97 maxima, skyline engine swap is it possible?

[kman10587]

The fact that you mention sponsors makes this sound like just another ricer fantasy. Swapping a rear-wheel-drive, twin-turbocharged engine into a front-wheel-drive family car like the Maxima would be nearly impossible and unbelievably expensive. You'd be better off getting a rear-wheel-drive G35 coupe, modifying it to look like a JDM Skyline (not too difficult, I see it done around here all the time), and turbocharging it. It won't be quite as fast as a true Skyline, but it will be much cheaper and easier to obtain.

Import tuner just did an article on a twin turbo charger (GReddy) for the 350Z. I believe it is on their website now. Seeing as the VQ35 is tuned the same way for the skyline/G35 and the 350Z it may work in that application. Go for the G35 anyway even if you dont do any mods.

Or wait until 2007 when they introduce the skyline GT-R to the USA.

or buy a G35x(AWD) and put the TT greddy kit on that. Greddy's kit is said to pump out 440 RWHP so it'd probably be 420 AWHP, and it's already the same ATTESSA tranny that is on the GTR's stock. that'd kill a stock R34 GTR and is probably what the upcoming skyline is going to be, more or less.
