how bout projected date when the specs/pics will be released? I started making purchases for my kit already and I wanna make sure you're gonna come thru with the piping before I buy the big stuff. I'm not trying to pressure you or anything and greatly appreciate your effort in building the pipes for us. I just wanna know if its gonna be in a few days or weeks? so I can plan accordingly.

mingo

iTrader: (4)

don't worry, it'll happen, i already invested alot of money into it, i paid the manufacture for the prototype. there's no backing out for me at this point, if i do it'll be a total loss. and i'm not taking anyone's money until it's all done.

There's far more Auto Maximas than 5spd. You' think you'd sell more Auto kits than anything.

Then again, boosting an Auto = dead tranny within 6 months most of the time. Whereas a 5spd at least last a year before you blow the diff bearings!

Oh so true oh so true guess we are all screwed either way unless I fully drain my savings and get that auto tranny build up like redmax did from NRH. oh well its not like my max is a daily driver

I have a 5th gen engine with a 4th gen trans in a 4th gen if that makes any difference.

I just got to throw this in......if you get 20 people on here saying they will by your piping I bet 2-3 actually do it.

hahahhaha, don't worry about that.. this wasn't a thread to gauge interest. i wanted to do this and if people buy it then it's good, but if they don't then oh well.. not to be mean but i'm real familiar with how the maxima community is.. i'll make a new product available, and that's pretty much my goal. i'm sure a few would have complaints about this system and want it done their way, but i know that i can't please everybody.

iTrader: (8)

well I'm not backing out, I'm 3/4 of the way thru my parts collecting. All I'm missing is the turbo, ic/turbo piping and wastegate.

mingo- Are you still planning making intercooler piping? will they come with couplers and clamps or would we need to buy our own? Also, hows the fitment on the manuals? did changing a portion of the pipe to 2in fixed the clearance issue?

TURBOVQ30DET

damn man that's koo when it's time for me and my turbo. i'll hit you up. let me know ur e-mail so i can contact you!
mine: chootia12@sbcglobal.net
oh yea will it work wit a t4 turbo? check it out: https://ssl.perfora.net/www.pfispeed...dex.shopscript
thanx!

mingo

iTrader: (4)

that just sends me to the front of pfi's page..

yes it will work with a t4

i'm going down to the manufactures place today to see the progress. hopefully it'll get finalized today, i'm sick of the delays too.

JeEvE

iTrader: (10)

That is probably very true. Im in for sure, I have money waiting so Im willing to leave you some kind of deposit if you need some money. You are having the 5th gen auto being done now, so is the 4th gen manual a maybe or is that definitly going through? Just want to make sure its worth the wait.

mingo

iTrader: (4)

i'm going to try to make the intercooler piping. at the end, everyone is still going to have to drill in the same places so i'll just make the piping that leads up to the intercooler. i might end up selling a full pipe kit that includes the intercooler too, i'm waiting for a supplier. and i already have a supplier for couplers and clamps, but he's been busy lately and i don't know when his first shipment will come in, but before then i'll have to go through someone else.

mingo

iTrader: (4)

the reason why i'm leaving a 5th gen auto there is because, if the pipes clear an auto, it'll for sure clear a manual.

a 4th gen manual is going to be the first car to be test fitted once the production peice comes out. but i'm pretty sure it'll fit. i've noticed that more 4th gen people are interested than 5th gen ppl

JeEvE

iTrader: (10)

Yea, that makes sense. So the piping that will be coming out will be the same piece make to fit 4th and 5th gen auto and manual? I have a 5th gen engine in my 4th gen but that shouldnt really matter but from what I understand, the flange locations coming off the manifolds are different between a 4th and 5th gen.

mingo

iTrader: (4)

isn't the difference just the 02 bung? either way i can make it fit on both..

4thgenx42

Ive been following this thread all along and its driving me crazy! LOL! Who is this manufacturer, do we all have to call hima make threatning gestures. Im dying of anxiety. All i need is piping to be GOLDEN!!!

mingo

iTrader: (4)

the manufacture requested to stay anonymous
but he's real reputable =D

this ish is driving me crazy too, i've been harassing them everyday.

4thgenx42

Cool beans ill be waiting!

myabe its ssautochrome.

mingo

iTrader: (4)

they're not reputable..

all parts are made here in the US with american Stainless steel.

i have exclusive rights to the kit too

JeEvE

iTrader: (10)

Its not just o2 bungs. From what I understand, the front exhaust manifold on a 5th gen has a built in pre-cat, and the 4th gen does not. So the 5th gen rear manifold is similar to the 4th gen rear and front manifolds, all without the built in pre-cats. If you would like a pic, I can post one up. Do you think this will be a problem?

stephenlc

iTrader: (1)

why would you want cats on the manifold?

stephenlc

iTrader: (1)

is it going to have a wastegate flange?

mingo

iTrader: (4)

oHh yeah i know what you're talking about now.

well it requires all fifth gen people to convert their front manifold to fed spec (those manifolds can be found easily at junk yards for around $40 or less) that would make it the same as the 4th gen =D.. and a new manifold from the dealer isn't too much either..

yes it will come with the standard 38mm wastegate flange that fits the tial and the turbonetics racegates.

JeEvE

iTrader: (10)

Never said I wanted any cats Mingo has a 5th gen so I was assuming that his setup would be made to fit a 5th gen front manifold which has the pre-cat. I used a 4th gen front manifold to get rid of the pre-cat when I put my 5th gen motor in. I just wanted to make sure. Thanks for clearing that up Mingo. Im getting so anxious, cant wait till these pipes come out, need boost!

mingo

iTrader: (4)

that's exactly how i feel.. if i hadn't shaved my head already , i woulda pulled all my hair out by now..

jcy98maxse

iTrader: (8)

hey mingo- I'm thinking of doing my own intercooler piping so with your forward charge pipe design, would I have any problems running PFI setup or I30tmikeD's setup where theres a pipe in between the motor and the radiator and going down the front passenger side of the motor? The reason I ask is because I'm trying to picture how the pipe is fed to the turbo. Don't need to give details of ur design so you can answer accordingly. or just pm me if you like.

JeEvE

iTrader: (10)

Im probably not going to be boosted until summer starts because I have school and work now so I will just be collecting all my parts. Im just hoping that this will go through. What will the turbo flange be? Our choice or will they all be the same? And the wastegate will be dumping to the atmosphere?

jcy98maxse

iTrader: (8)

its a t3/t4 flange.

mingo

iTrader: (4)

thanks =D

yeah it is a flange that accepts both the t3 or t4 turbo.

the intercooler piping would be fairly similar to the pfi kit so if you plan to make your own you can just get the basic turbo feed pipe.

the wastegate will not be vented to the atmosphere, it's just too loud and not the way i wanted it, and since most of us street our cars it'd be better not to vent it.
