2010 Sentra 2.0 parts?

[Chris2.0SR]

So I have heard from unreliable sources that a catback exhaust for an SE-R (2.5) will also fit on an SL or SR (2.0) since it runs down the same side of the car and doesnt connect to the engine. Also, is there anyway to modify or tune the throttle so that it responds quicker? I really hate the throttle lag. That's what kills the 0-60 time on this car. It would be so much faster if the throttle just responded instantly.

In a word no. A system for an ser will not fit a 2.0 At least not without some substantial modification. I know that there is a stillen axelback that is available, and one of the mods one here said something on here about making one for the 2.0

Throttle response you are pretty limited. An aftermarket intake can help. You can also get an ebay throttle controller, but these honestly do nothing useful and usually slow cars down.

What you are describing i dont think is throttle lag, but rather what is referred to as cvt lag. There are some fairly involved and innovative fixes for this, but you would be the first that i know of to try them.

One thing that you could do easily is reground your cvt with more conductive bolts and better wire. I have only seen one on a 2.5, but it should be close to the same on a 2.0(cvts are different for the 2.5 and 2.0). Its just one wire that you could probably access by taking your tire off and looking under the plastic guards of the wheel well. The one guy that i know of that has done this says it made a huge difference in lag. I am going to do it myself one of these days.

Ok. Well, I checked out the Stillen website and found nothing, but I'll email them and see if I can find anything out.
The CVT is quite a disappointment performance wise. I was told that it would be smooth and actually quicker than a regular automatic, which I dont believe. It seems after owning it for a while that its just annoying. It revs up high and stays there until the mph catches up. And I really dont think it does a thing to improve mpg like they claim.
As for the grounding, which wheel well would the wire be attatched too? And where should I reground it? Also, if it would really benefit me to do it, what kind of wire and bolts should I used to replace the factory ones?
Thanks for all of the info.

I am sorry the stillen is for the ser I dont know what i was thinking. i could have sworn there was an axelback though.

In theory, cvts should be the best transmission possible in all respects, but ya know.

Should be drivers side. Like i said, i have never seen a 2.0 in that area so i cant tell you much. The wire should be obviously a ground though.

I will have to look up about what the guy used exactly. If i remember right, he just used one or two gauges higher wire and used the same bolts and just sanded them to get better connection. He pops in here from time to time and may chime in here. As long as it is higher quality wire it will be better. If you have an ohms meter you can check to make sure.

Ok. I'll have to check it out when I get the time to get it up on the jack stands. And I guess if I cant find anything in the exhaust department, I can just buy an Apexi universal muffler and get a custom piping job done at a local shop.
Thanks again for all of the info.

search for the freepower throttle controller for the 2.0, increases throttle response, its about $140 on ebay and its simple plug and play installation.

I agree the throttle response is slow. I can blip the gas to the floor and 1 sec later it jumps to 2K rpm. I think it stems from several things but motor mounts play a role.

I am interested in the throttle controller... anyone else have it? It seems like it would only adjust the sensitivity or curve, not the time for response, but it is subjective. I actually would like the first 1/4 of pedal to be less sensitive, to flatten out the response, but not limit full throttle accel near the end of pedal travel.
