Turbo Kit for 3.5

[NavyNuke]

I've been looking at getting a turbo for my A/C but I've heard that you can't just drop a turbo in without upgrading other parts of the engine. What all is recommended to do with the engine when adding a turbo?

[missouriguy1973]

Do a search...there's a couple threads about turbo 07+'s in here already...in fact, there's one the coupe thread list about halfway down the page...

Do you have around 5 thousand dollars ready for this mod?
If not, then it's a moot point.

yeah, i have my enlistment bonus waiting for me and i have a lot saved up since ive joined the navy

Do you have a standard or the CVT. The durability of the CVT is a question that if you want to be sure that it will last you need to upgrade it to make it stronger.

yeah i have the CVT. Ill get some other work done on my car and if it turns out that the CVT can handle the boost then ill get the turbo.

What i would like to know is why the sedan hasnt got a t/c? i have a 07 sedan and it sucks that the coupe is getting more attention from every 1 i mean the sedan and the coupe have alllmost the same front end like the engine is the exact same as sedan. so why isnt there atleast a proto in a sedan????? that would be hot a t/c sedan with a nismo cat back and a fujita or injen intake with aBLOW OFF VALVE! lol

The Coupe turbo kit will work with a sedan just fine...All would be needed is a different length down pipe that attaches to the rest of the car since the sedan is longer than the coupe...something very easy that an exhaust shop can remedy...

Also, you wouldn't be able to use an aftermarket intake with a turbo kit as the turbo usually has it's own inlet tube and filter...

Have you considered something slightly more dependable, like a DP on a house, or a long-term financial investment?

thought about it, but no...gotta love military housing

My honest opinion is that if you have the kind of money to turbo an Altima, then get a more tune-friendly car with a stock turbo. 6 grand in that kind of car will set you WAY ahead in terms of performance.

Don't listen to these chumps. A turbo'd altima is awsome. Do it and let us see how cool you are.

I don't know about you...but having this would be pretty cool...even though it doesn't look all that cool...It moves out for what it is...

A failed transmission on top of a 6K bill is a hefty price to pay imho, especially considering the value of the car.
