I agree with you both.... but let me tackles things one at a time
Regarding spec V sentras and Scion Tc's having turbos, and doing just fine.. this is abosolutely true, but there is one big diffeence... for the sentra SE-R .....that IS THE TOP OF THE LINE SENTRA how many sentra 1.8L's do you see turboed??? not many... most folks don't buy the bottom of the rung trim of a vehicle and then say, let me spend a bunch of money to turbo it... the SE-R is a tuner car, and many folks with the SE-R tend to have "tuner money" to go along with their car...
for the scions, there is no higher grade scion , so it makes sense to come out with a turbo for the scion, to offer that crowd that REALLY WANTED a SCION the ability to have more power
look at the BMW's... how many folks buy 2008 BMW328is and turbo it... not many... why would they? Most of them just spend the extra dough and get the twin turbo BMW 335i, which with a tune and bolt ons has faster trap times than the new M3's
so my point is, is folks that bought 2.5's REALLY wanted power, then they wouldn't have bought the A/C with the smaller engine, not when the price difference between that and the bigger brother is only 4-5K difference, giving them an all around BETTER engine to start with and then play with if they need even more power.
milkacaduke, sorry, but the fact of the matter is, for MOST folks that bought the 2.5.. they DID NOT have an extra 5-6K that they would throw at a turbo... of course there are exceptions, but exceptions are not enough to base a full production line of turbos around....
and my comments were not in any way designed to demean or belittle any group on NICO... I HATE when people live beyond their means and get stuff that they can't afford just so they can impress other people... economic restraint and responsibilty are admired, by me at least... but for the folks that claim they ARE gonna do this, and are gonna do that, (not want to do, but are GOING TO do it), I'm sorry, but they will continue to get called out by me until they put up or shut up!
well put, dont get me wrong, i totally understand and agree to what u just said. thats why u wont see me starting a post like"calling all manufactors to make a 2.5 turbo" anyone that can count should understand that at this point, the chances of that happening is slim...slim...
but im really sick and tired to see when a 2.5er got the balls to stand up and say i want a turbo, all he get is 3.5ers making jokes of "bov noise maker". at least some support?
i mean common, i thought our A/C's getting alot of "look downs" from the G community thats pissing everyone off, and now our big brother 3.5s are going to do it to our own family?
put up or shut up, i agree. i know that there are people out there, or even on this forum whos b****ing about wanting a turbo so bad when they got like 1G credit card dept on their a**. but that doesn't mean everyone is like that.
some might ask, if u 2.5er really got the $ and want the turbo so bad, why dont u just get a shop to custom one for u?
for me, the answer is i rather have my money spent on a proven working system, then have me and my car go through the whole process of " opps we shoulda done that..."
i understand what ur saying about the TCs as they dont have any higher upgrade. but as far as i know, there are still alot of turbo lancer running around and doing fine, when its big and famious big brother EVO is sitting right there
this is America, and its a free country, anything can happen. i will continue to give support to a 2.5 turbo but not to an extent to create a post like this.
just maybe some day....
