what is the best turbo for 02 maxima 3.5 v6 under 3grand?

Question

a good brand

Answer 1

There are NO available turbochargers for the 02 Maxima. The only way to install a turbo for the 3.5 is to piece together the parts yourself, fabricate the manifolds, intercooler pipes, downpipes, exhaust, etc..etc..

$3000 does not go a long way with turbocharging an 02 maxima, that will probably buy you most of the parts, but you'll be spending more on tuning, dyno time, engine build-up, stronger driveline components, and all that relates to a turbo build.

I suggest NOT going turbo with the maxima since it will give you more headache than it's worth. What you can do is stay N/A get a 17* advanced timing, VAFC, Intake, Headers, and Exhaust. You will get somewhere in the neighborhood of 30+ whp with tuning and proper components.

Answer 2

Education will set you free, check out the book Turbochargers, by Hugh MacInnes. You'll learn every thing you want to know about turbocharging, and things you never even considered before.
