Nissan Sentra B13 wanted to change engine

Bakit ka pala magpapapalit sir?

If newbie ka lang sa car, baka masyadong overkill yung SR20DE sayo?

Changing the engine is no joke.

Dami mong kailangan i-consider and you really need to have a deep pocket para okay lahat. Sayang lang if you cheap on parts and repairs. Baka madisgrasya ka pa.

just like renzo said,

kung newbie ka, hayaan mo na muna yung stock engine, kung hindi pa naman palitin yung makina, pwede na yan to start with,
know the basics ika nga, your heading agad sa tuner's territory with inadequate knowledge, mahirap yan, baka mas mapagastos ka pa sa huli, and worst, masira mo pa yung makina mo kinabit if hindi mo pa alam gagawin.

stick to the basics muna and do a lot of research and ipon ipon pa budget at the same time, para pag ready ka na, alam mo na more likely sa pasikot sikot na gagawin.

goodluck sir!

Actually, mas malaki gagastusin mo pag nag-engine swap ka.

It's not buy engine, put engine, drive.

It's buy engine, put engine, fix engine, tune engine, buy other stuff that should go with the engine...

And your sources should not be CASA. Dapat alam mo agad where to buy this and that.

I'm not sure kung may SR20DE sa Cinco (tama ba?) Cubao. Pero should you push through with your plan, yun.

Just please, please don't forget to upgrade your brakes. Getting into a possibly fatal accident is the last thing you'd ever want.

yes sir. i was just thinking n if mgbaklas ako engine genuine ung ipapalit kya tumawag ako sa casa.. pero mga sir if i opted to buy engine anu ung mga normally n pinaplitan sa engine. and mga how much kya aabutin.. estimate lng mga bossing if pati ung need ko bghin aside from the engine will be considered.

kaya practical un 1.6 engine na pamalit, di man ganun kalakas un power madami available parts if ever magkaproblema saka mas matipid sa gas, sa overhaul pinaka challenge dyan un gagawa, ingat ka sa mga nagmamarunong na mekaniko, if habol mo talaga un power, straight mo na sa SR20VE, 180-190hp saka plus 1 sa nasabi nila, upgrade mo din brakes if ever
