Us Maxima guys run a muck, even outside of our own domain......".org". I'm right behind you on my build, Zack. You're making me want to throw a blower on even more.

Why would I get rid of the supercharger? And Adman, I have had this car since I was 16. It was my first car and I could never get rid of it. Ill have to total it or blow it first.

the greddy one can be modified to work with the vortech. There is a DIY on this forum for that. Do some searching kiddo. the HKS bov out of the box will not work properly with the vortech

Any push type BOV, that can open at idle, like the GReddy, TiAl, Vortech of course, will work with some tweaking. The pull type BOVs cannot open at idle like the HKS SSQV or the Synapse, and thus don't work as well with the centrifugal SC. It will work at some level, but can possibly damage the supercharger bearings. The pull types are great for turbos, but just aren't designed for SCs.
When you are running one of the smaller pulleys you might have to modify the bracket. You might want to look on the org some for what you normally have to do, or maybe ask Matty.
The OP's build looks very nice. I am very interested on the results. I miss my Maxima(s). Now just image your car RWD, with shorter gears, and lighter.

who in the *** are you calling kiddo lol. I am talking about on a maxima, which in that case you can run ANY push type bov you want as long as you have the appropriate flange welded on to the inlet pipe. The same can be said on the z as long as the maf is after the bov.
Maybe next time you should clarify what you say instead of being so general.

It would definitely be nice to have rwd. However, I seem to have little trouble launching and keeping traction. Ive outlanched a few Z's hehe. But when I made the decision to get the motor, my other option was a daytona blue 2006 base model coupe with a 6spd. I was offered a smoking deal on it, but I wasn't ready financially to get it. And, I just couldn't say goodbye to Maxcine

sure, you can weld on four exhaust pipes and have them not connected to anything, and sticking all in opposite directions, but they won't do anything. Idiot
