RedZMonte Posted January 31, 2003 Report Share Posted January 31, 2003 I found that the maxima that is local to me building the turbo kits gained 50hp on the same ammount of boost (7psi) by swapping turbos! He was running a T04E just like i have.... now he installed a 60-1 Standard which i a little bit bigger. he gained 50hp and it also spools quite a bit faster. ~2200 rpm faster or so. that is SICK AS HELL! so i might be upgrading my trubo once i build my kit he is now pushing 420hp at the wheels on 7psi!!! BTW its a 1997 Maxima SE 5spd RedZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skalor Posted January 31, 2003 Report Share Posted January 31, 2003 compressor efficiency baby! :shock: . He should run more boost if he can, because 7psi on a turbo that big is ridiculous. I wish we could make 420 hp on 7psi. Wait, scratch that...I wish we could make 420 HP at all. I know it's possible, but I have never seen a 60* engine make that kind of power. I would think that the power curve must be very unstreatable with that size turbo. At what RPM does he have full boost?? I saw a Nissan 200SX SE-R with the SR20DET make 419 hp/412 tq at the wheels on a dyno at a Nissan meet that I went to with my friend, but that was with a lot of boost...25 psi :shock: :shock: :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedZMonte Posted January 31, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2003 oddly enough his is EXTREMELY Streetable. he spools up at a very low rpm.. i will see if i can get a dyno plot. RedZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGPilot Posted January 31, 2003 Report Share Posted January 31, 2003 Maxima's are good sleeper cars to begin with....running a Turbo would be quite a suprise to many of the ricers out there!!!! 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedZMonte Posted February 3, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2003 hopefully i will see simmilar gains. i am running about a 1/2 a Liter on him so i should make more power. assuming his heads are not significanly better. I guess i will have to see what i can do.. I feel the need to show him what a little Domestic tuning can do altho his car is sweet. Looks bone stock with a low key tip!

1trucavalier Posted February 21, 2003 Report Share Posted February 21, 2003 curtis z-24 is making that kind of power. but of course its got a mixture of 3100/ls1/3.1L parts. I would be just satisfied with 300whp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedZMonte Posted February 24, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2003 CORRECTION! he made the 430hp on 12PSI and only 360 on 7psi. RedZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1trucavalier Posted February 24, 2003 Report Share Posted February 24, 2003 i am sure its due to the superior head design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedZMonte Posted February 24, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2003 i am sure its due to the superior head design. Heck yeah! 24v.. i am hoping i do simmilar power wise.. i might make about the same because i have more displacement but then break even with powertrain loss because i am an auto and he is a 5spd.

1trucavalier Posted February 24, 2003 Report Share Posted February 24, 2003 you could probably make wayy more power if you could swap the belt for a chain. I have seen quite a few 3.4's eat timing belts on the squeeze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
