10? $10,000.00?

Get yourself an sr20, redtop or blacktop. You can stay with the automatic setup, but why, or convert your s14 to manual. Maybe this will help:

give that sweet 240 to a nicco head and go buy a HONDA!..then get the whirly thingy to stick in your exaust between the cat and it will sound all turbo'd out man...ricer!...

the above is my first thought man...imagine how your sounding to us here on the forum..but let me help ya a little bit...for $80. bucks..go to your local junkyard and pull a T-3 thats good for 10psi out of a saab 9000..buy an ebay turbo manifold..install+downpipe..some exaust mods..couple of oil/coolant lines..and your in like flynn....if your heart is set on acting like ya did somepin to your ride..then the honda forums are full of that junk..happy motoring!

Hey, well im sorry if im out of money after i spent it all on getting the car painted and the engine painted and getting the timing chain knock fixed are injecter problem fixed.It had to be done before i turboed it, and thats not a stupid post, i was told from someone that you can make an automatic 240 sound turboed without the muffler whistler and gain atleast 10 hp.He says to make a bov out of scratch and stick it in the intake, That will give a turbo sound according to him. He did it to his 240 and it works.He only spent like 20 bucks.

So you've spent money on making your car look nice. That's fine.And you've spent money on making sure the engine works properly. That's good.So theoretically, you understand the principle of saving and spending money for services and goods.So why would you want to waste money for your car to sound like a weak turbocharged car and really not be any faster, when you could save your money and eventually make your car actually faster?Seriously, just be happy with what you've done to make your car pretty and reliable for now, and save the money until you can actually afford that turbo. $10 crap is not going to get you 10hp. There are some DIY mods that can help, though. Search around and get your hands dirty (says the guy who sent his engine to be rebuilt, twice...)

im not really joking, someone told me that on an automatic that you can make a turbo sound, but i dont remember what he said, its something that has to do either with the evap or something.

If I were you, I'd stop before I got flamed off the forum. I understand you like what you like, but for a fair heads up this will not end well for reputation or what you have left of it. I think I know what your talking about, but it is basically a vacuum leak that makes a whiny sound and leans out the engine because there is unmetered air entering the engine thus producing more power since Nissan tunes for safe. Don't do it though because if you lean out too much then you will cause engine damage and have to spend that go fast money on replacement parts. So after that being said, Do what you want to do, just don't bother us when you melt a piston.

just drain all the fluid out of your p/s. and then you'll have a nice supercharger sound. and performance steering too.

It does not work that way, the factory computer does not make it run lean. How do you know it runs lean, do you have a wide band? If so you have a vacuum leak then. The factory computer does not run lean, Nissan never chose power over safety when it came to tuning efficiently. Nothing bad will happen with a slight vacuum leak, but if you add a turbo or spray then your engine will be toast. So before you start saying stuff you should know how it operates. Go read up on fuel injection or ecu tuning and you can understand how it works so you won't say uninformed statements like this.
