how do maximas respond to boost?
I was wondering how maximas respond to boost and some more info about it, if anyone has any info that would be awesome!
476whp / 505tq @ 10psi
This was the dyno results of a former Maxima owner HlH0501. All on the stock bottom end. For more info check here. http://www.dynomagic.com/thefast_hlh.htm

Re: how do maximas respond to boost? (Usuck!)
All Maxima engines seem to respond well to boost.
There are VGs, VEs and VQs all over 300 hp with turbos. The supercharged VQs are very strong, too. There are well tuned cars over 400 hp out there.
The biggest challenge is fabricating the piping and working through the tuning. I think most of that information is available, though.

VQ30's tend to take up to 400-450whp on stock internals. A little more is possible, but you're right on the ragged edge.
VQ35DE's tend to take a similar number, but ths 6-speed is a little stronger. Not much. The engine itself is about as strong, maybe a smidgen weaker-- but if you raise the redline, the VQ30 tends to hold together a little better-- stock for stock, that is.
Both, above 400whp or so, get pretty fragile to low oil pressure and detonation, so keep that in mind. As noted you can do 475whp+ but you sneeze at it wrong and it'll break. A fairly safe number assuming reasonable coolant and oil temperatures as well as A/F ratio is probably 400whp... maybe 450whp... but we've broken too many things at 450whp in extended racing sessions at that number...
