Review by Kenneth Berry for How to Build Performance Nissan Sport Compacts, 1991-2006 HP1541: Engine and Suspension Modifications for Nissan Sentra, NX, 200SX, and InfinitiG20. Covers engines GA16DE, SR20DE, QG18DE, and QR25DE. Rating: This is a great read, actually pretty informative for being the thickness of 2 magazines. Sarah is like a cat in love with cars, her curiosity pays off with knowledge. Definitely worth a read, and I've read it several times. This is not a step by step, but gives a great general understanding of performance products.

Review by John Smallberries for How to Build Performance Nissan Sport Compacts, 1991-2006 HP1541: Engine and Suspension Modifications for Nissan Sentra, NX, 200SX, and InfinitiG20. Covers engines GA16DE, SR20DE, QG18DE, and QR25DE. Rating: Although this book does not include the Z or the G35 (which are not really compact cars), it has excellent content for modding the small Nissans after the 510. This books is better suited to the current market than Bob Waar's classic, "How to Modify You Datsun" book. It has has conternt that is more relevent to people building street registered cars although it does touch race cars.

The book is a great aid on how to modify these car even though they have little aftermarket support compared to other brands such as Honda. The Turbocharging information is particularly good.

Overall its an excellent book. The guy who wrote the lame review above is on crack.

Review by P. Stevenson for How to Build Performance Nissan Sport Compacts, 1991-2006 HP1541: Engine and Suspension Modifications for Nissan Sentra, NX, 200SX, and InfinitiG20. Covers engines GA16DE, SR20DE, QG18DE, and QR25DE. Rating: Not a step-by-step workshop manual, but that would take 1000 pages... Sarah has done a great job in putting her knowledge together in a most comprehensive read to give you an idea of which direction you want to go.... LONG LIVE SR20DE engines....

Review by J. Mingioni for How to Build Performance Nissan Sport Compacts, 1991-2006 HP1541: Engine and Suspension Modifications for Nissan Sentra, NX, 200SX, and InfinitiG20. Covers engines GA16DE, SR20DE, QG18DE, and QR25DE. Rating: Combined with a factory service manual, this book was obviously written to be informative and provide tuning guidance, and not step by step processes, which it does effectively.

With regards to the book pointing to the "FSM", a person modifying a modern car would be insane to not own a Factory Service Manual.

While the engine performance modifications may not agree with some of the other reviewers, the turbocharger is the equalizer for sport compacts when compared to big displacement engines, which is my primary area of interest. However, the book covers tuning aspects from bumper to bumper, from suspension to driveline to body modifications.

A final thought, as one reviewer mentioned, Nissan Sport Compacts DO NOT receive the aftermarket support that Honda does. Knowing which manufacturers of quality parts to pick from is half the game, and the book points them out effectively.

No brainer for the price.

Bore (piston size) and stroke, (how far the piston goes up and down)
The outside of the block is the same. cylinders are a different size.

Dont mean to sound smarta–, but, displacement is the obvious difference IMO.

Comment on Is a small engine repair shop really that profitable? by straatmuzikant-NL

Is Possible. Start small, maybe in your garage. Test the demand in your area before spending big bucks.

I work in the automotive industry and can tell you it *can* be profitable.

It kind of depends on where you live. But now is the time to open one, because now people are always going to choose to repair their car rather than getting a new one. And since dealers will take profit over efficiency any day, many people would rather come to a private place anyway.

I say give it a shot.
