92' sentra with SR20DET swap
I think this car has alot of potential. I want to upgrade the stock T25 to a T28 turbo to potentially obtain 350 plus hp. The car already has a wastegate and blowout valve piggy back cpu, and a few other things. I know i need to upgrade the clutch and a few other modes and i am looking for suggestions on what type of injectors i need to replace to give the motor its full potential without tearing the motor's bottom end apart. I am going to buy cams and cam gears but i would like a good response on what i should do...
thanks for any information that could help me in my project

JAY WHITLEY is ur best friend to work on that car.
Assuming your motor is in good condition, a GT28R (T28, running 14-16psi of boost, tuned with all the bolt ons, would be a very fun car. Keep in mind, I had a friend do a 12.8@108mph with a bolt ons turbo B13 (T25) on 14psi. The car is a sleeper, and alot of Nissan fanboys don't even know what it is. The only downside to the car is that it's a FWD layout, so don't aspire to produce enormous amounts of power like the 240SX guys or you'll run into traction problems.
Pros:
Lightweight chassis (2410lbs. full weight)
Great handling characteristics (only Sentra of that generation with independent suspension components)
Great interior and exterior looks
The SR20DE and SR20DET FWD motors are practically the same internally as the RWD counterpart (aside from underside oilsquiters, distributor setup, and other misc. things) so parts are always easy to find for this motor.
Cons:
The factory B13 transmission, which you have to mate to the SR20DET if you have the JDM motorset, has a weak input shaft bearing. Third gear is normally a problem point if you have an aggressive clutch pushing over 250whp. What happens is the torque from the motor warps the input shaft bearing, causing gearset to pull away from it's mesh point, ultimately leading to 3rd gear failure. Cracking the transmission casing on the driver side axle input can also be an issue at or beyond 250whp. 5th gear popout is also another issue to be conserned about with these transmissions. I had a friend in highschool that had a B13 SER, stock with 60k miles, and he had the 5th gear popout. (A remedy for this is to use the B15 transmission from the newer Sentras, since they have stronger internal components.)
This is a very cool car, but if you insist on producing 350whp, these are some things you should be aware of if you're not savvy with how the B13 layout reacts to power. These are rare cars, so take care of yours. I would love to own a stock one as a daily driver. Good luck with your setup.

that's all tru but if it's a 54c motor is all different, eveything is different, parts dont match and power levels tend to exceed the rwd and the fwd.
54C motor? There's a GTi-R motor, which you're probably referring to. 54C parts were used throught the FWD and RWD cars. Yes, a stock GTi-R motor will make more than any of the stock FWD motors, but is merely comparable in power to RWD T28 equipped motors like the ones from the S14 and S15.
