im thinking of keeping my 91 na fairlady na instead of dropping in the vg30det like i was planning, does any1 know of any mods i can do (other than nitrous) to make my car faster and still keep it na? i'ver already done a catback system.

High flow aftermarket headers, removing the radiator fan and replacing it with a 12volt substitute, pop charger, changing around the intake to get a more direct flow into the intake manifolds... for example two MAFs (one per TB) and a "Ram Air" piping scheme is not too hard along with that MAF idea.

Most of this is going to be better with larger injectors and a fuel computer to regulate it

I'm sure there is more to do, but those are just ideas I have explored personally

how much hp would you estimate all of those mods would give me?

[evildky]

with intake, headers, exhaust, ecu, cams and proper tuning you can get over 200 whp, or you can spend less and buy the TT front cut and get 240 whp with stock tune

Well...

the fan mod has reported 3-8 HP from the parasitic losses

RAM vs Cold air mods depends where you draw the air on for density and temperature but you should gather 8-12ORA dual sensor set up or doolz it can be 10-20ish?

You could go with some JWT cams too but the HP marks on all of these things are not well documented. I agree with evildky you can go NA with all these mods that normal NA cars do and spend more over time or push for a TT swap for a better "boost". Fact is most mods are to support the TT platform, so they will be proportioned and reported in TT spec most of the time so its also hard to give exact specs to you.

[evildky]

keep in mind mods like car back exhaust and intake will carry over should you swap to a TT alter, everything else would be motor specific

TT FTW!!!

yea i read over what you guys said and it does make alot more sense to go ahead and do the swap. especially because my car has alot of miles on it so doing alot of mods id prob. have to rebuild my motor to support the extra horsepower gains, i found a shop around me that sells jdm motors and they say they'll drop in a jdm vg30dett with stock turbos and all that jazz for 1400, which sounds good to me, only thing is i gotta do intercooler, and intake on my own and then also i need to find some turbo manifolds so i'll pass smog. now i gotta jst start saving!!!
