Daily driver needs more power

Post by **SiL1480** » Sun Jul 20, 2003 8:40 am

Hi,

I just bought a '97 200sx SE (automatic

) as my commuter car. But the stock 1.6 needs more power. Mostly highway and hills so i need some suggestions. Remember im not going all out on this car. Im in the budget of maybe 300-400. I/H/E ? any suggestions?

Thanks

well headers will provide best gains, but not much without exhaust or intake, i suggest you do all three, however, headers are a good 5oo, exhaust about 35o, and intake about 15o or so

well the best headers out there 4 the ga are the hotshot.you can get them at optionsautosalon.com for around $400.the hotshot cai is around $250 and it's one of the best for the ga.

thats pretty expensive for a CAI, but any numbers on what these put down?

Post by **nacho_nissan** » Sun Jul 20, 2003 8:40 am

well the cai is actually $227 and it should give about 6-8hp.the headers are great.i dont know the numbers for the ga,but they give 12whp on a SR20.

on the N/A sr? intake headers and exhaust are 3 basic mods that most people get right off the bat, and some critisize and call people 'ricers' just cause all they have is I/H/E , but run a stock car, and then the same car with I/H/E, it makes a dman good difference when they're all combined

yes on a n/a sr20de.see it 4 yourself at hotshot.com.

the best bang for the buck will be nitrous. If you don't have much money to spend, and want to be fast (quick) then get a wet nitrous kit. Try a 5 speed swap then bolt ons. I/h/e/p is a good place to start, then go with a 75 wet shot. Should be good for mid 14's or faster with good driving.

yea, nitrous is huge bang for the buck, but i must admit, in this months Import Tuner they gained 1o6whp for $64o on a 1st Gen turbo talon, thats amazing. O, and thanks for the website NacoNissan

I don't read import tuner much. I love SCC though. They really dig the silvia/240/skylines. I love reading about Project Silvia, too!

Post by **nlzmo400r** » Sun Jul 20, 2003 8:40 am

yea, im not muhc of an import tuner fan, but i love SCC, R&T, and i also like 'most' stuff in Super Street, but im subscribed to all of them, and once i read those, i have nothing to read, so i go grab IT

Post by **Altiman94** » Sun Jul 20, 2003 8:40 am

SCC really digs the new VQ motor too.

Post by **nlzmo400r** » Sun Jul 20, 2003 8:40 am

yea ive notived, ive been dying to see them swap it into a 24o or something, they'd be the ones to do it to

Post by **Altiman94** » Sun Jul 20, 2003 8:40 am

^ that's true. I wonder how off the dimensions of the tranny, driveshaft, and rear diff are froma 240 compared to a 350 if you were to do the swap.
