Turbo or supercharger?

[rroderiques77]

I need help from all you expert Maxima owners. I own a 02 Maxima SE. 6 speed. It already has intake, exaust, and pulley. It's pulling about 190 at the front wheels. Lost some horsepower with the mods. It's also running lean. I know I need to tune the ECM. I heard of a place called Techno Square. They will re-map the ECM. Anyone ever used them? What about JetChip? Additionally, has anyone put a turbo or supercharger in their 5th gen. Maxima yet? I can't find anything for it out there without it having to be fabricated. 6 lbs of boost would make that VQ 35 engine soar. What about a fuel pressure regulator? I heard Paxton has one. Any other modifications before I tune the ECM? I don't want to have to tune it more than once. Can anyone help me with these questions? Your expert advice will be greatly appreciated.

idk much about turbo or supercharger 5.5 gens. Id check out maxima.org. They have alot i mean alot of info there. Just register and search. Sorry mods for linking to another forum but its been a week and no1 answered this person. Thats the best I could do for you.

If you go the the org its 20 bucks to search as a donation. And also with you being a 5.5 gen and a 3.5 it makes it a lil harder. I would deff check the org.

If you Supercharge or Turbocharge....tuning the ECU would be last...you would need proper fuel management and what not to get it running properly...I am from the org. check out:

I was wondering if a vq30de turbo kit would fit on a vq35de engine???

i would say supercharger seeing as it would be easier to package.. just my .02

turbo would be awesome with more options down the road, but with low boost, and the fact you don't want to tune it often, a SC would benefit you, plus with SC you have no lag..... All the power is there when you start the car. So for what you seem to want, try to find an SC which would be harder then just fabricating a turbo kit i would imagine.... i don't know though, maybe talk to some manufacturers of 350z superchargers and see what they say about slapping one on the Maxima..... Good luck and let us know what you find out!

Well unless its a positive displacement blower there is still lag so the whole s/c having no lag is not true . They still lag. Turbo;s do take more to fabricate but in the end have more power per psi. Also the turbo doesnt take power to make power the s/c does. In the end its completely up to the owner on what route to go. I have one of each but to be honest i will have 2 turbo cars by then end of next year.
