You may want to check out the turbo sticky at the top of this forum. I'm not aware of any supercharger kits for any sentras at all, (except for custom kits), and honestly, I don't think anybody has ever tried to supercharge a 1.8L sentra.Pharrari said:I'm really thinking about supercharging my sentra 1.8s instead of turbo charging it. Would it fit? If it does fit can I still install the NA upgrades for the car such as the hotshot CAI and headers?
I thought someone on this forum told us to not use bolt onstony200 said:procharger has a universal sport compact kit. i spoke to 1 of the representatives and he said that its possible you just need to do alot of fabrication. its more worth getting bolt ons than the supercharger.

NickZac said:I have seen more supercharger projects go sour than deer poop or something like that. If this isnt your daily driver and you are willing to spend a boat load of cash and risk some fubar'in, then go for it! But I'de reconsider honestly...
Also, considering a turbo is being done by a member on the forum here who has had much success (see old fart above me), I'de welcome that as it is perfect guidelines and proof that the turbo works on the QG.
Jarek said:Supercharging in the visual sense.... is better on a v-block motor rather than in an inline 4... like the pathfinder for instance? early 90's pathfinders? lol :thumbup:
If im not mistaken, it really depends on how much power loss is incurred by adding an additional pully to the entire belt and pulley system of a particular vehicle.... so basically if you lose more power than than you getting out of the SC then well evidently its not worth it. Some vehicles benefit others dont... thats whats the beauty about turbos.... with enough work they can be placed on almost any vehicle. Just requires some $$$oakey66 said:I thought that was a stupid idea because superchargers drain to much power from the car to make it worth while.
That's exactly what I thought. I've read horror stories about how people put custom superchargers on a 4 cylinder and had the thing die on them because the engine fell short when driving the belt of the supercharger.Jarek said:If im not mistaken, it really depends on how much power loss is incurred by adding an additional pully to the entire belt and pulley system of a particular vehicle.... so basically if you lose more power than than you getting out of the SC then well evidently its not worth it.

Ive watched and read about an 87 pathfinder with the VG30 supercharged... well they got pretty damn good results, they cut down the 0-60 time about 3-4 seconds over N/A so... thats pretty damn good. also theres more room on a V block motor.. an Inline motor is small for a reason, small vehicle small motor... Inline 4 = turbo > supercharger
and thats my two cents on it
lol.... with probably stock internals? jeez poor GAChuck said:some guy on here made one.. and underestimated what could happen.. he took a supercharger off a mercedes, and slapped it on a GA, after 3 days of running, he decided to hook up a boost guage.. and found he was boosting 18psi... right before he blew his motor, Then sold the kit on e-bay
