SOOO
I know this is a stupid questions, but what order would you guys recommed as far as bolt on performances??
What are the best intake kits
What kinds of exhaust size/muffler work good
ECU reprogrammer/chip??
I was also considering putting a carputer or laptop in the care at some point and get downsize/yet upgrade my sound system (fulll audiobahn w/ 5 amps,15" & 2 8" subs, components front, plate rear, clarion hu, clarion center)... any examples of SE-R with carputs? would I be able to monitor car functions from the computer as well.. maybe??
Is there a good aftermarket throttle body that increased imporfance, or MAF perhaps?
All I've done so far is remove the silencer. I was surprised to see the intake tube go into a box with a handfull of little holes dirlled in it.
Anyways, Go ahead and post your personal opinions, different brands if you can (links if possible)...
I haven't been able to find an official nismo site where I can find sentra upgrades...
anywas just seeng what you guys thing about where to start and what to use with mods. Its an automatice, and not a spec-v, just SE-R. Its already fun to drive, I can't wait to spend my paychecks on it!
first of all, if you have all this money for upgrades the first thing i would do is trade in your SE-R for a Spec-V. Then start modding it. what good are all the upgrades on an automatic.
second, search the posts here, almost all the answers to your questions have already been answered, re-answered, and hashed over again.

I got the SE-R because I was able to get it for 14,440. Plus, I need the auto cause i do too much shit while i drive and I need to pay attention to the road as much as possible. Also, in the searches I have done. everyone says they would go back and buy the SE-R anyways, because all the performance parts that make the Spec-V eventually get replaced. And the computer has aggressive shifting for the auto, so I don't mind not having a manual. Especially since my searchs also showed many had the opinion that built automatics have better times than the manual.
I could do searches forever on aftermarket parts, but if I could get opinions on the best place to start (bolt ons) as far as power/$$$... and get it in one thread, it would help me and other who are new to the sentra. Another amazing help would be which brands to go with. There are nismo intakes, K&N, etc etc... different brands for Throttle bodies. on my last car (explorer) first mod to add most power was intake, custom excaust, and then wider TB (which BBK was the best). However, on some cars a wider TB doesn't do crap and is a waste.
I couldn't really do a search to find "What order should I buy bolt on's in order to get the most for my money, and what brands should I use for the best outcome" That would be a pretty large search, with no returns... Searching for something specific is easy, but I want a broad range of info on a broad range of mods along with the different opinions from members on different brands, their advatages/weaknesses, etc.
Yes, I'm new to nissan mods .... and searching would not get me what I'm looking for with the questions on this post. too many unrelated posts come up when searching for a broad beginner question like this. I know every forum likes to say "try searching" but please, try helping?
I'm not trying to be an ass.... I just have a brand new Sentra SE-R and I'd rather hear a wide variety of opinions on the info I need, rather than searching through hundreds of posts that come up on a search. Just lettin you know, I'm not trying to be a jerk, just explaining why searching doesn't ALWAYS work (cause I already have).
And if you want to really try to make power, save your cash and talk to travis over at fi-r.net.
They are currently making VQ swap kits, and SQR blocks that have the supposed potential to hit 10k RPM.
E.] As a side note, go the I/H/E/MMI/BSR/CS to get around 175-178 whp.
Intake, header, exhaust, motor mount inserts, balancer shaft removal, cam shafts
