well i have a friend who is doing a 3.5 maxima motor swap in his sentra...the guy doing the swap is also making him a custom turbo kit for him and he also makes custom supercharger and turbo kits........and i had my buddy ask if he can make 1 for or trucks and he said ya.....i am pretty sure he can make 3.0 and 4.0 supercharger kit....roots style and certifical kits......so who would want 1????.....o and he said turbo kits too

 

he says turbos will be cheaper.....but he can do all 3

 

like that one in brooklyn. lmao.

 

well the turbo kits would be cheaper cuz....he deals in turbos alot more then superchargers and can get turbos cheaper then superchargers

 

we need something a bit more concrete than " my friend said he could". Does this guy have a website of his work or anything???

I don't care if this guy gets turbos for free there is no way a full custom build would cost less than a SC

 

get your friend on here. what trim turbo. is he using stainless piping all mendel bent? what size intercooler? what brand? is the turbo's a T3/T4 hybrid? what tuning system is he gonna run? does he have a dyno so we can properly tune the car? what blow off valve is he gonna run? recurculating or full vent? whats the PSI gonna be to not blow the motor? custom made exhaust manifolds? has he figured out where the turbo will be mounted?


just a small list havent even gotten into the superchargers yet...

alot more to think of then just my "Friend" can do it...

 

yea if it is possible..that would be rad.

cause id SC the 3.0..

 

Hello guys.. I'm not into buying bridges.. But, we do build some cool production, and, one-off stuff for the aftermarket crowd. Forced Induction Racing (www.fi-r.net) has been in business for roughly 6 years. We specialize in custom turbo kit fabrication
(mainly), engine blueprinting/assembly, custom engine internal parts, custom camshafts/valvetrain, and unique engine swaps. Nissan is our forte', but, we have worked on many makes/models.

I spoke with Tony a few days ago, about his interest in possibly having us design a turbo system for his Ranger. I would be happy to look into building a kit for testing, and possibly, production, at a later date. The reason that I'd prefer to go with a turbo setup, is for efficiency, and to maximize the TQ curve (which is what a truck needs the most). Contrary to popular belief, a PROPERLY designed/sized turbo setup will produce more area under the curve, with lower charge air temps, and less chance of detonation.

For R&D, I usually offer a kit, at cost, with no labor cost for install/tuning. In the end, you usually come out saving 25-30% off of what someone else would pay for a kit/install. With that out of the way.. I'd like to show you guys some of our work..

Here's a setup that we're fine tuning at the moment..



Turbocharged 4.2 liter Chevy Trailblazer. This is the first/only turbocharged Trailblazer (except for the OEM project that Chevy was working on). This car features a custom turbo system, with ball bearing Garrett turbo (35R comp wheel, and P-trim turbine), stainless turbo manifold, aluminum piping, bar/plate cooler, and EFI Live tuning software with larger injectors/MAP sensor. This truck hasn't been on the dyno yet.. but, on a street tune, she runs low 13's on street tires! Not bad for a 16 second SUV..

Here's a pic of a destroked 2.5 liter Nissan engine, out of a SE-R Spec V. We modified a SR20DET crankshaft, and had a set of rods/pistons made for the shorter stroke (from 101mm to 86mm). With the new stroke, we have a rod/stroke ratio of 1.77:1, which allows us to safely rev out to around 9500rpm, without piston speed getting too crazy. This car made 500whp @ 19psi of boost, on pump gas, on a VERY mild tune (20* total advance, and 11:1 A/F) This was letting out early too, as we were out of injector..




Here's a dyno vid of a 500whp pull..

Here's a few random pics of cars that we've built..




480whp @ 18psi, on 93 octane



VQ35 (maxima engine) swapped into a Sentra.

12.95 @ 104mph (stock engine, with a small set of slicks)

Having a little fun..


SR20DET swapped into a Spec V





Anyway.. if you guys have any questions.. let me know. I won't be able to take on the task for a few months. I'm booked solid for the next 2 months or so.

I would be interested for prices on either a supercharger or turbo for my 3.0

 

Travis where ya`ll located in Houma? I am just a few miles away in Thibodaux.

Drew

 

hehe i used to have a sentra (:

 

I'd be down for something.

Just all depends on the price/quality.

another thread that makes me wish i had money... sigh.....



lol.

 

Welcome to the club

 

looks like you do some good work. but yea if it came down to being possible. i know plenty of us might be interested in a S/C or turbo kit for the 3.0, including me

 

no way..unless mass produced, then maybe

i dont think there are any civic kits out there for that cheap..and thats a very popular application

 

3.0L Turbo for less that $2000 would be incredible...I'm pretty sure if he could get parts for less and sell them at $2000 the market might be better than the Whipple was because of cost. I wanted a Whipple but the price was outrageous. Now if this "turbo" kit could be built and testing fully and be priced around $2000-$2500 I think it would sell. The 3.0L has potential but it just needs some help.

 

I don't want to put a set price out there, as I haven't even had the chance to look into the layout/design, or tuning logistics. However, going off of most other systems that we've designed, I'd say that you're looking at a tuner kit (no fuel/timing control), coming in at around 2800-3K, and a fully loaded system, with fuel/timing control, for around 3800-4K. I don't use sub-standard parts.. so, don't expect "ebay pricing" on this. My stuff is top notch, and I use only the best parts.

To get started, I'll be looking at information/specs on the 3.0 and 4.0, as well as the trans/rearend, ECM, etc.. If you guys have anything to add to that, feel free to post it up.

Thanks,

Travis

 

I'm located in Sugarwood Subdivision, right before the water slide on Hwy 311. PM me your number, and I'll give you a call.

Sweet.. we love the Sentra. :)
