I've always liked reading the well documented project threads on this forum. I have a project of my own now, so I thought I’d create a thread for it. From this point forward, I’ll document everything I do here with plenty of pictures and commentary. Here is the car:
It’s a 1998 Sentra SE that I purchased from a forum member in January. It’s already got quite a few mods, but there is always room for improvement. My performance goals are somewhat modest, I’m looking for 250-275whp. I want a quality setup though. I won’t be half-assing anything, I can promise you that.
Here is the setup as it is now, mostly from the previous owner:
Roller Rocker SR20DE
T25 Turbo
Bluebird Manifold
2.5" Downpipe
Greddy SP Exhaust
Black FMIC with 2" Hot, 2.5" Cold Piping
1G DSM BOV
FAL Slim Fans
JWT ECU- 3 Bar, 370cc, Stock MAF
ACT HDSS Clutch
PS Short Shifter
Hyperco Springs
AGX Struts
Courtesy Front and Rear STBs
Wilwood 11" Brakes Front
Maxima Brakes Rear
SS Brake Lines
Altima MC

Plans for now include:
Full 3” Downpipe/Exhaust Upgrade
FPR/FP Gauge
Fuel Pump
MAF Upgrade/ ECU reprogram
LSD transmission/Axle swap
S3R cams
Intercooler Upgrade
Boost Controller
T28 Setup
I’ll end up adding quite a bit to that. The list above is just the general direction I’m going in, and loosely speaking, the order in which it will be completed. I’m sure I’ll address some cosmetic mods as well, but don’t get too excited. I’ll keep it pretty tame. I’m always open to feedback and suggestions. Please check back frequently.
