Hi everyone, just wanted to say hello. This is the only place that i would fit in on scionlife with my car. I have been browsing this site for a long time, just now started posting though. I have many friends around town that have scions, pretty much all are Tc's, so i know quite a bit. I am also around cars 24/7 with my job, so i try to learn as much as i can. Anyways, here is my ride.

2005 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec-V Supercharged (one of only two in the country)

Just recently dyno'd at 110 degree heat in Tucson, AZ at 5.5lbs of boost, and hit 253hp and 217ft-lbs. Here is the beauty







I always like to know what people think of it.

holy cow, sorry about the size of the pictures, i will change that

nice se-r. what kind of times are you getting in the 1/4mile

DefyF8

took it out with a rough tune once the charger was put on and best we got was 13.973 @ 101mph, but the 60 foot times sucked. tomorrow we are taking it out again on drag radials and aiming for 13.5 or so. That first time i was about 240hp, 212tq, we bumped it up a bit, and pushing more power now, 13.5 shouldn't be bad with a good launch.

heyitznosaj

wow... very impressive numbers especially in AZ temps. Nice sleeper you got there.

SE-Rs really take well to any sort of performance mods. Im just not a big fan of the look of them plus their internals and tranny are really POS's. Not to derail the thread though. Those are some pretty impressive numbers for a S/C!

nice

The only thing holding back the internals of the engine are the rods which are pencil thin in the QR25DE. The tranny is just fine, there used to be grinding problems in third gear for the earlier models (2002 and 2003), but those were recalled and replaced. The six speed tranny is now pretty much bulletproof, and can take a TON of abuse.

As for the internals holding the car back, people can safely put down 300-310 wheel horsepower and be safe on stock internals, it would be pushing it a little, but its been proven safe. Oh well, my engine is getting build next month

I remember back in the day on scionlife I got called out by a stock '05 SE-R spec-v... He came out there with a friend & a video camera. He came back with a video of my beating him by 2-3 car lengths, 3 different times.

I only had intake & header at the time..

The video should be on this board somewhere.

that se-r should learn how to drive then. Theres cars have good HP and decent torque. Nice kill but there had to have been driver error involved on the SE-R driver's part.

Got it dyno'd yesterday

HP - 280
TQ - 243

This is a dyno chart of my best three runs fully bolted and tuned a few months ago, and now at 7.75psi

DefyF8

let me know what you guys think

Nice Spec V you got there! Good luck trying to get that engine warrantied if you blow a rod...

When I was shopping for a new car 2 years back I was seriously considering the se-r. Decided not to due to pricing, but damn very very nice setup you have going. How're you affording all that man? Congrats on all the work, do you have someone running the setup for you? Incredible car and big up to ya.

BEAUtiful! Nice car man! Was one of my first choices! keep up the great work.

DefyF8

It has been out of warranty since 1000 miles


Thank you!! This is my own hard earned money that has paid for everything on this car!! What do you mean by, "do you have someone running the setup for you?"? This is my daily driven car

Tamago

nice! good to see a lil competition over here. ever thought about a VQ35 swap?

DefyF8

yes, but this came at a better price. I know 4 Specs with a VQ swap, its a real pain to deal with the wiring. Oh well, my power curves look better than the VQ

heyitznosaj

Man, I wish I could drive that everyday

We need to setup a race between you and a stage 1 turbo'ed tC.
