Bingo. The only thing simpler about it is that the pipes are mostly straight not curved, and that it doesn't have an intercooler.

I don't understand why people are so excited about this kit. For an LS1 car that has VERY LITTLE room under the hood it's a bit more viable, but the max has tons of room under the hood. It's comparing apples to oranges.

 

Also, for what it's worth, LS1s with traditional underhood twin turbo kits like the Incon TT kit are running the same times as that guy who just broke into the 10s with the STS kit, but they are running like 7.5-8psi rather than 11psi. Same times and traps but less psi. Should be obvious what is the more efficient setup.

 

There is no room under to hood of many cars, Have you seen under the hood of a GTO? I am not saying it is the best kit for a maxima, but for some cars it is killer. Show me the exhaust routing for a single turbo kit on a LS1 V8 under the hood of that car, or show me the price of a twin turbo kit for the LS1 like other have done.

 

That's wierd. From what I know the MAF accounts for the air taken in and adds fuel accordingly. So if you are venting to the atmosphere you have just lost the air and the car is still adding the fuel that it has accounted for. Not recirculating the bov on a MAF equipped car usally means seeing black smoke shoot out of the exhaust during shifts due to the extreme richness. I own a turbo se-r and I can tell you that if I don't recirculate my bypass vlave my car runs like poo-poo.

 

Some turbo maximas, like mine have the MAF on the pressurized side. The BOV is before the MAF. It's fine to not recirculate on a setup like that. It's the ones with the BOV between the MAF and TB that get into trouble, ie stalling. Usually those guys use the anti stall feature in the SAFC or e-Manage.

 

 

^^^You don't have issues with the blow through set-up?

 

None that I know of

 

On my 4th gen, no problems. Most 4th gens have no problems w/ the blow through. It's the same way it was on my old Stillen SC, that's why when I did the turbo, I ran the piping that way. I'm told that on newer Maximas, the MAF will be a lot more likely to fail on blow through, so they use draw through.

I'm running a Z32 MAF right now. In the next few months when I rebuild my setup, I may redo it as draw through. Depends on how I want to run the piping, and space.

 

lock this already....

 

why?

It's not a bad discussion. And if we can keep the whole rear turbo thing in 1 thread, I'm good with it.

Like I said, I would not do it, but someone may. There is GOOD information in here for pros and cons.

If you can give me some good reasons to lock it I will

 

Because its such a horrible idea with such a tried and true setup available already.

 

I said the EXACT same thing about turboing a maxima in the 1st place. Stillen was tried and ture. Still is. And there is more than 1 way to skin a cat, no?

How many different turbo feed pipes are there?

Next argument.

 

you need a bov recirc hose to before the maf though.

 

Word... Thats why I'm switching all my **** to a s13. :Wall:
