I dont like to look at the money but I also like to see how much went into building something like this for others to reference off of. Jorge was impressed at how well everything was put together, the selection of parts that went into it. He says soo many times customers come in wanting a certain amount of hp but dont have hardly anything capable of it. Usually fuel system. I kept my fuel system simple, one pump, sumped tank, big feed, big return. And it showed to work very well without a single issue and only at 75% duty on the injectors and pump isnt even close to being maxed. He didnt have to worry about the motor as everything important was covered.

Again biggest problem i had was couplers. First one was I could not find tbolt clamps locally to save my life and ran out of time to find a 3.5 for the throttle body. The worm drive clamp gave out at 570whp and 20 lbs of boost. Found one in his shop and then other clamps popped off. Easy fixes and forgot to flare one of my pipes which caused that issue. Again simple stuff that I just ran out of time to get the proper stuff for. That stuff will be taken care of later down the road.

Always nice when a dyno tuner says good things about your set up. Nothing worse than a hack job or something that's been thrown together.

Couplers are good, just two ends of pipes that wernt flared from when i did the cuts, clamp on the intercooler that i forgot to fully tighten once i installed the cold side charge pipe and then of course the initial worm drive clamp on the throttle body that gave out. Luckily he had a 3.5 t-bolt laying around.

I might go with some vibrant vanjen clamps later down the road and elminate all t-bolts. But im going to do it after I upgrade the intercooler.

I think thats very very good considering the horsepower that you made and also you still have the ability to make way more once you up the boost. At $15000 divided by 720whp = roughly $20 per horsepower. I'm gonna do the math with some of these exotic cars later lol boredom FTL

I don't even know how much I put into it but whatever it is I'm happy and that's all I care about.

5 se-r's later, over $25k estimated through out all the mods and setups...I'd think it's not a hobby anymore, it's a life style...I just love a damn sentra. My main lady of over 11+ years is down in my garage with nothing in the engine bay and every time I open the garage to walk passed it, I grin!

She's the material love of my life next to the real lady that met me in this choice of cars and never told me once to stop. Her words everytime the subject comes up is, I know I know, the car needs to be worked on or just do what you want that will make you happy.

LOVE THEM BOTH!!!
