You have a QG18DE in your car (your car is a B15 Sentra). The older B14 generation Sentra had the GA16DE. As far as I know, the GA series never reached 1.8 liters here in the USA. The QG18DE didn't get a lot of attention from aftermarket companies when it first came out, but now it's starting to receive support. With the parts that are out now, you can get most of the common bolt-on mods for your car, and more are on the way.

If you're really interested in learning about your car, read about the Project QG18DE Sentra on NissanPerformanceMag.com, and check out B15Sentra.net for help with mods and stuff. There are lots of guys on B15Sentra who have the same engine as you, and there are also a lot of guys there who have the SE-R with the QR25 engine, but they'll be glad to help you out if they can.

Once you've done some research, if you REALLY think you want to go turbo with your QG, I suggest you talk to Chimmike (that's his user name) over on B15Sentra.net. He's a search nazi, so he can seem a little harsh if you ask a lot of noob questions, but he's got some experience with forced induction on the QG18, so he's worth talking to if you're serious about going turbo.
