2004 Turbo Kit

[STi AdDiCt]

is there a turbo kit out yet for the 2004 sentra se-r spec v?

 

[Duke]

Yeah. It costs $21,000 and it makes 230 hp and 245 lbs of torque. It comes with a Torsen limited slip and it's called a Neon SRT.

21000 a bit expensive?

 

[skip0110]

Yeah. It costs $21,000 and it makes 230 hp and 245 lbs of torque. It comes with a Torsen limited slip and it's called a Neon SRT.

But it doesn't have Spec V in the name! You think not of the fanboys.

And the SE-R already has a limited slip, so that would be redundant.

 

[frestkd]

Yeah. It costs $21,000 and it makes 230 hp and 245 lbs of torque. It comes with a Torsen limited slip and it's called a Neon SRT.

For 21k USD I could build up my 1984 BMW E30 323i that would blow the doors off a SRT4 Neon. At the end of the 21K USD project I would have a really nice BMW not a Neon. Which is a fwd hunk a junk.

but you'd have a 1984 BMW 323i...That wouldn't have a nice stock sound system.....a warrenty......or a "2004" in the front of it..

 

[neanderthal]

for $20000 i could get a warranty and a better sounding stereo.

how do i know; when i got my engine rebuilt in my 1976 BMW 2002, it came with a warranty. and next year that 2004 will be last years model, and in a few years time it will be just another used car. just like the bmw.

 

[neanderthal]

and there was no 323i BMW offered ever in the states.

Hey, for 21k USD I could stroke and juice a 1982 Mustang GT so it runs 9's or 10's in the quarter. Or I could install hydraulics in 1980 Cadillac Eldorado. Neither of which would be remotely similar to a SRT-4.

Neon_duke brought up the SRT-4 because it competes in the same class as the SE-R, and pretty much dominates it. You '84 BMW is completely different.

This is the first thing a Google search turned up. I realize it is not fully developed yet, but you probably want to watch this site.

Also, in the test car's current state of tune, it still isn't matching the power output of the SRT-4 (for which Mopar already has aftermaket chips, etc. available that purportedly boost poer to 300+hp).

 

[Duke]

You can bolt 50 extra Mopar Performance horespower onto an SRT in a couple hours for under $500. Plus it's got 4-wheel independent suspension, unlike the current SE-R, so you can get a decent competition alignment into it and dial up the handling.

I don't have the high insurance rates, loan payments, high registeration fees that comes with that "2004 in front of it" overpriced Neon. Still a fwd pile of junk.

It's grey market import that I bought for $1500 USD. It needs a lot of work to where I want it.

Kristof

 

[Dorifto]

$21,000 plus my SR20DET would be nice.

 

[frestkd]

Ok 2004 BMW M3 is in the same class as the SRT4 then .... 3 series is BMW's Sportcompact Class car. BMW owns Mini but It's not a BMW it's a Mini. I don't compare cars by price, and yes I know you can buy close to three SRT4s for the price of a BMW M3. The SRT4 is top of the line Neon, the M3 is top of the line 3 series.

I don't have the high insurance rates, loan payments, high registeration fees that comes with that "2004 in front of it" overpriced Neon. Still a fwd pile of junk.

For $21,000 I can also buy a pristine 2001 6 cyl Audi A4 quattro with less than 30,000 miles on it. Hell, I could probably even find a hard-used S4 for that price.

So what? How does that have anything to do with a new, small, FWD car? Every idiot in the world has figured out that used cars are cheaper to buy than new cars. But old cars bring on a host of issues that new cars don't have. Again, DUH! I've owned 3 cars with more than 250,000 miles on them. They are a constant drain on time and money - a hobby unto themselves. That's fine, and I even enjoy the work when I can find the time to do it. But that's not what everyone is looking for.

Bringing a 20-year-old BMW up to "like new" - with a full mechanical rebuild, all the hidden rust correctly fixed, tears in the upholstery repaired, fresh paint - would cost a damn sight more than $21,000 and you bloody well know it. So drop the attitude already.

Hate the SRT for being a Neon if you wish; I don't give a crap. But you are blinding yourself to a car that is cheap for what it does and is an absolute ball to drive. Your decision. I prefer to have a more open mind. And the reason I brought up the SRT in the first place is that the sticker price is virtually identical to the SE-R Spec V, but the Neon kicks it's ass in every category except being Japanese.

 

[neanderthal]

considering the drivetrain of my 2002 was $4500+/- i call bull**** on that $20000 restoration figure.
then again, i am in california and have no rust problems.

What's with all the hate? You have a 20 year old, $1,500 gray market car that "needs a lot of work", but a brand new Neon that runs high-13s for an extra $500 is a pile of junk? Gimme a break.

The turbo is Japanese, don't get your panties in a wad sheesh it's my opinion and I have that right express it so chill.

[Driftster]

The only part I don't like about the Neon is the fact that the oil is all plumbed through the block and what not....It's not THAT bad...just something that makes a bare block not look as nice.

Doesnt anyone else think SCC's project SRT-4 kind of looks like a ladybug?

 

[Duke]

SCC can screw anything up. Actually, I think it looks pretty good. It's a nod to the Mopar AAR factory hotrods from around 1970. However, that particular nod was already done 6 or 7 years ago by numerous 1st-gen customizers. So SCC is well behind the times.

A little off topic, are we?
