Pics of my Turbocharged Maxima

[czech09]

So much money and it's still a slow maxima . You should consider getting into the Dsm game. More performance for less $ . Nice car though.

Yeah. Nothing like a cheap piece of sh!t.

You might need more than the JWT ECU to manage the turbo setup. Usually, people add a piggy-back system that monitors the EGT & boost...unless your JWT ECU is specially programmed for a turbocharger add on...even then you need a turbo timer and boost controller at the very least.

Also make sure you monitor your EGTs and A/F ratio!!

The JWT ECU is set up for boost, larger injectors, cams, and nitrous. I do have a turbo timer and a greddy boost controller.

Wow. Wish I have $7K for a supercharge that will give my car 400 RWHP. Nice setup thou!

Yeah, that is a problem. I'm not done with the car just yet. I do have a body kit at my shop waiting to be put on. I just don't have much time to do it.

Nice! How're the 1/4 mile times?

no #'s yet, i need to go to the track soon. there is one guy in the maxima forums with half the mods i have running 12.6 on street tires(same generation maxima), so i'm hoping for mid 11's(which i don't think will happen without slicks) to low 12's. We'll find out soon i hope. I'll keep you guys posted.

It's gonna blow up once you go past 75.

mid-11 to low 12s in a FWD?

That must mean you're pushing 500~ FWhp. Does it feel anywhere near that fast?

Sorry for being a bit skeptical, but thats Z06 Territory (405hp, RWD, 3100lbs).

EDIT: How much boost?

Estimated 11-second quarter mile with slicks and stock axles? Are you sure it'll hold together?

I'm running 17.5 psi intercooled. It feels like a bat out of hell. Now let me clarify, I'm hoping for mid 11's to low 12's. There's another maxima (same generation) running 12.6 on a t3/t4 hybrid with a basically stock heads/engine on street tires not slicks. I'm running a GT30r turbo, i've got the biggest cams u can fit in the heads before having to modify the heads, ported and polished heads, ferrea oversized valves, unorthodox racing pulley, 1 7/8 Stainless headers, Full 3 inch exhaust. so i think i can knock off .6 secs from his time with all my mods(of course, this is purely assumption) whatever the outcome, i'll keep u guys posted.

I actually doubt the axles will be able to take the abuse. We'll find out soon though.

So youre pretty much crazy right?

Why didnt you just get a Silvia? You could have gotten a front end and put everything together for what youve put into yourMmaxima. Then again I do suppose that youre Maxima is more unique - I havent seen many turbo maxies even though you know someone apparently.

 

[PHiuR]

nice that you are gonna have a 11/12 second maxima (very special) my friend has a 11/12 secs dodge stealth - love the feel of it.

i personally woulda put that $ into a 'better' car but it's nice to have a unique car thats fast people will be looking at you as you blow by them in a maxima

I own a few other cars also, but my max has always been my favorite. It's something different. Don't get me wrong, i'd love a 240 also, but it's already been seen/done. I like the sleeper look and the styling of a 3rd gen maxima.

actually there are a few 4th gen maximas running 12s with around 400fwhp...not 500fwhp..of course thats on slicks.

you gotta realize that teh gearing on the 5-spd manual transmission is PERFECT for the VQ engine's powerband....it's what gives teh car the speed..seriously. that and it's light weight.

btw, any videos of the 3rd gen turbo? I'd love to hear it sound.

have you heard 'Ceasar's Chariot's (username on Maxima.org forums) maxima? that sounds sick!

it sounds like a big block V8 at idle

Everyone said I should have put money into a better car, but I love the 3rd gen Maxima.

I actually raced a CRX the other day. I didn't want to race, but after he revved his engine, (which sounded like a lawnmower), I couldn't help but race him. I left him in the dust. Funny thing is, after I let him catch up, it turned out to be a friend I haven't seen in years.

I'd love to try to get a video uploaded. My digital camera does movies, so I should be able to have a video up sometime in the afternoon, so you can hear it. I don't think I hav heard Ceasar Chariot's Maxima. I think I will have to check that out. I would love to hear how his Maxima sounds!

 

[Cooljt1]

yeah, ceasar chariot's max sounds really nice and he has some videos and stuff on his website of his car on the strip. i think his best is 14.1 all motor.

 

[imported_Lucifer]

Awesome. I need to check out the vids later on. I'm going to bed right now. I got work at 10. But I will try to get you guys a video of my Maxima, so you can hear it.

Also, just incase any of you are interested, my username on Maxima.org is emeraldmax. Been there since 2002 with less than 90 posts. I love to read the forums.

Good night all! I promise to keep you all updated!

[Rallispec]

alright man, that is some awesome work you've done... If you really can reach the 11's in that, you will be my hero.

but for the love of god, please tell me your car was up on jacks in the side view picture, otherwise lower that bitch, stat.

 

[fbrdphreak]

Nice setup, but damn watch the speed bumps w/that intercooler
