Building a Turbo Maxima:

Air Delivery:
Turbo
Feed-pipe - connects the turbo to the exhaust manifolds (exhaust wrap is a good idea to keep heat in and velocity up) (use mandrel bent pipe)
Wastegate - controls how much boost you run, by dumping excess exhaust out of the up-pipe.
Blow off valve
Intercooler
Intercooler piping (and silicone connectors) (use mandrel bent pipe, aluminum is best)
 

Fuel Delivery:
To run:
Walbro 255LPH high pressure in-tank fuel pump (GSS342 drops in)
Vortech FMU

To run better:
Larger injectors ('95 300zxTT 370cc injectors are a common swap because of their easy drop in ability and low price)
Emanage to control the injectors

Exhaust:
Downpipe (exhaust wrap is a good idea to keep exhaust heat in) (use mandrel bent pipe)
High flow cat and catback (use mandrel bent pipe)



 

Other Items:
Suggested Electronics to start with:
Boost and EGT Gauges
Turbo Timer

Battery Relocation (0/1ga wire is recommended)
Oil feed + return lines

Transmission:
Manual:
The stock clutch will only hold to a certain point. Then an upgraded clutch would most likely be necessary.  ACT is a popular choice because of its proven quality. The ACT Street/Strip clutch w/ Heavy Duty pressure plate is the common maxima kit, p/n NM1-HDMM and runs $273.  This has a reputation for blowing transmission, but that is not the clutch's fault.  It is usually the drivers fault, but in some cases people simply make too much power for the tranny.

Automatic:
It is a good idea to start with a VB mod and transmission cooler. Keeping an automatic together over time with power is still being researched. Converting to a 5speed is another option.
