I just got my SE-R 5 speed the other day for 13 grand,it had 15k miles on it and it was in mint condition.I haven't took it to the track,but i heard it was about a 16 second car.My goal is to get it to a 13.8.I was wondering how difficult this would be for me,and how much power can the QR25DE handle?
you won't do 13.8 with full bolt ons. it's a mid 15 second car as it stands.
as for how much power it can handle....I'll tell you now, but I'll also suggest you do a bit of searching and reading on this forum
in terms of turbo it can handle up to 280whp safely...maybe a little less. Nitrous, I'd say less......because nitrous hits a lot harder than turbo (instantaneously instead of steady build with boost)
Ok i found something in the forums.With bolt on's i can only get into the high 14's and would cost some money.I have another question though.Is it true that once ur car is broken in properly u can red line it every once in a while and it would be alright for ur car?
i've seen numbers around 250whp on turbo QR's. but there is alot of extensive and labor intensive work involved. SR swaps are possible, i've seen a few done on B15's, but not spec-v's.
any ammount of power is available, but it all depends on how much cash you're willing to spend

It's not gonna be that fast unless you turbocharge, which right now seems to be a costly project. On a related note, the 2004 SRT-4 runs a 13.7 stock.
there's no doubt that the SE-R is a damn good lookin car.i'll tell a srt-4 owner that his car is just a neon with a pt cruiser engine.Oh and it looks like a bug(everytime i see them headlights im like "im glad i dont own that car")

Looks are all preference. While I like my SE-R, the engine in the SRT-4 is better designed, probably more reliable in the long term and obviously is more powerful and has potential. If you read up on the internals of the SRT they are pretty nice for 19 grand. While looks can be disputed all day, the fact that the Neon SRT-4 is a 13 second car stock cannot.
