Okay, gonna use this thread as a collection of information for my new pet project. Gonna turbo my parent's company car, a black Nissan Sentra XG-L automatic. The existing Sentra came with a Nismo bodykit..., but I've always found it to be retarded that the bodykit looks nice, but the car isn't fast enough to back up the looks.

Not pic of my car, obviously, but is the same model.



So, I have question for you guys:

-What's the engine code for the Sentra 1.8? I spent too much time in US oledy..., no idea what they dump into the Malaysian market cars.
-Who is the local Brembo dealer? I want real Brembos..., not cheap copy shit.
-Turbo kit. Who is the popular Nissan tuner here? Don't think Nismo has a turbo...

When turbo is on, I'll put on a HKS SSQV, for that "whistle" when you let your foot off.

This project will take some time..., and when I get done, I want to race a Type-R. Anyone here got Type-R willing to volunteer?

You install this already add 20 HP

LOL.

I might as well tint my windows and get an extra 100HP!!!

too bad sentra rim too small

too bad with power, it does not have the handling to match

Ya lor hor..., I forgot about that. Used to my RX-8's 18 inchers already

If like this..., I wonder if I can just fit a 6pot caliper? I'll go check later, see how much space got.

Eh, this will be a pure straight line car. Idea is to BLAST down the straights, hard on brakes, then turn. Rinse and repeat. I expect loads of mad torque steer, understeer and might be difficult to control.

But who cares? End up faster than Type-Rs I believe.

Plus, IIRC, the Sentra came with adjustable suspension. The suspension "broke" once, send into service, say not broke, so only retune the suspension, and it works fine again.

Dunno leh?

How about fitting the SR20DET inside this car?

The FF version from the Pulsar

SR20DET's are pretty cheap, parts are common, and u dont need to fabricate so many things.

SR20DET? Do tell more. I'm interested.

How do the HP numbers compare to the Silvia one?

LOL

wtf

Ya. I'm not kidding.

Want to prove a point that instead of spending 15k being a stupid ricer wannabe to build a TepR, I can spend that same amount and smoke real Type-Rs.

See thread below for reference:

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/718243

You can opt for the SR16 or the SR20DET. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTI-R

Powerwise its similar to the early Silvia generations.

If u are not keen on an engine/gearbox transplant. Then maybe u can approach bolt-on turbo kit suppliers like WorksEngineering, i see them advertise their turbokits @ Eneos.

Mmrm..., if must do gearbox transplant, it's going to cost more than 15k. This is just to prove a point..., so I think I might do bolt-ons.

Thanks for the info!

Better u ask JPJ on qualified engine for transplant, cause Sentra biggest displacement is 1.8l. Afraid when come to time you have problem to register engine.

Look like you have large amount of money. Why not play with N/A tune. I could recommend a place to you.

don't cry if you kena tapau by a k3VET equipped kenari on BOTH straights and corners. sentra doesn't come with coilovers. even the ones with nismo bodykits have standard shocks.

Try to source sr16ve..very good engine, equavailent and challneger of honda b16c

LOL Kenari with K3VET. That will be *very* interesting.

Hard to beat Kenari with a decent engine la. So small car..., light... Nothing I can do about that.

If Sentra only got standard shocks, I think I might just go seize the rear suspension, so in terms of straight line performance, there won't be loss of traction. Turning will be "fun" though.

that's the thing. if you're only thinking about straightline performance, forget about BOT. sure it has the power, but reliability? don't forget, its still a company car secondly, i doubt the new sentra is able to fit older generation engines, although you can always use custom mounts, its still a company car. Lastly, the civic FD2R is built for racing, and even with a souped up sentra that weighs about the same, its comparing apples to oranges as his car is essentially stock from the factory.

Ya. But I'm building this car to prove a point to the TS in that thread. He wants to convert a 1.8 Civic to a "TepR". Want to show him that you can use 15k to make a 1.8 FASTER than a Type-R, rather than waste money on useless body kits.

Just leave him alone ler, its a fact that his car WILL not be a Type R anyway with just bodykits
