For this video, a buddy of mine named Andy handed me the keys to a rather different kind of setup you don't see around here often-a turbocharged Nissan Sentra Spec V with a 50 trim turbonetics turbo. It was quite the little sleeper, and I can say it was a really fun time. Thanks for watching as always and stay awesome!

Thanks for watching!
The BOV is so adorable. :)
Hey is that gnome from the Travelocity commercial?
Ur so right

Jaguar F-type Why is there a F-type talking on youtube.
Because boosted Civics are too mainstream.

Talking about 280 wheel HP like it's not very much? Dude I had a 3500 lb. MK3 Supra with about 230whp, and that thing was fucking insane. I guess nowadays with all the modern cars that make huge horsepower, the definition of what's considered "fast" has been steadily rising. I personally feel like 180whp in a light car is really fast. Even 150whp is quick. People are forgetting that you don't need massive numbers to have fun, especially on the street.
Ben its the American mentality that big numbers make cars good bet this car gets whipped by something with better handling .
You'd be surprised this thing handles great once your used to the torque steer. Tha lsd lets you rip out of corners
it's not an american thing, it's a "12 year olds on the internet" thing
Ben to each his own.. my mustang is close to 295/300 wheel horsepower and while it’s fun it’s nothing compared to like my brothers 5.0 that’s 430ish to the crank and I love it. When you’re constantly driving a car that’s so high in power and torque cars that are in the 100’s aren’t going to be very fun lol
k
The Sentra spec-V is like one of those obscure compact performance sports cars that nobody really cares about. I think it deserves a bit more recognition, honestly.
It really does! definitely underated. I've beat many V6 engine cars with my spec v and all it had was the basics intake/headers/exhaust and a short shifter
Especially the altima se-r
to be completely honest... it is very expensive to mod this car. unless you are doing minor/bolt on upgrades. y mean the engine itself has a fair amount of well documented problems..
>the counter balance weight locks up and breaks the timing chain.
>VALVE COVER LEAK/ SEALS they tend to go out!!!
>MAF Moda fociking MAF!!!
i built mine but it was a project of love and years in order to have it make reliable power.. and honda has a more "mainstream" market and high demand, which makes it somewhat affordable.
all and all i do not regret building my sentra!
@@anuar.m.y Is your SPEC V turbo, supercharged or a high compression build?
@@nicksta16 High comp, and then turbo build, i spoke with joe at 2J racing and he believes that we can push about 360 at the wheels with my HC setup with turbo, in a safe matter for daily driving, but is 3700 for the turbo kit so i am saving up..
keemstar in the back seat there

The little fucker that could! ;-)
***** LoL. If the chassis is bad, then how did this chassis hold the lap record a Road Atlanta for 3 years in its class???? Hmmm? At other tracks too for periods of time. Shows what you know.
***** it means its not a "horrible" chassis. I'm not saying its a freaking super car. It was $20k brand new. Go watch some videos of the 2j-racing sentra (the guy that tuned the car in this video) and see if you think the chassis is horrible. There's nothing inherently wrong with the car stock other than wheel hop, which is easily remedied. But yes of course the 2j car has been "tuned". But it still has the same chassis. Just go watch a video and see all the $80k cars this $20k chassis passes. This car that still has a solid rear beam rear suspension. I guess I just don't know what cars your comparing to call the Sentra chassis horrible. Certainty not a Honda or any other car in its price range.
I'm really not intending to fight with you. And I shouldnt have made the "what you know" comment. I just wanted to point out that the chassis is no where near horrible. That car even in stock form will outrun a hole lot of cars on a back road bone stock.
Do I think its an Awesome chassis? No. But its far from horrible. Its a very good chassis for a $20k car.

Being a owner of one of these cars, they are just as fun N/A as they are boosted, aftermarket support is finally gaining some ground and growing so if you're looking to get one do it BUT BE WARNED....they can become money pits(as you add more parts to it) plus the stock exhaust manifold needs to be replaced ASAP with a header and the butterfly screws on the upper intake manifold need to be loctited. Add a CAI, Catback Exhaust, lightweight pulleys, motor mount inserts and lower it some and they're really fun cars.
You know your sentras..Did u build one?
i partially disagree with installing light weight pulleys... they can throw the rotating assembly off!! ( i mean in a performance application or even in the long run)
i personally would rather have the rotating assembly balanced and delete the stupid counter weight hidden in the oil pan (stupid design by Nissan).
for everything else i will use the JO JO meme here and say: YES...YES...YES.....YES!
