Hey what's up guys, My name's Anthony and I'm from AB, Canada. This Sentra is my second SR powered car and I thought I'd finally convert my engine to what it was originally meant to be. So feel free to share your wisdom and input on any of the parts listed to aid in my road to boost.
Here's what I have to work with, a 2001 Nissan Sentra SE w/ PP that is currently rocking a
RR SR20DE with a 130,000 kms of road time on it.
That usually doesn't seem to bad for an eight year old car, but considering on how much more stress a turbo system puts on the motor I thought it be a good decision to buy a used
jdm engine.
note* black bold words are parts already
obtained and red bold words parts
needing to buy, blue words are for the rr sr20de+t
that I am no longer continuing to builld on
The first thing I immediately thought about was the turbo itself, so I looked around for a bit and stumbled upon a new
HKS GT2835 56 Trim turbocharger for only a $1000.00, don't you love EBay
, turbine A/R .64 internally waste gated. I also ordered a 4 bolt .61 A/R turbine housing to be used with a
38mm Tial waste gate with a mild 8.7 psi set spring for easy street drivability. As for a turbo manifold I went with
Protech's top mount shorty manifold and matching
3.00" downpipe.
Some parts I would also need to complete the set up are:
turbo gaskets (inlet, outlet, oil drain flange)
AN to NPT fittings for oil lines
the HKS oil feed kit comes with a built in restrictor in the fitting that is needed for the GT series turbos
steel braided oil lines:
-3 oil feed, -10 oil drain
oil drain flange
banjo fittings for water lines
Nissport oil sender adaptor for oil feed
water hose, vacuum/boost hose, clamps, tie downs
hardware
As for fuel management I went with some
MSD 72# low impedance injectors &
injector connectors, which I think will be needing
Resistors (JWT 6.8 Ohm, 10 Watt) because I will be using a
JWT programmed B14 ecu to control my set up, a
nismo fpr,
walbro 255 lph fuel pump and
jgy top feed fuel rail.
Keeping the boosted air cool is a
Precision 350HP intercooler, some
2.5" aluminized steel bends and a
3.00" intake pipe to plumb it all up. Since no company made a complete intercooler kit for a B15 SR20DE with a Protech set up gave me no choice but to make my own. A
Nissan OEM blow off valve(recirculated) will help to keep compressor surge away while a
z32 MAF (draw through) keeps the AFR's in check.
Some parts I would also need to complete the set up are:
silicone couplers, clamps
bov flange & gasket
air filter, adaptor
Just in case,
OEM Head Studs
Cometic Head Gasket
To cap things off I plan to get an
F1 Racing Stage 3 clutch & flywheel so I don't burn my OEM on the first ride around the block, a
3.00" VRS exhaust and
high flow cat, some performance
ES motor mount inserts, a
boost gauge, a
manual boost controller, an
outlaw engineering thermoblock spacer for the itm conversion, some
FAL slim fans and a
Koyo radiator to keep engine temps down.
Some extra things I think that will need attention are: (I think I'll try answer these as I learn along the way)
The
intake manifold and tb which will need to switched over to a B14
-Is this a basic swap where old sensors are used?
(throttle body hits the valve cover, solution, use an outlaw engineering thermo block spacer or use a regular de valve cover)
B14 3 IACV sensors need to be spliced into B15 harness (look into fsm),
B15 TPS doesn't fit on B14 TB (Either trim B15 TPS to fit or buy proper B14 TPS)
-Where can I get an
adaptor for the B15 to B14 ecu conversion? (member was making and selling these, don't know if still in the business of, if not there's always jwt or jgy diy instead.
. Anyhow Good Luck Tony!
