man just get the Hotshot Turbo kit for the 1.6. you'll make a little over 200hp

[200SXGTi-R]

if you dont have 4200 bucks then get a SR20DET and go from there. 3000 grand should get you spooling

well if you have 4200 to spend .
you could go with the hotshot turbo kit.

but I would have to agree with200sxgti-r.

but if you just want 200 ponys for 4200 bucks and less trouble.or spend
3000 bucks and have a bbdet with turbo up grade ,and a few xtras with205-220hp.

What i was thinking about doing was getting a Sr20det and boreing out as much as possiable then getting a stroker kit to get as much power out of it then gettin a SR trans. and switch in it to manual..for kicks...then slapin on the biggest turbo i could find while lowering it and getting new brakes and suppension...carbon fiber the whole inside....racing seats in front then custom sound system.... u know.. except body i dont really want to touch it .... well if any an R33 body kit...then custom skyline lights front and back... then the rear fenders the little bump out that it does that would be nice... but thats my plan for it hopefull around 450-500hp would be nice and probably eventuall switch it to all whell drive... yes i know its a lot of work and blah blah rice.. i dont care i want a nice car.... by the way i am serious.... please leave all feed back.....

Wow that is a cool dream. hope you get there.

There is a stroker kit out ther for the sr. the 2.2 kit for turbo's
and 2.4 kit for N/A apps.

450-500? Well I have seen very few sentras at that lvl. one such person
on www.sr20forums.com has 429HP but that's not all turbo. there out there but you have to sink in $30,000 or more to see those numbers in a FWD SR sentra. And to boot you'll need PAR gear sets from www.JGYcustoms.com
to hold all that HP ,or you'll spend the beatter half of the summer rebuilding,and replacing you trannys.

the cat in the bag question? where to put your cat well you dont have much choice why do you want to move it?

chip-

ok ... my exhaust is set up where its the exhaust manifold then directly after that is the cat. then a little like 1 ft pipe that goes to the end of the exhaust going through a resistor... i read some where if you take the cat anf put it further down the line it actually gains hp... true or not i dont know...i was wondering if i do move it down the line will it change anything...

does the SR20DET come with a Turbo??

SR is the engine type. 20 is the displacement. DE is duel over head cam . and the T is turbo. So it's safe to say yes the sr20det has a turbo... and to make that many ponys you need money ave sr20det makes 205-220 stock form.

I have the same question, but I want to put a SR20DET into my 2004 Sentra 1.8s. Does anyone know if that is possible?
