k, i got an 85 nissan sentra 1.5 liter. im sick of 0-60 in 49.8876 seconds, i gotta have more power. first im gonna replace the original 300000 mile cv axles =) and the engine has bout 90k on a rebuild. my question, whaats a good exhaust, i need a k and n, aand whaat could i do short of NOS? do you guys know anyone that makes a forced induction kit, ie turbo or supercharger, for 1.5 liter i4 carburated nissan? id like maybe to run juice,but im not so sure about the bottom end yet. any other ideas for better power? who makes a cam for less than 200? intake porting? head work? possible numbers? smll block?j/k thanks guys

 

how big of a tip can you stand on the car?
i would say an exhaust would be the first cheap mod and gives thing you should do to it. as for cams well I dont know it has been a while since I looked for parts for a car that has cams and pistons and stuff.
but for a car that old you prolly not going to find much
but hey if you want to talk more just IM me or use ICQ
check the sig

Why dont you go to a Nissan site? I think they could help you alot more than camaro guys could. I dont know jack **** about the car you got and I doubt anyone else knows alot either.

 

i have a funny feeling you just started something

heh i dont mind helping others out but an 85 sentra? dude, go buy a p.o.s thirdgen camaro for like $1000 with a 305 and solve your problem, and people wont flame you when you come on our boards...

 

a POS 305 camaro will probley be just as fast

 

sorry have to throw it in here but you can also pick up a old first gen rx7 for about 500 bucks and pull some minor mods and make it fairly fast
or step up to a second gen like what I have and you can even get an N/A to pull 14.x with minor mods

if he is looking at making an 85 sentra fast he probably doesnt have the money to put an import into the 14's

 

hey silverstreak-
for your sentra, if you really want to
add power to your nissan, first of all you
need to try and find a cheap header
(i think hedman makes one for your car, as
well as pacesetter-they probably have a
cheap cat back exhaust too)
next get a down pipe- might have to be custom
made, but find a muffler shop and they'll
probably do it.
then-if you live in an area where there is
no e-check, put a test pipe in place of the
cat- or just have it gutted out.
also try to fabricate a cold air intake out
of flex hose and put a piece of pvc on the end and fit a k&n cone (it'll work better than the cylinder shaped k&n)try to route
this into the fender well-but keap it sealed
up- keeps water out
after that, try a tune-up and have the carb
cleaned-this should help a little

 

Get a greddy exhaust(or a lesser brand), headers, aerospeed intake, and clean and tune everything up. That will cost maybe under 1,000. It's give you a nice little import that's not rice.

 

First you get a gallon of diesel fuel and a road flare.......

 

Well first off thanks to those that gave me some ideas. especially those tht gave brands. now for those of you who don't know, i have an 87 z28 with an l98 and complete drivetrain suspension etc out of an 89 IROC, oh yeah, 27k on the drivetrain, poly bushings, trw 1" drop springs, stroked, bored, ported and polished, airfoil, headers, 3" exhaust.... used to be a tpi 305 till someone stole it and stripped it, so now we did a swap/ the sentra is te mileage car. can't beat 35 mpg on the street man, but if there was a single slowest car on earth.... cant take the z on the hour plus commute, just a little too paranoid for that one, not to mention the 18 mpg on the freeway. dam* gears. anyway, im a thirdgenner, just can't stnd havin such a sloooowwwwwwwww driver, so people like monkie and sc(although sc is funny) need to pay attention to the subject line where i asked IMPORT guys like rx7 to help me out. oh and rx7, where could i find one for 500? i been lookin, everyone wants 1500+ out here. i love that rotary, still no match for a small block, but if i need n import, thats the one id want. as for nissan boards, i dont know any and my guess is that theyll be full of ricers tellin me to toss a few stickers on it. thanks again to those that actually said something intelligent.

 

I have seen them at the local car lots around here

also you can go to www.thepartstrader.com and ebay.com


granted they dont always look that great and you are prolly not going to get much more thne 20-25 mpg out of them but a little bit of work and well yeah they can do a bit

mine with just 1.3L only mods include a blown muffler,header,mild port intake, and intake filter pulled a best of 14.8 at 92

put the turbo on there and pulled a g-tech of 12.5 so they can do some nice stuff also

as for the nissan forums though I have no clue

I would say just look around

Did I help any? My friend has a 89 crx si, so I know what all the good brands to buy for imports are. Greddy is like their borla and stuff like that.

my friend had bought an 86 RX-7 for 500 bucks, man was that car a piece! but it was a fun piece until he reved it to like 10 grand or something like that. that car was the funniest thing, he was always drivng it around w/ no rocker panels or a hood

memories.....

if he wasnt a moran about it he could have nicely restored that car. ive always had a soft spot for RX-7s.
