Turbo X-trail

[555NAP]

did u try to buy a x- trail gt engine first? it would of been much easier?

good build anyways keep it up!

A front cut x-trail GT goes for around 15k. There was a partially damaged one for 8.5k I saw running around in Japan but needed new bottom end bearings.

Besides, the SR20VET that comes in the GTs doesn't really drop in to my X-trail at all, Its a huuuuuge job... They've got different transfer cases and gearboxes, plus they only came out in a CVT automatic and I don't want that at all.

On top of that, the QR25DE 5sp doesn't bolt up to the SR motor, so a custom bellhousing would be needed ($$$), and there's not a chance in hell of finding a clutch that fits the QR, and input shaft of the SR...

I know for a fact that the SR > non-GT x-trail conversion has never been tried, its almost physically impossible.

But yeh, it'd be amazing if it would work!

Thanks for the encouragement

there was a guy around the northern beaches in syd that had a turbo xtrail, thing had a sr20 in it but im pretty sure it was a manual, might have been one of those jap ones, will be a sleeper big time, the 2.5 in them standard isnt exactly a slouch for what it is.

yeh i know theres a guy in sydney with a GT pulls IIRC 211wkw, on 13psi i think. Doubtful it was manual, but i could be wrong.

The QR does pretty good... exhaust and intake, and its up with most bigger cars (commos, falcons etc). Sentras in the US are quick cars, heaps of the done up ones care competing with WRXs and EVOs.

Exhaust tomorro, will post bulk pics.

sweet as man,

yeah the t3 i had for it was fine, just ended up being oil return line kinked, i thought the oil seal went on it, but yeah rebuilding bottom end, but shit has come up in life, so planning on selling rolling shelling ready for paint, getting a r32 and chucking rb30 bottomend on it when its rebuilt, so was just passing through and spotted your thread.

take it easy best of luck,

peace.

Just wanna give you guys a bit of a sneak peak of the progress.

I gave up trying to do the exhaust myself, so its getting sent off to carline mufflers next friday for the dump and front pipe, the rest is an easy job that i can actually do myself.

Cooler piping's done, oil return is done, vacuum lines and breathers, pretty much everything except the exhaust.

heres some pics:

And yes, before anyone asks, the bumper does fit on with that intercooler piping...

[SLY-25T]

lookin and sounding good mate. shoulda left the exhaust off ;D lol on the road yet? u'll have to chuck up a vid of driving it around

[StealthX]

lol i rekon i'd last about 300m on the road before a yellow sticker if i had no exhaust haha

and after all, im not blessed with 6 cyls of heaven sounding RB note, ive got more of an SR sorta sound. So i gotta tone it down a little

Yeh its on the road, not tune yet so i just cant go into boost that far yet. starts making boost at about 2.5-3k and prob full boost by 3.5k maybe? not sure...

next vid is an in car one for sure lol

[NA_Goodness]

Looking good mate! How long until it hits the drags??

[StealthX]

i lost my license and get it back on christmas eve. going on holidays after then so soon after i get back.
