Thread: not lookin for massive amounts of NA power, but . . .

I would love to find out ways to get just that little extra, i currently have a header, intake cam from a 91-94 SE-R, and a JWT pop charger. any other suggestions that would be a simple change that doesnt involve pulling the head, rebuilding anything, or anything of that matter, havent advanced the timing, dont wanna go there quite yet. any suggestions?

Go turbo get some cams maybe add nitrous if you get a big turbo, oh and rebuild the motor with forged lightweight stuff and get the head ported

sweet a smartass, love it. sorry bud this is the daily cant afford to have it down at all, also would like to know where i can get 2.5" piping that bolts up right after the cat but ends where it would bolt up to the stock muffler

...Or maybe lightweight pulleys light weight wheels lightweight flywheel carbon hood lexan glass and other general gutting of un needed parts like ac wipers stereo airbags all non drivers seats and so on

Don't do waste of time, the cat back isn't going to be much of a gain esp if going into stock muffler.(I feel your pain there though I have a stock cat back on my turbo NX ) If you are strapped for cash timing is really a good one

you can advance the timing a bit. adding more power requires a bit of labor.

i had a feeling im just not feeling the prices of gas lately, so i was waiting as a last minute resort to doing that. since im runnin mid right now, not premium

Get at least a short ram intake with that pop charger, and an adjustable FPR.

Why an adjustable FPR for a stock fuel system?

Fuel economy has alot to do with timing. As the propper amount of timing for any given throttle position, including wot, will result in more cyl pressure. The propper amount of timing for a given fuel and engine varies. By advancing the timing and running better fuel you will not only see an improvement in wot HP but in part throttle fuel economy. Back when gas was 1.25 and premium was 1.45 it made sense to tune a car for regular as the percentage of cost for the better fuel was really hi. Anymore, as gas is 3.25 a gallon give or take, and premium is still only 20 cents more a gallon, it pays to buy better fuel. I have shown a number of times on a number of different cars (mostly v-8 domestics) that tuning for premium and running better fuel yeilds more miles per dollar spent. Add that to the fact that the additive package in premium is so much better and you get better economy, cleaner injectors and valves, oil gets less contaminated, yada yada yada. I'm willing to bet you that on an accurate spread sheet that tuning your car for premium fuel costs less per mile travelled as long as the price of premium stays 20 cents more than regular. Oh yeah, and it will make more HP.
