Here is the deal. I have a GA powered 99 Sentra. I want a Sentra with 300whp. Here are my choices #1 Swap a built SR20DET into the 99 or #2 Buy a Classic SE-R and Turbo it.
Pros of choice #1:
I have the car already.
All of my thourally reasearched suspesion,brake, and body mods will fit it.
I love 4 doors(yes its true)
Not resticted to modding the engine already in it(just replace it)
Cheaper(?)
Current chassis,interior, and exterior mods will carry over.
I do love my B14.
Cons of choice #1:
For Vermont State Inspection the car MUST retain OBD II compliance becasue of its year. (They hook up with a Scan-Tool and check for OBD II monitor rediness)
Down time during the swap.
Its a 4 door(weight).
Must swap engine,tranny,ECU, and harness(other stuff as well I imagine).
Pros of choice #2
OBD II..hells no I can go stand-alone with that baby.
2 door.
Can build the motor thats in it already.
Can use the stock tranny(modified(?)).
No vehicle down time(as I will still have the 99 to drive).
Cons of choice #2
Gotta buy a car, theres 4-5 grand right there.
Older car.
Must go reasearch chassis mods(it has taken me 2-3 years to find the stuff I want for the B14, do I want to start over?)
Most of the guages I would use I already have in the B14 I would have to swap or buy new.
Did I mention I love my B14.
More expensive(?)
Still paying off the B14
And I am sure the list goes on.
I NEED some help guys/girls. I am looking for tons of input, both from the professionals and the amatures on this board. All kinds of input, from technical issues to opinions. I have SE-Rs lined up to be bought, and a savings account that is slowly-but-surley rising.
