It's not a sentra! It's U12 bluebird SSS attessa AWD (US spec 1990-1992 Stanza) and it comes with a top mount intercooler. Putting this engine in a maxima is a waste of a good engine. They have FWD turbo engines for maximas and one in particular is a Vg20ET. There's more, but you guys have to do your own leg work.

A CA in a Maxima would be a waste and SUPER complicated. Dee's on the right track. That car is just too heavy for a 4 banger. It would suck to drive...
