I have a 2001 Nissan Sentra GXE. Besides a TURBO, how else can i make it FASTER??

Question

Yes, i know why would i want to make this car faster???? Well for one......It's paid off, and well, it's running great with just under 100k on it! So far I've put on a Magna-flow Cat-back exhaust and a Fujita Cold Air Intake. A TURBO for a Sentra is like $4-5K so, that's NOT happening anytime soon!! What other options do I have???

Answer 1

a turbbo for a sentra costing that much means youre not looking in the right place.    is it the 2.0 or the smaller engine?  i would put a header and underdrive pullies, the pullies make a very noticeable difference

Answer 2

Not purchasing a new car now says a lot about your credit. Besides old motors don't like being forced into making more power anyway. Paid off means saving around 300 a month so next year you can put 3,600 down trade the 2001 get your new Altima Coupe. Putting money into a 9 year old Sentra? Enjoy the economy of that car don't break it until you can get the real performance car you will enjoy. Gear ratios 1.8 liter motor Automatic trans or manual is to highly geared not for any real acceleration Sentra's are grocery getter's. The longer you wait the more expensive the new cars are getting. Inflation will take new car buying out of the reach of normal people soon.

Answer 3

New racing headers, lightweight flywheel and lightweight pulley. Computer chip upgrade. Racing clutch if it is manual. Nitros.
