I am looking for a turbo kit for A 96 Nissan Sentra GXE GA16DE engine. I was looking at the hotshot kit untill I discovered that there is no hotshot anymore would anyone know where I could find a turbo kit for my car? I am looking to add as much power as possible. Thanks!!
TSI makes a kit for your car, but it comes with a pretty small turbo (t-20), and is not best for maximum power. I got the kit for a starter kit, because I didn't have enough know how at the time to make my own kit. If you want the most possible power I would either try to find someone selling a used hotshot kit or make your own custom kit.
Hi, i am a newbie. My name's jon. I have a 99 GXE and i found that Import parts plus has a turbo kit with the same t-20. I spoke to one of the salesmen there and he said that they will upgrade to a t28 for minimal extra money. I plan to get that kit. It comes with the manifold and downpipe with a black box for the fuel injection or extra injector in the throttle body. You can also get the front mount or source your own. Without the intercooler, it's around $1500.
If your going to be running a t-28 and substantial amounts of boost go with the intercooler, theres no way around that. It's probably the same kit I have with an upgraded turbo. If it is the same, it comes with two extra injectors, which help with fuel, but I am still looking into a jwt ecu retune with bigger injectors.

I think im going to try and make my own kit seeing how all the kits im finding right now only have a t-20 turbo and im looking for either a t-25 or t-28. Im going to see if they'll do the same for me and upgrade to a t-28 and get the intercooler. Im acually also thinking about an Sr20 swap and boosting that. Not sure yet still debating.
If you just want to make the absolute biggest amount of power possible than the sr20 is probably the way to go, but swapping a motor and putting in a turbo is alot of money and effort to think about. The ga will make a good amount of power in its own right though. What kind of hp numbers are you looking for?

Yes, I am running stock everything. I am running the stock air box, because I'm livin' poor and christmas is coming soon. I'm hoping to upgrade to a k&n cone filter soon, just don't have the money. The kit is running great, and it's alot faster. Here in east Tennennsee all we have is 1/8 tracks, and maybe a dyno. When I get past the holidays I will probably be going to one of them. Aiming to break into the 9's in the 1/8th.

How expensive are CAI's then?

It's also a turbo!
I honestly don't know. The kit came with flexible rubber piping, so I have relocated the battery to the trunk, and when I have the money I am going to get a maf adapter ($10 on ebay) and a cone filter and put it where the battery used to be. Never thought I could use the word and in a sentence so many times. Ahh doin' me english teacher proud!

Im wanting to get 250+ hp im willing to spend the money its just a matter of finding everything. Would anyone happen to know where i can find an SR20DE that can be swapped in my sentra?
I have a hotshot kit thats never been used. Does not include turbo or manifold but has everything else you need including jwt ecu. I wanna keep it and eventually turbo my sentra but ive got a different project right now. I was not planning on selling it but if one of you want it bad enough It will be hella overpriced lol. but pm if interested in paying 2.5k for a semi kit. After all there not made anymore. and when they were made it was 4k without the 600$ ecu. and the way i see it is gt28rs=1100$, manifold=300$. you do the math.

All right guys b13pnoysentra asked me some good questions about the tsi kit that aren't very clear in the descriptions, so I thought I would post the questions and awnsers here for all to see.
1. Why are you using the stock box for an air filter?
1. The kit uses the stock airbox, and I haven't had money to do an open filter yet.
2. What is your igntion timing set at when you boosted?
2. Not sure on timing, I don't have a light, so I just retarded mine till felt right. I think Wes said that 8 degreess is a safe bet on timing.
3. Why did you relocate the battery? Is it a fitment issue with the pipes?
3. I relocated the battery because that is where I am going to locate my filter when I get some money. I did not have to move it because of the kit. (It was free from a friend so I picked it up early)
4. I think I can live without the washer reservoir and cut up some plastic behind the front bumper. (Those are the only modification I had to make to the body to make it fit)
4. I haven't missed my resivour yet.
5. Where is the actual place or website you bought your kit on and what was the total price?
5. I bought mine from prostreetonline.com, I don't remember purchase price, but I have heard others say around 1500. When I talked to prostreet the guy hooked me up with some better shipping prices.
6. Is the intercooler paintable (I would paint mine black)?
6. I don't see why it wouldn't be paintable, but I didn't ask.
7. Did it come with that manifold?
7. Yes, it came with the manifold. The manifold came already bolted to the turbo.
8. What other parts did you need when you were installing the kit?
8. Other than oil change I can't recall having to get anything else. I got an oil press. and boost gauge to be safe. An aftermarket clutch isn't a necesity, but would help.
9. Was this worth the money and do you actually feel the car got faster? Main concern (can you beat a civic si?)
9. Yes, I believe it was worth the money. I can feel a difference. I haven't gone civic hunting yet, but the difference is noticable.
10. What boost pressure does the turbo let u set it at and how do you tell what boost you're running at?
10. Boost is preset at 6lbs, and it's not exactly adjustable. The extra injector controller tells current and max boost, but its not the easiest to see while driving so thats why I got the boost gauge mounted on my steering column.
If anyone else has any questions about the kit feel free to ask and I will awnser to the best of my knowledge.

Did you have to install any check valves into any of your vacuum hoses to keep boost from screwing anything up?
THIS thread [by James] has this quote in it: #18. "Tee the blow off/recirculating valve into a vacuum source after the throttle body (note: there is emissions equipment connected to the intake plumbing that is not boost friendly, in particular the EGR system, you must buy check valves to install inline in these vacuum lines to make sure they only see vacuum and never boost.)"
If I am removing the EGR system completely, is there anything else that needs a check valve to protect it from an unwanted boost signal?
