Thread: So You Want to Go Turbo? Parts and Price List

mehh, I feel like I have a good idea on how to do it.

Now all I need is the Funds. hopefully I'll get more than 50 bucks this year in tax returns

Thanks for all the info guys really appreciate it

I have a avenir intake manifold for $70 shipped if your interested..lmk

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

are sentra's in Japan turbo out of the factory?

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.
