If you go the SR20DET route:
$900 SR20DET with Turbo (T25, Manifold, Injectors)
$50 - New fuel rail (yours will be bent)
$0-100 - Replacing the dented oil pan, can some times beat it out
Approx Total: $1,050


If you turbocharge your current SR20DE (will be SR20DE+T from now on).
$250-$400 - T25 Turbo, Manifold, Jpipe, Oil & Water Lines, 370cc Injectors
$50 - 45/64" Drill Bit, 1/2npt Tap, 1/2NPT thread to barb fitting. You might need a new drill to fit the 1/2" shank of the drill bit!
$150 - Oil and Water Lines
Approx Total: $600

Parts that you will need
$50-150 - Blow Off Valve
$100 - New Seals, Spark Plug Wires, Distro Cap, Rotor, BKR7E spark plugs
$100-200 - Downpipe for turbo
$200-400 - 2.5" to 3" exhaust
$100 - Walbro 255lph Fuel Pump
$100 - FMIC
$100 - Intercooler Piping
$100 - Couplers, t-bolt clamps, etc.
$100-$550 - ECU: NismoTronic & Nemu, Calum Basic, Calum Real Time, Nistune, oem SR20DET
$55 - Prothane Motor Mounts (or you will have major wheel hop that kills our transmissions). This price is with the forum discount
$300 - Clutch/Pressure plate/throwout bearing
$0-100 - MAF (OEM maf good for 250whp).
$100 - New fluids, Engine Oil, Coolant, GL4 Gear Oil ($10 per bottle usually), Power steering fluid.
$100 - New Brakes, would be stupid not to upgrade your brakes with so much more horsepower.
$100-$300 - Gauges: Boost, Oil PSI, Wideband
$200 - New Quality Slim Fans (SPAL), unless you can squeeze stock fans in!
Approx Total: $2,370 with Basic $100 ECU
Approx Total: $2,820 with Real Time/Nemu ECU

Grand Totals with the Basic ECU:
Grand Total for a SR20DET: $3,420
Grand Total for a SR20DE+T: $2,820

Approx WHP: 170-200whp @ 7 psi


Labor: Priceless

Other Upgrades
Drop in Turbo Upgrade
$400 - GTiR T28
$0-100 - T28 Jpipe, you can modify your T25 one to work!
$200 - T28 Downpipe, not required if you have T25 downpipe and Jpipe
Approx Total: $700

$500 - $1,000 - New suspension is highly suggested, stiffer suspension can help overcome wheel hop too.


i think its pretty well covered in the 1st post.

read this book by Corky Bell, "Maximum boost! "

it will teach you everything about turbo applications and installs

also, buy your self a FSM and thumb thru other members build threads

you will then know everything about boost

Sentra's no, but Bluebirds (Altima's) and Avenirs (no US counterpart) are.

oh ok, So I have a question, do the Avenir or the bluebird have all the upgrades that are listed in this thread out of factory or do they have somewhat similar parts to our cars?

To some point yes, some things are better aftermarket then OEM. Your going to waste money if your trying to just import parts. Keep in mind OEM is meant to be safe, reliable and cheap. I for one don't suggest running a top mount intercooler, too much heat soak.

ah I see, well I wasn't planning on running top mount just cause I'm not using the jam intake manifold,
the reason I ask is because I have a friend that slapped a blue bird kit on his de and its been almost two years and the car is still running strong without an upgraded radiator, or fans, and I live in the desert lol
so I'm wondering is this list more for a racing spec turbo set up?

Is he using OEM fans? OEM fans pull hard, unless you go high end aftermarket OEM is the way to go. I'm pretty sure I could get away with regular sized radiator with OEM radiator if I can get them to fit.

Thing is most people don't bother running AC either, I was fine with cheap fans and oem radiator, but as soon as AC kicked on it would instantly overheat.

No race spec, for race spec you need much more.
