Nissan Sentra Tuning

Everyone around the globe respects Nissan for the quality of cars it produces. Nissan Sentra is yet another successful car from Nissan running on the roads till date. In reality, it is the makeover of Nissan Sunny, which was once the most celebrated compact cars of Japan. It is unbelievable to see the space within the car, even though it belongs to the small segment.

One must keep a very important aspect in mind that this car was never engineered for Pro-Street stuff, hence any tune-up must be properly monitored and configured. Let us see what all parts you could use for your Sentra and increase its performance to a whole new level.

Since the Exhaust system is one of the most important components of a high performance car, we would configure it first. A ‘cat back’ exhaust definitely suits the sensitive Sentra. The HKS Legamax Premium exhaust kit has shown tremendous results for Sentra in the past. One must not compromise on the quality of finish. Though poly-silicon finishes are cheap and perform well, one should stick to a quad titanium finish for best results. You would experience an instantaneous gain in the overall RPM. The large radius bends help to back pressure and exhaust gas temperature. The larger diameter pipes help you to tune up the vehicle with heavy configuration. Moreover one needs a better exhaust tube to maintain the pressure within.

Shifting our focus towards the Engine and Advanced Electronics, we carefully monitor the volumetric efficiency. The engine needs to be geared to level-3 and should be well backed by the wider pipes network.

At such ominous speeds, the friction and pressure can come into picture which can lower the speed. We use a VAC Type GT-R device to cancel speed limiter. Also, the CAN-BUS signal is controlled with HKS’ original system to cancel speed limiter safely. After all the setup is complete, one can monitor the speed on a test drive project and get to know how the car performs with such a configuration.

How many of you heard of the Stillen Header/Downpipe? Stillen headers are manufactured exclusively for Nissan models and suit very well with the internal engineering. The intake and filtration processes get very smooth after such parts.

We have to improve the time delays between shifting of gears and hence go for the ‘Faktion Short Shifter’. A small device that is priced just under $100 is of great use. It is advisable to invest on Redline Tranny fluid for Sentra. Always keep a check on the fuel drainage system in this case.

The HKS Upgrade kit consists of a Racing Centre Pipe, a racing Intercooler pipe kit and two uprated actuators. Such a combination increases the internal boost to a whole new level.

The Hydraulic clutch improves the overall riding experience. Faster transitions and liquid engineering make it a perfect asset altogether.

The physical appearance lacks a lot of punch and hence needs a complete renovation. Black carbon fibre bodies with detachable hardtops would suit the overall looks of this vehicle. The latest trends of air brushes on a steel body are fashionable enough to modify the looks.

Sentra’s re-incarnation is a surely a tough ask but a final product is worth a 1000 diamonds.
