lol what ive decided, at first i didnt really like 1st gens at all.... but damn they grow on you.... i almost bought one til i found my se-r
but yea the japanese version of the sr20 is the same thing, they have a SR20DE (same, and 10:1 compressions) and many many versions of the SR20DE-T (same thing, jsut turbo and various addons)

The sentra remind me of the 90-94 protege except its alittle rounder and comes in a 2 door ,, either car they still have easy turbo upgrades to make them go hella fast i could of turbo charged my motor and got 300 hp but i want it to be more reliable so i bought a GTR motor ...How much hp can a SE-R sentra transmission hold? ...Jon 93lx

yea... the sr20 engine is a bit stronger stock though, from what i can find... but i hear exactly what you are sayin there!
our trannys (in the se-r) i believe will do fine with 300-350hp... not exactly sure on that number... but after that they crap out on us. really thats our only problem with nissan, in all their cars with the sr20 weather it be FWD, RWD, or AWD.... they arent strong enough, but there are easy upgrades for our trannys for a mear 200 bucks that will help them stand more power. ah and one big complaint... our 3rd gear i guess is relatively easy to break... i hear of alot of turbo guys breaking it. but we can buy new syncros and gear sets cheap

lol yea, i just hate the engine in the 3rd gens.... no offense, but i see no potential, unless you are willing to swap.... oh and i own a 3rd gen, and have owned another one too.... if you see.
but im starting to love this project even more:
where we are doing the turbo install in a month or so, in my friends big garage/workshop that can fit 3 cars atleast.... there is going to be my friends 97 Tbird (v6) getting a new heart (engine)...... a 03 Mustang Cobra engine, our of a wrecked car.... hes been workin on it for a few months, and finally is going to put it in.... drool, he is looking at 500hp with the few things hes done to it....
haha ill still win haha, righhtttt

yea but the FS just isnt as strong, and cant be as reliable under alot of power.... i mean **** there are guys runnin around on all stock SR20DE engines, boosting 30psi, and running 400hp DAILY! you're talking 10-11 second cars..... sure the trannys have been upgraded to be stronger, but these are reliable daily drivers... talk about potential
