Hello fellow Nico members, Let me introduce myself. I am Tony Fonti, but you can call me Engmus, im brother of Cyberkreig under the 240 section. I use to drive a 90 Stanza but totatled that in a accident, and since TeamNSE doesnt exist anymore I went to the best option for any nissan owner, Nico.

I recently purchased a 03 Nissan Sentra SE-R V-Spec 6 spd manual. After reading the forums, I found myself in need to get the recal performed to my car which I will be setting up tomarrow.

I have a few questions though, as im sure were asked so I aplogize if any of these following questions are repedative (on a side note I belong to the club4ag boards so I know repedative questions Initial D **** anyone?).

I've been comprising a modification list that I plan to carry out as soon as my car falls out of warrenty, im looking for a good exhaust currently, the only exhausts i've seen that have been reputable was a Greddy SP and it seemed to fart canish for my taste. Apexi doesnt seem to produce any that go well with the car or make any for the car at all.

So what company offers a good exhaust that will raise my hp without droping my torque much and gives a good low growl sound?

Also how hard is it to turbo the QR2.5DE? Is it a fesable idea?

Either way, I aplogize for the inconvience I may have caused and any problems this post might create.

Engmus.

Ahh a fellow TeamNSE member. What was your screen name on there?

As for exhausts for the Spec V. BRM, Greddy, VRS, Stromung, Apexi, 5Zigen, and Tanabe all make exhaust systems for the Spec V and they are all very reputable.

As far as turboing the QR there are a handful running around now. The only reputable kits I would go with are either from Forced Induction Racing or Powertech Imports. Both will yield you around 275whp or so. Travis at FIR can also build you something else if you want a little more power but you will have to start building up the internals which will cost you quite a bit more coin.

I am personally going to be putting on one of the PTI kits before the end of the year and mabey rework my valvetrain and throw in some pistons.

I was Engmus on TeamNSE as well, what happened to that forum? What did Sudesh do?

I read most of these boards last night and answered alot of my own questions.

Hey im still looking for a exhaust, im looking for something with pipeing around 2.25" with dual tips not more then 3 inches. I cant stand the huge tip style. Something like the n1 duals would be hot, but not that big. Anything strike a fimilar tone with you guys?

Post by **Engmus** » Thu Oct 21, 2004 5:06 pm

Found my exhaust in the Stromung, exactly everything I wanted. Thanks guys.

Hey Tony! Welcome to Nico.

You will love the Spec V. I traded mine in on my 350z (or I would still have it)

Did you get your exhaust or just decide on what you wanted?

What's up Tony! Welcome to NICO!!! Let's see some pics.

Post by **Engmus** » Sat Oct 23, 2004 6:44 pm

No pics as of yet. Didn't get the exhaust yet, im comprising a list. So I know my set goals. Where are some popular parts for the Spec V? ALso whats up with the 03's Knock sensor? I was reading some about that but dont fully understand it all.

Hey Tony, glad to see you now an active member of the boards.

Greg should be able to help you with your exhaust if you cant find anything.

Welcome. Good luck with the SE-R. I would have bought one if I didn't by my maxima. A turbo is possible just some custom fabrication my be required.

They make a turbo manifold, you just need to weld the flange and make a downpipe. http://www.jgstools.com/turbo/index2.html

Engmus - We (BRM) make a spectacular system for the Spec. You may have read the review in Sport Compact Car, seen it on SpeedVision's "Driving Force", or seen it on Dave Coleman's pro rally car.

Feel free to get in touch at [email protected] for more info and pictures.

p.s. Welcome to NICO! We're glad to have you aboard!

Well to be honest non of that interests me, what does is numbers. HP, torque, price also how hard is it to install am I going to need to custom fab stuff or is it all bolt on? Are oil lines included, diagrams, guides etc etc? Im sure your as good if not better then the others but im courious. Thats all.

Post by **AZhitman** » Mon Oct 25, 2004 6:49 am

7-9 hp, 7-9 tq, as low as $445 shipped, all bolt-on, uses factory hangars.

"Oil lines included"??? Not for an exhaust....

Post by **drifter_for_life06** » Mon Oct 25, 2004 2:57 pm

i think he might ahve thought you were making a turbo for the Sentra

Post by **Engmus** » Tue Oct 26, 2004 2:39 am

Cranky! I did think he was talking about a turbo. I just made myself look very stupid. Sorry for the mistake.

Post by **Engmus** » Tue Oct 26, 2004 2:40 am

Oh BTW: Does anyone know anything about the NISMO Catback? Im intersted in that exhuast actually.

Post by **jEzTeR** » Fri Oct 29, 2004 4:04 pm

The Nisom S tune parts are great but kinda on the pricy side.

Post by **JESTER** » Sat Oct 30, 2004 12:57 am

Kinda?!?! That's an under statement. LOL. NISMO cost way to much. Not the way I would go, unless I hit pay dirt in the lotto.

And Engmus, You didn't look stupid, just confused. There are a lot of buisness out there, and we cant all know who they are and what they make. Be sure to check out our sponsors. Not saying that to sway your decision, but they tend to give us pretty good deals, and can probally get which ever exhaust system you choose.

And welcome to NICO. Lot of great guys here, with a lot of good info.

Hey Hitman, If I get that 94 SE-R, I will have to get up with you about some pipes for it. Nothing to high pitched, I hate that. That is after I get some stuff paid off. Credit card is getting on my nerves. Thank goodness I only owe $1200.

Post by **nametakennow** » Mon Nov 01, 2004 4:22 pm

Trust me, the BRM system is far from high-pitched.

Angry grizzly bear on steroids, maybe, but high pitched? Nah.
