Default HELP: Need ideas on turboin' a Sentra SpecV

Alright you turbo gurus. Got a question for ya..

I'm helping my friedn turboing his Sentra Spec V. However, I dunno what kind of fuel management I can use on his car? I'm thinking MF2 (since I already have the unit laying around and I love it). However, for the time being..you think I should go w/ FMU and run like 5psi till we upgrade the fuel management?

Also, where can I get all accesseries like oil return line, oil feed line (stainless) and silicone hose..etc? All help are welcome!

Thanks in advance

Hey where are you located? I've been wanting to get my hands on one of those cars to build a manifold and some other parts.. I'm in PA.. Check www.turbopiping for the parts you need.

i'm in central, nj. but my friend lives in MA. I found out that the stock header can be made into a manifold (just cut the cat off and it looks very do-able).

That should work fine. Those motors seem like they have alot of potential.. only 9.5 compression and 180hp stock. Plus its a freegin 2.5L It should put down some impressive numbers.

Yup. I'm thinking t3/t4 turbo and run prolly like 5psi until we can figure out the best engine management. fmu is the way to go for now (I guess?)

Well.. I have always liked the extra injector controlers better. I don't know much about the nissans though so there might be some sort of a chip or something you can get for it. Worst case you could just go with the sds system.. That motor should be able to handle 10psi easy and put down 300+whp..

that's what i'm thinking too. MF2 is a greate device if you're not boosting like crazy

I know this post is old, but if you're still thinking about this, the FMU won't work because the Sentras use a returnless fuel system.
