Hey my father recently bought me the 03 Sentra GXE, and I was wondering what engines i could swap and put under the hood because the GXE Engine doesn't back enough horsepower for me, if anyone knows anything about this please give me some info on it thanks
Tried it in and get a SE-R spec v and pay the difrence. I just seems way to new to want to swap an engine in.
Also for legailty, you would most likely have to stay with USDM Sentra engines 03 and newer. so the only better engine you could get would be the SE-R spec V 2.5L. Which like i said you might as well traied it for one, because it would be cheaper.

The best engine to drop in is the SR20DE. It will work best with the rest of your car and it is very easy to get this engine the 400 horse power range. It is 145 whp but with just the smallest amount of upgrades you can get it scream'n 200+ and if you really want some hp then get a turbo and some other upgrades. If you want after market perfomance parts then you can get them at discount through me. I open my buisness in late May called Crazy Car Audio and More I will sell all aftermarket parts for the leading import cars, not to mention the huge selection of audio.
im probably going to have around 4-5 grand to play around with so im just trying to figure out which way is the best to go, whether it is an engine swap or modding my current engine
It depends if you want brand new or used. Ohhh... yah one more thing the best way to do it is buy a used (broken in) about 30k on it already with turbo. i.e. the sr20det its like the sr20de but with a lot of upgrades already on it. It is ported to 2.5 L and has a lot more mods including turbo. All these parts are upgradable as well. I have many connections. And I am willing to set you up with a SR20DET S15 which has 250 horsepower upfront. Average engine has 30k or less and is hand picked. If you were wondering the engine comes from the Nissan "Silvia" as most call it. Its not sold here in america.
Well the silvia would be a nice choice but seens its not transvers monted your going to have a hard time getting it to work with your sentra. If you dont care about being legale your best bet would be a GTi-R or Sunny engine, they are the transvers monted. they came from the pulsar, sentra, and sunny. the older ones had about 210 hp and the later models had about 230hp. you will have to find a USDM SR20de tranny as there trannys are AWD. If you want more info on them, check here www.srswap.com but i still stand by what i said frist, and that is to just traid in for a SE-R sepc V sentra and save yourself the pain and money it would cost for the swap.
some info about the SR20de(t) engine. I have not heard of porting an engine to make it biger, you can stroke it, and bore it over, but your not going to get .5 leters from that. you might be able to get .25 (.2 from a stroker kit and .05 from over bore). the engines are very good though, and can make a good amount of power, 350rwhp can be had with fuel and turbo upgrades.
i dont know much about the vq25ve (think thats the engine name) engine thats in the SE-R spec V, but i do know it takes well to bolt ons, and would be covered in warenty and would be legal if you traided in for it.
