Thread: Current Setup vs. Future Setup Comparison

Hey Guys and Girls,

Looking for an ESTIMATE of what I am making now vs what I SHOULD be making with the new setup. This will be going into a 2001 G20t daily driver, so noise and comfort considerations (AC and Power Steering) are a must. Car just needs a little more oomph. Passing power, if you will. No drags/auto-x/racing planned.

Current Setup:
- Non-RR Lowport
- Stock RR ECU and MAF
- Stock RR injectors (259cc)
- Stock Lowport Cams (intake and exhaust)
- RR Intake Mani
- Walbro 255lph fuel pump w/ stock FPR
- SSAC w/ 2.5" collector
- WAI
- Stock Cat
- Stock Catback

Also, to note:
- P11 70V Trans
- Stock Non-RR Flywheel
- Stock Non-RR Crank Pulley

Future Setup:
- RR Lowport
- 99 SE-L ECU and MAF (upgrading to 96 P10 ECU after I install VE Dual Valve Springs/Retainers/Seats)
- Stock Lowport Injectors (259cc)
- JWT S3R Cams
- P10 Intake Mani
- Walbro 255lph fuel pump w/ Tomei AFPR
- SSAC w/ 2.5" collector
- WAI
- Stock Cat
- MES 2.5" catback (22" Magnaflow resonator and Vibrant muffler)

Also, to note:
- B15 70V Trans
- SR16VE Flywheel
- GSpec Lightweight Crank Pulley


DISCLAIMER: Neither setup will be tuned as far as I can see. Best case, my current JWT ECU makes its way over to the P11...much later.


Now I know there will be a nice jump in HP and torque from my current setup. How much? That I am not sure. That's where I am looking from expertise for you folks.

What do you guys think I should be getting with each of my setups? My best guesses (based on forum research) are as follows:

Current: 120whp, 110wtq
Future: 145whp, 125wtq

Does that sound about right? LMK what you guys think!

Basically this:

Current slower
Future slow


If you were a P11 a/t it would be slowest.


But what do I know, I haven't had a P11 in 3 years.

^^^ agree will also consider a bigger flow cat or testpipe to that equation

Hahaha! I know this, damnit! My NX will be the weekend warrior with the go-fast, turbo duties. P11 is my clean, comfortable, non-leaking daily driver. Just needs a little more power to help with not getting rear ended on the freeway on-ramps and such. And for a little more fun as well, since I drive it 90% of the time.

And some Prothanes in the X-member helped a LOT with throttle response in my auto P11 back in the day! I could actually spin the wheels a little bit when stomping it from a stop!



Yes, current setup is VERY restrictive (non-RR lowport with RR IM, non-RR lowport cams), but that will all be remedied in the new setup. Cat will stay in place since it's a daily. Our Nissan cats actually breathe decently well and do help with keeping the sound a little more quiet. Again, this is not my go-fast car. Just trying to give my daily a little bit of help in the power department.

A VE is a must, just not sure how easily they are had over there...

VE wasn't really a serious consideration, as the P11 is quite heavy and will be a daily driver, so I figured the midrange torque is probably going to be more useful vs. top end.

I thought about going turbo (at first) actually, but then realized that I wanted to show some self-control on my Daily Driver. Keep the costs relatively down and also make use of the RR engine since I already had one.

Overall, I think I am going to be happy with my choice. Now I jsut need to find a 99 engine harness so I can get this damned thing back on the road and out of my work parking lot!!
