All those extras like gaskets and such, they arent included with the hotshot kit? I thought the kit was pretty much complete with the exception of the JWT ECU.
Also do you think adding the turbo to your car has reduced its reliability at all?
AND ALSO SOMEONE SHOULD MAKE THIS A STICKY

Why make my sentra faster when I can beat any car on my bike!!!
took me altogether work wise about 6 hours... could have been faster but had problems with nuts...
the gaskets are included but depending on what kit you get they get stingy with what they give you... the install kit (feed line, oil T's and such) is way over priced in my opinion!

ohhh 6 hrs isnt that bad. I thought you were gonna say like 12hrs or something.
I'm not lookin to do this this week or month anyways. Already spending nearly 3Gs on wheels n suspension n stuff. Would be nice to not have to gun it anymore though going up hills! 150WHP would be perfect for me in this car.
installation takes 6 hours... after that there's a lot of time trying to get it to run right.... took me one weekend but had to wait on a new gasket for the throttle body/intake manifold... that gasket has a problem of leaking under boost... there's only like .125" of gasket material that's actually doing anything...
I get about 25-29 mpg combined city/hwy miles... all highway could be as high as 32-34, all city can be as low as 22... I have a large tranny cooler that I must relocate to the side soon.
let me hold off on the shift kit... it' still not done yet and I want to recieve it, install it and be sure of it's quality before I say a name... I don't want to give free undserved advertising!
Left side of first T plugs into engine block.
Bottom of first T is the stock OEM sensor.
The two T's connect in the middle.
Bottom of second T is an optional aftermarket oil pressure gauge.
Right side of second T is the oil feed to the turbo.
Illustration is pretty much that but the T's were upside down.
about the pre drill oil pan about how much do those run? and what did you do did you get a pre-drilled or drill yourself? how big did you need to drill and how did you seal the hole if you did do it yourself?

Originally posted by James well if you get the HS kit the IC should be pretty self explanatory... just connect the pipes. they don't include instructions with theirs... I don't think they remember how they put it together! If you go another IC you'll have to put it together yourself anyways and there are plenty of sites about how to do that with a couple of U bends, which is what I did.
I intend on fabbing my own IC kit but you wouldnt happen to know how much HS charges for their entire piping setup do you (just the piping)?
