there is a guy on [myspecv.com](http://myspecv.com) who has the 1st ever vg30 swapped into his sentra. it also has upgraded turbo, a lot of custom work, all new internals, etc…but he paid over $12,000 to have it done. it is supposed to hit over 500whp with pump gas…i know its only a esentra, but is that much money worth any kind of swap??
i told him to trade it in and get a evo/sti or something a lot faster…

yeah never calculate how much you have invested in your hobbies… especially if one of your hobbies is being a car enthusiast…
wait until he starts breaking things… or when he wants to become ihra legal…

^^ true, I would pay sooo much money if I had it to get my alltrac up and running to a solid 500awhp and if it was a fun driving car that I loved to every aspect then it was worth everything I put into it.
But then again it would be better to put the money into a mr2 alltracs are just too heavy of cars.
