i cant think of how many close races i couldve won with another 1500rpm in the motor

No wing on this car. THe badge had to be a fake.

So would it be worth it to just invest in the engine parts that are new in the 07 model? Same engine with some different parts which bring the HP & TQ up, right? So why not get those parts in throw them in your own engine and run a bit better? Am I crazy for thinking this?

I think the new 2.5's are bored out differently, you can't just slap their engine makings into the old 2.5. Plus, if you are going to go out of your way to make the spec an all engine car, it's 100 times better to do the 3.5VQ Altima swap. There is no substitute...

Interesting. This is my first Nissan ever (novice car tuner) so I'm still learning the in's and out's.

what kind of nissan?

[Rowen'sSpec-V]

The question i have is what all has changed on this engine. Is the head the only thing that has been reworked. If this is the case then i am going to have to assume that this head would bolt onto an 05's block. With so much head difference, a simple swap would be in order to pick up much of those gains. What has been done with the block?

[nismo_pilot]

forged internals and new cam profile, the rods are stronger the crank is balanced, basicly everything you would want to do to your car to make it handle more power, i wouldnt worry about sourcing rods and cams from the dealer, just wait for a bit till someone thows one in the junkyard and steal the whole engine.........lol

[Rowen'sSpec-V]

At this point once we got these into the mix, so you think this will help mainstream the Spec-V any at all to help alleviate the outrageous arse-raping prices and lack of parts?

Secondly, how sick do you think it would be to have the first Turbo'd Spec with this engine. Sleeved block and all?

Nevermind the price tag thing that will make your heart shutter.

eh... I like turbos, but I just hate the fact that EVERYONE goes turbo anymore. No doubt it's a great mod... but it's just so freaking trendy. I guess it would be neat to have the first turbod spec... power wise. Cosmetically, it would suck ass.

[Rowen'sSpec-V]

I think what i'm going to try to attempt to do pending the money would be to put that engine in my 05 Spec. Build it before it goes in. But that will require finding a buttload of money. But this is where it would get pimp though. I hate the exterior. I don't know why they do this stuff to these cars. I like this generation of the sentra 02-06. This new one is just an arse kiss away. I don't know that many people will buy this engine setup and everything with how ugly this car is.

To be honest it looks alot more like an Altima, and looks much bigger.
I hate the way vehicles are trending............


Garbage

but give me the engine

[Chiquae07]

i wouldnt necessarly say that going turbo is trendy. its just that now the common man can afford them, and there has been quite a bit of research and testing done on the qr25de now. thats what i believe it comes down to.

i mean, when you saw the first ever turboed k24 acure rsx, you think it was cheap? that kit was pure custom. no engine managment readily availible and things of that sort. now we know how far the engine can go.

speaking of everyone going turbo on the specs...
there is 2 people that i can think of that supoercharged their specs. its different, more expensive as more turbo research has gone in, but the possiblitys are still there.

rowen im going to be a little nicer than slideways but i think you come to us from the honda forums and correct me if im wrong, but with the new internals, they basicly did everything that JWT would do to your car, the rev limit is higher at 7200rpm and all, you wont need block sleeves, or anything else, with forged innards and higher rev limit you could supercharge it and run about 15-20lbs of boost and make more power than that car could put to the track, also you could spray higher than a 50 shot if you wanted to, all in all the new redesign has promise all in itself, you wouldnt need to do much but add a FI method and some nitrous, then invest in your tires/ suspension ect because youre going to need it, you can talk about sleeving an open deck block but come on, its FWD

[Rowen'sSpec-V]

Your somewhat right. I used to have a honda. I used to post on here all the time and everything but forgot my account information. I've pushed both a prelude and a civic before deciding that i deserved better. I post in the civic forums now only toward inquiries with my brother, cause he still has a civic. I guess my whole thing is that i look to get more out of my engine. To me i want it built to hold or handle anything as a daily driver. I drive alot, and where as the gas doesn't bother me as much, if i had to rebuild the engine every year that would. Thats the only reason i would sleeve. I always hear so many flaws about the qr25, but i hear praise. I personally love my car, but there is so much that can be done to make this car better. My car not being paid off yet prevents me from ripping into it. I just really like to explore all aspects before i decided to do something, and this would be a big project. I'm a family man, and sprimary supporter so i get limited sometimes to the money i have to work with. I just don't want to have to do it twice. Thats all. So i do welcome any constructive criticisms.

Thats how you pick things up. With open discussion and understanding. I don't come here with as much experience as some of everyone else does so i learn. Even when people are ragging on me.

[nismo_pilot]

yeah its cool, but the 02-06 qr is pretty weak and needs rods and some milling work on the crank for wider bearings, after that it holds up pretty well with the exception of the head gasket, you only need to build the block if you want more than 300hp out of it safely
