will not give them the time of a day if you have never boughten anything from them. If you are really serious contact one of the members on this board who have actually boughten the supercharger from stillen to see if you can get another mounting plate for a V1 or V2.

 

I was looking into buying a used SC from someone, but it was for a 95-98 and I've got a 99. So I called up Stealin and asked what it would cost to get the bracket, and they basically told me to go f myself.
