if I was you, I wouldn't think about putting a kit together until you learn about turbo...................................I can make a kit for you, but still, do a LOT of research

for one thing, learn how turbochargers work, how the whole system works, what supplements turbochargers, what the principals behind them are, etc.

First, I'd say find someone close to you that does have some knowledge about engines and modding to help you out. If your new to the scene, I wouldn't recommend going turbo just yet. Theres a progression to modifiying your car. Start with the normal bolt-ons (learning about the car & engine along the way) and then work your way to going turbo.

Second, when you do decide to go turbo, either find a shop or someone with ALOT of experience doing turbo's...not just someone that has done it once or twice and says they can do it for you. Just ask QGuru from the B15 forum, he slapped on a huge turbo on his GXE, didn't take the proper steps on preparing his motor, fuel mangement, etc...and the car didn't make it a block before the motor blew.

Third, Travis from www.Forcedinductionracing.com can help you when your at that "I need boost" stage, he's a very useful source of knowledge when it comes to boosting B15's. Also you may want to try and contact www.sr20development.com they've been in the Nissan scene forever doing turbo's and engine swaps.

And of course you could keep tuned to my articles on NPM.

yeah. im not going to do anything to my engine until around september or october cause i still have a lot of researching to do and im waiting to get some money. i have some friends that have hooked up a few hondas.. and they recommend that i go with getting an intake and exhaust system before i do anything else so i will probably end up doing that. oh yeah i was wonderin is there any way to split the exhaust so that i have two mufflers, one on each side, because the body kit i am thinking about gettin wouldnt look right unless i had that done.

dual exhaust isn't possible on the sentra because of the condenser canister under the drivers side rear. I had looked into exactly what that does in the FSM, and it is a vital piece of equipment that I wouldn't touch.

yes, QGguru on the boards is wise in the ways of BOOM. What was he running, a t3/t4??? Either way, before we knew it, he had turbocharged AND blown his engine....................it was very unsuccessful, lol.
