i do agree..no point putting money on the car and especially if he is gonna go all out and manual swap too!! as long as the car is riding gud

No kidding,it's not like we are starting with a sport car that has potential to be made faster,turbocharging a platform that is already problematic seems pointless to me.

dosnt matter if thats what he wants try and help out not put the idea down.i would love to do a full sr20 setup in mine.better then just buying a quick car saying hey look at me.You built it.So it means more,and you get allot more attention.i got a friend with a reg old green neon,with a SRT42.4 turbo stage 2.puts down over 320whp.its a beast,not the prettiest but you know will mop the floor with almost anycar...i appreciate the work he put in to it.Ya it would have been allot easier to buy the SRT4 but his car is badass

Maybe you missed the "worth it or not" part of the thread title

Seems like responses saying it's not worth it are surely "on topic" and reasonable.

again....In all honesty if he is asking theres probably a part of him that wants to do it.Its not gonna be as fast as you prob want but if its something u wanna do,go for it.

Why do people on this site act like there badass or Ethugs....Espc since we are running Sentra's..lol..Not like we all have serious drag cars here.Its taking a car that was designed for economy and money saving and making it your individual car,looks and speed.If you want a boosted 1.8 thats cool...if u want a 4ft wing on it go for it,not my cup of tea but its your car.

I see where you're coming from. My main point is don't ask the question if you're not gonna like the answer. For others telling those with contradictory views that their views aren't welcome, let me introduce you to the internet.
