License was gone for 6 months, finally got it back, bought a Sentra for 1k with only 120k miles on it. 2 door coupe, auto, not SE-R( i wish lol) Anyone tell me what kind of cars they are and how I did price wise?

great cars. I think a member on here(se-rious iirc) has one but in se-r trim. swap a sr20, boost it and you're done for life. oh, and the price paid is pretty damn cheap.

they are ok cars the GA16de will last awhile i had one with almost 250k miles
but yeah a sr20 swap is best ..
and $1k isnt to bad if it isnt ragged out but the a/t deff kills the power.

Great car if you can find one in good condition. Cheap on gas, insurance and parts. The GA16DE would last a lifetime if you take care of it. My friend had one with 300,000 miles and still had good compression numbers.

Great car, Easy to work on, never will give you problems. Will make a great sleeper, just do a bluebird engine swap, Jimwolf ECU upgrade, injectors and convert it into a 5speed with parts from pullapart.

yeah they're cheap until you do the swap and require a new clutch every couple of thousand miles....seriously though I wouldn't have it any other way. I get 10 mpg but I'm also pushing 250 hp...

10mpg and only pushing 250HP? What kind of car is this? I made 320WHP and I still get 28/32 MPG and I haven't replaced the clutch in nearly 2 years.

My plan of action is leave car totally stock and put a T25 and a SMIC on it at 6 pounds. Sleeper ftw. :) and cheap too

Thatd be a waste of money when you can buy a neo vvl sr20ve motor and just convert it to a 5spd. that'll put you in the 14's without bolt ons all motor. 13's all motor with bolt ons and ecu. Just get the bigger 93-94 bumper they have on some sentras, lower it and get some wheels.. your dun for life. ;)

free T25, free eclipse SMIC, home-made piping to work... yeah, it will be a lot cheaper than a SR swap.

It would be cheaper and easier to use the Nissan OEM T25 setup.

How do you get cheaper than FREE? just a thought....

To begin with the turbo doesn't come with a manifold which you have to get custom made. The B13 sentra does not have enough space for a side mount IC which it means paying for custom piping or even having to get a FMIC. You need to get a custom downpipe for that setup because the DSM turbos have a different flange than our T25's. You need to make a custom intake pipe. All your oil/water lines will have to be ordered made for that turbo and when you tap your block (If you are going SR20DE) pray to the car lords that they T25 DSM oil line will line up the one tapped on your block. If you want me I can keep on going......

So how mutch will your setup cost me? And how hard is it to install?

Like any other setup. Around $2000-$2500 if you want a car that will run right. I'm sure even with the Free T25 and SMIC is gonna run you about the same price but less headache since you can use parts that are being sold on the market. Nothing custom made.

Just a matter if finding someone that has a GA16DE setup for sale. Back when I had my T25 I found the manifold, turbo, oil/water lines and injectors for $600.