Do these problems apply to an 04 SEntra?
@@JonFox1945 yes theh do bro
Mine isn't a spec v, it's just a 1.8 S. It's my daily driver that's good on gas.
Little engine? It's actually pretty large for a 4cyl.
yeah my dad has a 2.4L and it has enough get up for the family car lol
not to mention this this might be as light as a feather.
I drive a gxe 1.8l and I love it
XenomorphLV426 Yes I in own the 2005 SER spec V and that fucker gets up STOCK. I can't wait to turbo mine. Shooting for a comfortable 4-500hp hopefully on 10lbs or less
sgb92511 You will need to sleeve. Stay at 350whp
That gnome was staring into my soul....
Fuck the r35 this is the greatest modern day car nissan has made after the skyline 😍
BIG J a sentra....? Just stop talking.
As a sentra (b14) owner I wish that was true but it just isn't. It definitely is fun though.
Sirens 😂😂😂he got a lil carried away
Lol yall cleary missed the joke.
even though you were joking it does have a lot of things related to the skyline GT-R. The seats, front bumper (02-03 se-r's), a bit more agreesive suspension, and the badges. if you were to do a vq swap and boost it it would pretty much be a fwd GT-R lol obviously it would still be gay AF compared to a GT-R.
i have watched this 5 times. My neighbor has this car, and i am litterally going to do anything to get it. i cri everytim. I need it!!!!!!
Aaron Figa I'm going to purchase a Nissan maxima Se 01. probably for daily drive tho
still wanna buy one? I have 2

I'm interested on one

Anyone notice the Gnome in the background?
Yes LOL!
i just noticed rofl!!!
That was the first thought that came to mind about this whole video lol.
I remember this car from Need for Speed Underground 2 lol
I've seen a couple of your videos and they are pretty good sooo I have Subbed
Thanks!
A bit off topic but did anyone notice the gnome from travelocity sitting in the back seat? Lmao
I thought I was the only one
Glad i'm not alone lol
its just sat there like "hey bitches!"
Ethan Gee I know right? He's like "Yeah i'm just chillin in the back of a turbo charged se-r i'm cool" lol
"Go and smell the roses!"
This car is pretty cool. Is it a sleeper? Ya.. No. 7:04 Is a perfect example, Bright paint (color is good), matte white rims (catches the eyes), and that exhaust tip. Straight out of NFS:Underground 2.
Most would dismiss it as a used car that was bought with that flamboyant paint and the white wheels etc. There's a lot of people where I live who buy used cars with aftermarket exhaust wheels and stuff and can't tell the difference between that and stock. Not sure if that's believable where you're from though
Where I live, this car would stick out. ITs a cool car, just not a sleeper.
Skitter302 its looks like a starter car for underground 2 ......I need to say thus lower your car dude no one gives a fuck about you sleeper that won't make a turn on boost
uhh what about all the decked out Hondas with 130whp they look fast but aren't I think that sentra is really subltle mine is yellow
It's not a sleeper. The SE-R's sporting Intention's are apparent!
Still waiting for a Srt4 video . Gotta do 1 !!!
David Hemingway everytime he tries to review one the tranny blows in 3rd
I have the blue one. Writing this in 2023. I used it as my daily back in the day when I would drive from Ventura to Malibu. Always took the PCH there and back. I love the car. It is still stock. On the highway, I could get about 30 mpg somewhere around 78 mph. Was awesome to have. Saved the miles on my truck. I have kept it all these years. I have a 2019 Honda R-Type.... but I still love my SE-R. I am about to boost it and I'm replacing the clutch and doing other work on it so it will last another 15 years. Unfortunately, it is made from cheap plastics and lots of the interior I am slowly replacing. Absolute love this car. I plan to drop a couple grand into it every year and just slowly build it up as a project.
Nice. I remember my friend raced a stock Spec V in his RSX (base) and it was toe to toe with him. Even took the launch. They're not bad cars except for the mediocre looks. I never liked that body style.
Must have been a bad driver. A Spec V should easily win against a base.
XenomorphLV426
Lol. That's what I was thinking. He hooked great, and took the launch. Must be granny shifting the rest of the way. Vs an auto-stick rsx too haha.
I love rsx's. I couldn't do without a type a tho
Type s*
To each his own on the body style. I think the Sentra is quite a cool body.
This is awesome. And for the record. I have 200whp in a 2700lb focus, and that's even a fucking hoot.
