And where exactly is that Dan?...

[gnorie89]

I love the idea. Especially with my 20inch wheels i can really use some extra power. Just let me know when one is available and i am there. Dont have the time, nore the money to have one custom bult.

If you don't have the money to have one custom built how more do you think a turbo is gonna cost you?

Dangeris, havent you seen the universal turbos on ebay for like $250?

[beeristasty]

I thought Stillen did imagine how much money they would make with a 2.5 kit, which was not much. They even had an interest thread and everything

But keep the faith. Once the interest ramps up to desirable levels, someone will begin fabricating a dedicated kit for the 2.5... It will happen, but I wouldn't hold my breath until then.

Is that the one with the 2 stroke leaf blower to "ram" the air into your engine good grief!

[milkacaduke]

i bet Fast furious got into someone.

but with all the flamings, i will give support to a 2.5 turbo. though i doubt that any attentions will be brought by this this post without someone contacting the manufactors.

there are still people out there that are serious about dropping 6k for a turbo

dude... this is not gonna win you many fans around here... this has been contemplated in the past and there just isn't enough realistic interest in a 2.5 turbo.

The fact of the matter is, for the extra 100whp youd get on a turboed 2.5, folks could have just bought a 3.5 ... (yeah, with more boost, you could do more than an extra 100whp, but the internals in the QR are suspect and may not be able to handle more) and being that the 2.5ers didn't have the extra 5K to spend in financing when they bought the car, the liklihood of them having 6K in hard cash for the turbo and install afterwards is just not logical. IMO, it is just never going to happen from a reputable company, and if someone does create one, most of the folks saying they want one will prove to be all talk anyway...

If you want a turbo so bad, just find a local reputable company on the east coast and get them to custom build you one... but for the 10's of thousands of dollars that it would take for a real company to mass produce one for sale, no company appears to be willing to shell out that kind of dough for a lackluster project....

it is for these reasons that you are getting flamed... sorry dude, if you wanted a faster car, you should've bought another car.. cuz the aftermarket performance wise for the 2.5 A/C just isn't there

[Rob.Vegan]

Well put doc This topic has been covered and covered again. I am glad that there are still some people trying to get others fired up about this, I mean that is how things get rolling. But in all honesty with the people who would actually come through will be few and far between.

I for one would love to turbo my 2.5 however instead of making my car something it's not (ex. sports car) is not in my agenda. My car looks beautiful and gets me where I need to go, it had a wonderful price tag and is fast enough to cure my cravings but I'm going to leave the FI to project cars in my future.

If a reputable company actually went through and designed and manufactured a reliable Turbo for our cars I might save up for one given a year or two, but I am definitely not holding my breath for one nor am I going to advocate the production of one. If it is here, I will think about it but I really don't see it happening

forget $250...just settle for the BOV noise maker... it's probably just as effective...

That's a novel Idea! And for an extra $200, put in a intercooler! Who cares if its not really hooked up

ya what doc said.

Haha.

This has been super thread high jacked by people. Didn't the original poster specifically want a certain group of people to post? lol.

I'd be down for a turbo kit.

On the contrary, his/her argument is 175 HP isn't enough. My friend... Get a boost to around 190+HP w nismo catback + intake and little in expensive mods. =]

But yea. Turbo Please.

lol it's hard having a 2.5S around here. but in all seriousness, the SpecV guys have been boosting the crap out of their QR for a while now and some even got 500hp+ with built motor , better compression, forged internals, etc. here one with 344whp

I don't have the 500hp one but I'll go look for it, I remember seeing it posted by someone here.

I think we have come to a point where we need to separate the altima engine subforum into a 3.5 and 2.5 sub-subforum so you guys can go balls out without people telling you that you should have got a 3.5SE.

its not about 3.5 vs 2.5 (and if it is, i'm still qualified becase i have a 2.5) its about dollars.. its about put up or shut up... realisticly, interest wise, most folks on this site and many others are ALL TALK, NO ACTION...

no company is gonna go off of a bunch of peple's talk... to me its just common sense, how can folks that didn't want to or couldn't afford to finance 5-6K more in the beginning be counted on to spend 5-6K at once on a turbo... seriously, it defies logic

[Bmore-coupe]

We are like Tusken Raiders. We always come back, in far greater numbers.



Sorry for the Star Wars reference

Put up or shut up - you are totally right, at this point im not boosting, i was just commenting on the fact that every time a thread is brought about about the power increase for a 2.5, the 3.5 comes into play.

I agree that no company is going to mass produce a turbo at this time for the 2.5. A local shop may produce it. All i am saying is that every thread turns out giving the negatives for the 2.5 instead of possibly saying that they should go to a local shop and get it done.

For instance maybe somebody quit smoking and now has some extra coin laying around. at first they couldnt afford the 3.5 but now they have an extra 2000 a year. that is roughly a pack a day. Well now they can afford a turbo even though they are locked into their loan.

All im saying is that maybe we could work more as a team and say hey if u got the coin, then go to a local shop and get it done.

It just all seems negative and unhelpful to me.

[milkacaduke]

how can folks that didn't want to or couldn't afford to finance 5-6K more in the beginning be counted on to spend 5-6K at once on a turbo...

with all do respect, but there are alot of different condicions that will lead to choosing 2.5 over 3.5 at the tiime of purchase that has nothing to do with having the $ or not.

i went in the dealership with the plan and enough $ and finance for a 2008 Z. but i end up driving out with a 2.5A/C. Smart choice? not really, i regret everyday i drive my car, but my choice wasn't based on $.

but i do agree with u that customer with the finance condition targeted for a 2.5 price range normally would not have extra 6k in hard cash sometime down the line before their next car. True the demand isn't there

but with that being said, there are still bunch of turbo TC running around and doing fine.

my point is, whoever is intreasted in turboing their car should not be limited by if he/shes got the 2.5 or 3.5

[infused305]

i dont see y a turbo wouldnt be something in the near future for the 2.5s. For instance there are many honda's with b16 and b18 engines running turbo and thats a 4cylinder engine just like that of a 2.5.

Well realistically the Honda motors are a whole different beast. It's easy to go grab a few different cobbled engines and make like an LS Vtec or a B20 Vtec or something. It's different because everything is in common with everything else in the Honda/Acura world. Throw in type R cams, or MPx cams. Type R valve train, hook up your customer tuning software in Chrome. Find a random ecu from an old Honda and desolder knock sensor boards, flash the chips etc.

You get my point... and it's all relatively cheap to do if you have the know how.

With our 2.5 there are so many other things to do.. it's not the same as in the Spec V. We have weaker valve springs for one... I would really want to put in better pistons, and a lot of other things to make it a bit more reliable with a turbo. I dunno, but it's not only the turbo kit you need to be worried about to buy, you need motor parts too which add onto the cost. For the amount of money it would cost to go turbo you could probably trade in the 2.5 + cash for the 3.5 and be happy. The other option is to do a full swap from a wrecked 3.5.

I dunno, I see the points the company may be thinking about. It's different when you have a Honda civic and can get a turbo kit and all the tuning stuff for like 1500~. We're looking at 4Grand+.

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!
