Yah i have the same motor...i really like the 4 cylinder in terms of pickup...but once i hit 70 mph theres hardly ANYTHING under that pedal, takes me forever to hit 100+....will a catback system really improve the performance a lot?? isnt it like 5-10 horsepower??
YES it will DEFINATELY be something you'll feel. I've said this before and I'll relate the story again. I have an '03 Sentra and the flex hose blew out. Basically leaving open path from the cat to the atmosphere. It was loud as shyt but she got up and went. I noticed a MARKABLE decrease in the pickup when I replaced the flex hose finally. (And I topped my Sentra out the most I got on flat terrain in a straight line was about 120 MPH.) As for the parts making up a turbo... That will be a LARGE undertaking. You have to change the ECU the exhaust manifold, add the intercooler, turbo, and oil cooling lines, BOV and intake... Not to mention the fuel system depending on how big a turbo you get you'll possibly need bigger injectors and a higher capacity fuel pump.
Anyways yes the 4G64 has potential. That's actually the sme engine in my Stratus. One of these days I'll get off my behind and actually do something with it LOL... I think first thing will be a paint job...
