Nissan
Posted: 09 Nov 2007, 11:07 pm
This is for those Honda Owners who know everything about Honda and nothing about nissan, here i will try to explain why Nissan is a better choice for performance than Honda.
We will look at step by step at all the classes of the two brands and compare each model.
Civic VS Sentra
B13 B14 notice the 2.5l V6 engine in this car
B15 B16 okay, most of you know about the usual system of a honda civic owner , yada yada, buys car, then looks for a swap, well the same goes for the sentra guys, and just like the honda EF,EG,EK there is the sentra B13,B14,B15 and the new ones B16 body codes.
However the big difference comes here, for the B13 1991 to 1994 model sentra, your engine choices are as follow, SR20DE motor which is basically a 140hp sentra ser engine, which is stock if you buy the upper model in those days, next option for the same B13 is SR20VE which is the Vtec version of that non-vtec ser motor this engine produces 170hp/160tq approx, then you have the next option which would be a RED TOP i.e a SR20DET, this is the SR20 Motor with Turbo and Vtec, this engine is just to cool for civics to compare, 230hp/220tq stock appx can be boosted to alot more.All engines are DOHC.
Normal Engine swaps for Sentra
SR20DE = $700 = 1,700 dhirhams = stock 140hp/132tq
this engine can make up to 400hp with turbo
SR20VE = $1,200 = 2,700 dhirhams = stock 180hp
this engine can make more than 500hp on stock internals and pump gas with only 15lbs of boost
SR20DET = $1,500 = 3,400 dhirhams = stock 220hp or more easily make more than 700hp on a built engine.
the above engine are only for one model type they can be put in 240sx, 300zx's and all but those are the only engines swaps that fit the B13, next is the B14 sentra the 1995 model sentra to 1999, and this model can have all these mentioned engine swaps plus a really nice one called the VQ, yes a freaking Maxima V6 3.5L 260hp/250tq engine in a car lighter than the EK civic. and it would only cost $2,000 for the engine and maby $3,000 for complete labour and all.
then from 2000 to 2006 you have the B15 sentra's that came with the 2.5L 180hp/170tq 6spd SE-R Spec V engine, just with intake that car pulls 14sec stock.
and the new ones 2007-2008 B16 sentra's 200hp stock.
Normal engine swaps for civic
ZC = (1.6L DOHC non VTEC) 125-132 hp/106tq = $700
B16A (B16A 1.6L VTi) 168hp/116tq or (teg Si)158hp/112tq = $ 1,200
B16C 195hp/130tq = $2,220 = 5,000 dhirhams
B18a (LS) 140hp/130tq = $1,800 = 4,000 dhirhams
B18c1 (GSR) 170hp/128tq = $3,000 = 7,000 dhirhams
B20 Z/B 126-146hp/121tq = $2,800 = 6,400 dhirhams
F22 127-160hp/137-147tq= $1,800 - $2,500 = work it out...lol
More expesive swaps
B16B CTR 185 hp/118tq = $4,000 = 9,200 dhirhams
B18C5 (Type-R) 200hp/130tq = $4,500 = 10,350 dhirhams
H22A 200hp/161tq = $5,000 = $14,500 dhirhams
K20 220hp/206tq = $ 9,000 = 27,000 dhirhams
K24 160hp/162 tq = ?
i think the prices tell the story and the torque ranges why nissans are better
Accord or Prelude VS Maxima= maxima
S2000 240hp VS 350Z 300hp= 350 Z
NSX VS Skyline= ???????.....skyline.lol though NSX are very nice but just tooooo expensive to play around with overpriced for what they are and parts.
i have been in the car scene so i have good knowledege and experiance....
hope this helps you guys understand, this was for those who referred me to tell them something about nissan, even though i own a 350 i though it would be easier to explain with the smaller cars.
