I would think if you tried a separate oil system, you would need a way to cool the oil.

I'm staying away from a stand alone unit. For the money, I'm set on the e-manage. I'll put in a 255lph fuel pump, 370cc injectors, a universal FMU, and the E-manage. Some ebay boost controller, and timer. The turbo will probably be a t3 .60ar, not sure on specific brand/model. So i don't know how hot something like that will get but I've heard RMT's don't need an inter cooler also because the charge pipe is so long it helps cool the air.

It helps, but not that well. The way intercoolers cool so effectively is by splitting the air into multiple paths, all of which have lots of cooling surface - all those fins. Hoping air will cool the charge merely by running over the charge piping is like running an air-cooled engine without any fins. Or fans, for that matter. Just intercool it.

Or better yet, just do it right and mount it in the engine.

Lol, whats wrong with being different. I dont mind everyone on here doing things the ol' fashion way but lets think outside the box and try new things. For civics it aint to hard getting turbo manifolds, but for a maxima they dont exist and im not spending 800 dollars to have em made up. I can weld the turbo rear mount myself and i wont cost anything.

well if you can weld a rear mount your self why not weld a traditional manifold ::) Why overcomplicate something to be "different"

I dont even know how to join the two manifolds, unless i just run the turbo off the front manifold...actually...that might not be a bad idea. Im not boosting too much so i shouldnt need to run it off all 6 cyls. Any input from someone who could tell me how the two manifold are typically joined?

Adapter plate, ie 3/4 thickness steel plate with a 4 bolt pattern for your turbo to mate up to, find a way to weld it onto the header if possible and make it fit. another option is to flip the headers at the flange to do a top mount turbo allowing you to possibly get all 4 cylinders.com

Also as i said i'll need to figure this whole oil cooling thing out. Im thinking about picking up one of those fuel tanks from jegs, and an oil pump mount both in the trunk and cut holes in the floor for the lines to run to the turbo. Is that theoretically possible, using a small gas cell, the drag racing style ones, as an oil reservoir? Intercooler i've been told by like 20 people should not be used with this car, ecspecially for smaller turbos. As for right now, im just starting to look at welders, i've got a lot of practice to do before this project!!

WOW i felt my ------- brain rotting as i checked out that maxima.org website, never have i seen so many ------- automatic, nig painted interiors, intook-headaz-exhost, nos floormatted, ill minded equipped people in my life. I instantly wanted to make a massive donation of ropes all to this maxima.org website. Even more after seeing this one dousch that i have seen try to stunt so ------- hard everytime im down at the races in kent. http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=509465
It makes me proud to be at a site where bang for buck is always the first thing in mind.

Ye i agree they are very ricey there, they dont care about hp, just looks. Only reason im a member there is for tech advice on repairs. Why do you think i came here for advice on a turbo? As for my car, its stock outside, mad pimped inside, i decorated the back seat with like 20 college books and a few jackets.