A friend of mine wanted to put a twin turbo set up on his Sentra, but he rolled it before he got anything installed (which is kind of good, since he still has the turbos, undamaged).
With the right modifications, these are very fun to drive cars, and can remain useful as daily drivers.
You can't do a twin on a qr?...
That razor burn, though.
"Andy gave me a ride the other night"
Wish Andy would of given me one... OH WAIT I'M AT 450. Hehe
Maybe that's where the "razor burn" came from.
your music choices are spot on, and great filming
Haha thanks! I thought about it hard, and since it seemed like a playful,toyish car that's why I picked the 8 bit kind of theme.
As far as the Nissan 4 cylinders go, I think that this engine is soooo underrated in the whole ka vs sr......why has no one rly swapped a qr25 into their 240sx is beyond me it would be awesome and is a bigger engine for thos "there is no replacement for displacement" believers, just my thoughts on that matter...........................Great review awesome video man love your stuff.
True. I was going to say it's because they don't have an rwd version of it but after a bit of research I found that they actually had it in the frontier.
I would like to see the swap happen.
***** Yup, and even if it didnt have a rwd version you could always use a SR or RB gearbox with an adapter plate.
TriniRogue Oh yeah, I guess you could do that.
Qr25 series can't handle much more than 8psi without hurting it, and without forging it, you're asking for it to blow.
Gajeel RedFox there good for about 11 factory. but with 11psi and good compression, 350 torque and 315 hp is easily within reach. after that your looking at pistons and rods.
nice, ive got a turbo Spec-V myself, ive done a bunch of mod videos on it, and also my 1jz supra. Check them out! :D
DUDE YES!! sorry, im the owner of this car and watch ur vids all the time
haha that is awesome! awesome car man! and thanks! :D
Poor Man Mods sikky gasket on the way! and z32 calipers in the works lol love the vids!!!!
nice man! and thanks :D
0'3 Sentra was the best.
And weren't they already turbocharged?
Brody Sodon nope. no sentra has come factory turboed. the nismo concept 2016 sentra is a 1.8t
Oh, OK. Btw, I really want the nismo to come out.
+steezin&cheesin did you buy a turbo kit (and if so witch one/where from) or did you have every fabricated at a shop. I'm going to get a 06 spec v in a few hours and the frist thing I'm doing is slapping a turbo on it thanks in advance
i got a full kit from 2jracing.com! enjoy it man!
I have a 2003 Nissan Sentra GXE, factory blue, it's a beautiful car, but man, I wish I had the spec v haha so much more speed, even without the turbo
How much did it cost for the turbo?
2j-racing has their own turbo kit or you can look up nissan threadstone, the 2j goes for around 3800 and the threadstone goes for 3200, but if you wait till the specilas come aoruns you could get the 2j kit for 3k (black friday i think).
OR
you can build your own kit from ebay parts.. and facbrication.
i mean you'd know it'd be turbo cause you can see the intercooler...
To the average guy, or someone who just bought a fast car (and doesn't know anything about them), they could just mistake it for the radiator or something.
INEEDNAWZZZ yeah, I have some friends who don't even know what an intercooler is or how it looks like. Haha they're not car guys
Ishieness
i'm not a car guy
But you obviously know enough about cars to know what an intercooler is, how it looks like, etc.
What I was thinking.. if it came up behind ya,, ya would know..
I'm glad the gnome in the backseat is buckled up for safety lol
Me and my buddy raced one in a vr6 with 262 cams (it was untuned) and he put us to shame those turbo sentra's are quick! great review man keep it up!
I think that little "hehe" you do, sounds cuter than the turbo spool.
Really?
Here for the Gnome! Oh wait I'm mixing things up now. Great review!
My wife used to own a 2003 Sentra SE-R, but it wasn't the Spec-V... It still had the same 2.5 motor but with 10 less HP and 5 less TQ. It was a 4 speed automatic and I have to say for a bone stock 4-banger, this car was pretty quick. If only it shifted above 6200 rpm thoough, it would have been really quick I bet. I liked the torque in this car more than the horsepower. Hers was Vibrant Blue. Fun little car to toss around. Cool review man.
It also didn't have the limited slip differential in the transmission that the v spec has.
