Personally, I don't think we'd need a twin turbo, but to take full use, wouldn't we need a better tranny? That's a lot of boost.

"does this system come with a full exhaust?"
i will definitely bring this up and i was NOT aware that other turbo's actually came with the rest of the exhaust...this may reflect the price...i'll definitely bring this up. Thanks for your question, i would have never thought of that....

How big is the intercooler?
Is there any bumper fabrication needed?
Do the turbo's clear the stock hood?
Internal or External Wastegate?
BOV included?
There's a few for ya

A MINOR UPDATE
this can be good news and bad news but i received this from a very VALUABLE source...
this twin turbo is NOT located in New Jersey. It is shipped from Japan to New Jersey so IT IS VERY POSSIBLE IF NOT COMPLETELY POSSIBLE that it has been tested, and works. In fact I believe it does if he's ready to sell it...
this should answer some of the questions about fitment, etc....
more updates to come
the bad news is taht it might not be something u can just pay for today and pick up tomorrow....

MAJOR UPDATE
ok guys, i got some new info BEFORE presenting my questions...
here it is:
HP is 300 HP at 12 PSI with stock exhaust (2.25, NOT 3")
so with an upgraded exhaust, you should be looking at 330 to 350 hp (hopefully)
the new engine can handle 20 PSI with no problems and with a few extra mods can handle 30 PSI
This package also comes with an ECU upgrade (not sure what year yet)
install time is: 5-10 days
30 warranty on motor, lifetime on installation
takes about 2 weeks to get motor from japan to United States
Additional costs will be:
Motor mounts
Linkage
Axles
Also, this kit does not come with an intercooler...YET
nor does it come with the exhaust system
But for an extra 350, you can get intercooler
and for full exhaust, he can get a 3" mandrel bent aluminum exhaust (with test pipe) for 300 dollars.
i was searching on turbomaxima.com and saw how Nigel's max was doing 370 fwhp at 11 psi which looks like it would blow away this turbo if my source meant fwhp and not crank....i'll find out on that too...but this is all i know right now, more to come

twin turbo? new engines? already tested? from japan? sounds like remanufactured z motors.

Wait, are there any VQ30DET or modified for TT engines in the Japanese line-up? Seems like this thing might be forced into the engine bay.
If i won the lotto (at least $15k) then i'd guniea pig...
Mecca, Nigel's 370+fwhp is the total at 11-12psi. It's like 190-210 additional horses to stock. Your 300hp @ 12psi sounds reasonable for the fact that i think the y-pipe, intercooler and other goodies help it out a lil. the VI might have some to do with it.
But like i've said before: TT on a Max is not practical, just candy for the hot girlies

hey, the TT was tested on a 100% stock max, meaning full stock exhaust, all it had was the turbo and i guess intercooler? although he didn't mention it much...i have reason to believe it was tested without an intercooler as well, UNLESS you NEED an intercooler for it to run...
JUST IN CASE these engines R remanufactured, is that a bad thing? first off, would it be possible to even put a 300zx engine into a maxima?

So it's been tested on a Japanese Maxima...or Cefiro perhaps? Could they have borrowed one of them Samsung cars from Korea to do this?
And i think i'm one of the few people that has successfully partnered a 300zx engine to a 4th gen.
did i mention it was on a trailer hitch though?

Well, they don't even have maximas in Japan. Well there is the Cefiro.
And if they're telling you that they've already tested this kit in Japan, then I know they're full of BS. Because no Japanese tuning company is going to sell a turbo kit for less than what the current shops are. have you priced performance parts from Japan?

Is it a reputable company we are talking about here? Maybe if you throw us a name... There aren't many good tuner shops in the North East area that actually work on Nissan.

This thread is bullsh*t....
...the last time I heard someone mention twin turboin'g a Max, they had the hater pole shoved where the sun don't shine...
...and I already claimed the throne to having a twin turbo Maxima, or at least, stateside. I know of the Cefiro with the twin turbo engine Japan and Aus side.
Damn, you guys don't even read my posts, do you?
