Has anyone ever turbocharged their 4A-GE engine with an Apex'i turbo? If so, does anyone have any pics of the engine?

I like the fact that you're using Nissans engine/chassi code scheme (such as: KA24DE-T or RB26DETT)

Just because Nissan uses it for their engine codes, that doesn't mean it's across the board ^_^
4A-GTE is a perfectly valid way to specify a turbo 4A-GE, and would be the factory code were it ever produced. See also: 4A-GZE (the Z means supercharged).

Yes, Slonie is correct. I wont get too mad at you Crashdrive. But, lets just put it this way. If I wanted to be a nooby Nissan engine dude then I would say 4A-GET. Because on Nissans you always tack the "T" on the end. Anyways, could you use Apex's IHI RX-6 BB Turbocharger somehow? I'm wondering this all because I simply can. It just intrigues me to figure it out. Oh and BTW I have looked around and researched this topic.

"Too large" means that the compressor side blades are too large, making them harder to spin around, and, as a result, causes the turbine side blades to spin slower too. A 1.6 liter engine doesn't create that much exhaust gases, so the energy from their flow is smaller when compared to a 2 liter engine. Do you understand now?

darkstar is correct, but you also gotta know what the turbo application will be.
Highway? Drift? Drag?
it'll play a part in tubro choice...a larger turbo might not be the greatest for drag or drift but on the highway a car that needs power and has along time to come up with it...a larger tubro will suit it fine...now for drifting or winding roads or even drag a smaller to midsize turbo does better since it doesn't lag as much and will give u a better boost response rather than...well...more boost...
jus know what ur gonna be doin with the car and chooce the appropiate turbo for the application