You have the best intros
Dat gnome in the back tho
hehe
The NFS Underground 1 days...
nothingnothing Yo someone knows! Always that teal color one tho
Not really a sleeper with SE-R badges all over it, everyone knew nissan ripped out the puny little 1.8 liter and shoved that massive 2.5 liter altima engine in the SE-R models, which bone stock had a massive amount of low end torque for a 4 cly and drove like a V6.But also i don't like this model, the 2002 - 2003 was way better looking with the skyline R34 inspired front end, lowered track suspension and other parts. this just looks like a regular gxe with rocker panels bigger wheels and foglights. also most people just do the V6 swaps with SE-R' sentras, don't really see too many turbos so that's pretty rare.
The 2.5 is adequite for this light body, but those V6 are monsters in this light little car, just like the Sentra SE-R SCCA Touring car, it had a VQ engine.
Eh, personally I've seen more turbo QR25's than VQ35 swaps. The VQ swaps are nice and they make similar power to the turbo QRs if you leave them NA, but it's pretty expensive for the swap kits at least that I've seen.
you have plans to buy a 3 axis gimbal like a Ronin M? love mine to death.
Hey, ThatDudeinBlue try to get your hands on a Buick Grand national, or a turbo regal :P
gnome in the back seat ready to kill
Mighty Car Mods stick - Rake loves it
That gnome in the back totally creeped me out.
You really like blow off valves! You should get a fake one like MCM did on their civic lol. Great video :)
The 2.5 had head gasket issues, the Sentra u want is the 2.0 sr20 de.
That gnome in the back is amazing. Project X??
dat gnome though
Pretty cool platform for FWD performance.. I believe they came with a LSD transmission, a torquey 2.5l engine and you dont see ANY of them on the streets. I think most guys who used to have them have moved on to the new Civic SI's most likely. Its cool to see this one payed attention to.
That Gnome in that back seems to enjoy the ride. Hahaha
TURBOCHARGE THE SMURF DAVID.
LOL travelocity Gnome HAHAHA
Oh god, I love these cars need to get a import.
Man, I got the biggest smile on my face when you said it makes 280 whp, I love little monsters like this.
How much are you pushing??
Yo you should consider doing 0-60s in your car review videos, that would be cool.
Digs are 100x worse on a car than a rolling start. I'd rather not risk breaking a car that isn't mine unfortunately.
How’s the torque steer with that ? 🤣
The gnome in the backseat!
I dont understand why anyone would let someone drive their car for a youtube show.
Because I think it would be pretty cool to see your car reviewed on a RUclips video and have all these people watch and comment on it.
I want my Altima modded by 2JRacing!!!
Sentra seems like it would have been a good platform for boost. Just watching this makes it looks like the car could be a great fun daily driver with boost. Im sure it was a joy to drive !!
Im not really into fwd, but seems like a respectable car.
Ive been eatching your vifs fir the past 2 years! just bought a 2k16 Sentra. plz film a B17.
I had a 2002 Sentra GXE. Not the fastest car, but man was it a lot of fun! I would take the back way to work just to blast down windy roads. I miss that car!
this is the car Ive always wished I could get my hands on. I ended up buying a civic but still. something about the Sentra makes me jizz a little
I don't know how much this has been requested but you should definitely do a review on an SRT-4. Shouldn't be too hard for you to find right?
I really love this car honestly! I think it sounds good and appears to drive nice! I always wanted one of these especially being a huge Nissan fan! Great review as always!
I love the Travelocity gnome sitting in the back seat
That's a great way to describe turbo charging "Making the engine sneeze"
digging the gnome :D
That Gnome DOE!!! lol
Lmfao at the garden gnome in the backseat, so funny and weird. great vid D!
David, I see your Mustang is featured on the Show us your Mustang's Facebook page. I just sold my 2013 Boss 302. I might just spring for a 2015 GT.
This reminds me of the Ford Escort my Grandad drove in the 90s.
Rake likes this
Really like this car so clean simple, great review.
to be honest i dont see it as being much of a sleeper with that got boost sticker on the back lol.
What is the average 1/4 mile time on this 7 psi Sentra 06? Would this vehicle be comparable in performance to a factory turbo Evo Lancer 06? ... Evo 2.0 L 4WD ~3,300 lbs - Sentra 2.4 L FWD ~2,800 lbs ... both ~280 hp
the bowl olf valve is awlsome
David have you ever driven a stock one? It seems like a fun daily driver and frankly something I never considered as far as a possible purchase. If it was genuinely fun aside from the power it might be a compelling car to own.
Dose Andy still have this car. If he added 20mm spaces he can get wider tires and make it handle a lot better. There are hundreds of 50 trim turbos that tells us nothing about it. I have a Garrett gt28r70 dual ball bearing turbo with air to water intercooling on that exact car and a tial 50mm bov and it sounds way meaner than that thing.
This guy doesn't look impressed by the car.
I doubt this rarity needed a turbo to begin with but makes it even sweeter, I love this car, there is a YELLOW 2004 one in my area from a lady who has kids and is just wasting the potential of this car. The kids eat candy and the whole car is covered in kid gunk. She wants 2800 for it, I really want it, but the yellow color just sucksssss.
7LBS! That's just crazy talk!
......... And then he did. 😂😂😂
What is the significance of Virginia is for lovers and your states license plate?
Haha okay
No lol I got that just like the stickers and the plates state saying is what I asked
Just bought a sentra se r. Would like to boost it if I had the money.
Stock Cobalt SS T has less power than this car.
So glad you finally got to do a spec v I've had mine for 2 years now with full bolt ons great first car but with only 200 hp stock it's times to get something fast and with a better interior nice review
Where at in virginia was this at? I live in Roanoke and iv got a 96' Nissan 200sx SE-R Turbocharged :D
He is in VA beach I believe. We have a decent car scene in nova. Mostly high end and classic though. There's a lot of old people with money around here so yeah.
Yah I've got a regulare Nissan sentra with dohc and for being a I-4 with 1.6l it's fast
CharM Lasko sr20?
*****
I'm not in Va beach, I'm in Richmond.
***** I've done a video at Great Falls. Nova is about it.
Find a Stage 3 Tuned Saab 9-5(ECU Flash to 290Hp/310Ftlbs, 3" DP, 2.5" or 3" catback, Intercooler. Some tunes need: 3.5Bar FPR and uprated fuel pump), And see how that feels to you. Some of the 9-3's are mad fun too.
Spec v's have shitty motors and they eat throw out bearings
Th3lastsong this motor was made to replace the sr20 in the US and was used for 10 years in over a half dozen different cars with superb recognition. The man that one the road Atlanta last year was rocking the same motor. They offer a pretty wide torque curve and exceptional response to modification. if you new anything about the qr25 at all, you'd know that ignorance can kill this motor, and is probably why you dislike it. And if you eat throw-out bearings so much, it typically means you a shit driver.. but thats none of my business.
I have never heard of anyone having throw out bearing trouble so A: learn how to drive & B: you sound like a fool because they a great motors unless you are an idiot and don't fix the intake and exhaust manifold issues which are easy to do
hey ThatDudeinBlue, if youre ever in the SF Bay Area, you should def. come review my 96 Infiniti G20 5spd SR20de. its another FWD SR-platform, but you literally never see them around as opposed to another sentra or altima or any other FFI4 setup.
I would love to see this car on 15+ pounds of boost :)
among my journey(and for all to beware)...
the car is fun, but if you are serious about it, check out 2j-racing, as they pretty much have everything you can and should mod on sentras,
i sleeved the block, because i didnt trust the stock open deck design, plus i wanted more rigidity in the cylinder,
the car is torqueeeeeee!!!!
compared to civic, this is not exactly a cheap tuner to mod, it is still in development and infancy as far as tunning goes compared to subaru/honda/toyota etc.
the engine has a very low RPM range because of the stroke, there is a video that explains how redline is calculated, watch it and see why this car only pushes 7k RPM
8k is WAY to much for this car no matter how much you mod it.
the 2.5 engine is not always the best solution, it weight a little more than the SR20 and the SR20 seems easier to boost from factory than the QR25.
i have had to mod the the short block assembly in order t protect my performance parts.
I had one fully paid off...silver sentra spec-v. loved it, wish I kept it but sold it for the wife that left me....FUUUCK! never give up something that you enjoy for no one! :(
I always get razor burn also, hate it! if you figure out a way to avoid it let me know!
Really hot psssh come to phx dude it was 110 yesterday
With no humidity. haha. It's 10x with humidity, and I love phx. Been there several times.
worse*
Ya I guess ...but it still sucks 112 today with 30% humidity with a Swamp cooler ugh !
The previous owner of my rex drove it to georgia to get a swap and drove all the way back also, then he sold it to me :P
ThatDudeinBlue If you think this car's first gear is slow, drive a Mazda Protege5. I drive one, and it's a constant game of seeing how quick your reflexes are to shift to second... Very annoying when you sound like you're trying to show off, but really you're just trying to shift to second to save gas lol
Your being modest about the torque steer ;)
