Wait, If we unlock our engine like the S2k then @ 205ft/lbs our car should put out like 300-350, The s2k is a v6 right? Whast the stock Exhaust setup?

Thinking that you can simply 'unlock' something in an 8 year old motor design, dream on.. I hate to mention that comparing hondas to nissans, let alone a new inline4 to an 8 year old v6, is like comparing 'apples to oranges'.

shop(Headers-Catback) then I'll go back and Dyno again. Cool? Also I would like the guy here on the org in Weston to meet me there as a witness.

Big HP/liter isn't Nissan's philosphy and never will be. Only way you can get an engine to breathe that well at high RPM while maintaining decent drivability is variable valve timing and lift.

$175 an hour to tune is ungodly high. The highest I have ever seen previous to this post was $130 an hour.

2k an 2k1 turn out to have a cam profile of .232-.238 which wont be any better than what us 4th gens have..the ony 5th gen model is the 3.5 that has a nice cam profile that would give us a little gain. But getting it to work is going ot be hard.

That dosent make sence but oh well, if they came out with more agressive motors...when they sold them you would figure there hp ratings would be higher...
But i have a question and this goes out to EVERYONE. If the 2000-2001 makes 30 more hp then the 4th gens off intake manifold and exhuast... dosent that seem alot? Everyone with a MEVI says that the ECU is need for the great loss of low end...well since the 2000-2001 has a upgraded manifold how come they dident lose low end? do they come with an advanced timming ECU ?

It will also hit the firewall when the engine moves..not to mention getting it to work with your 4th gen egr setup..etc...sure it can be done..just get ready to fork over some $$

I don't know all of the particulars on JWT's nitrous piggyback system, but the point was that you can have both an N/A and nitrous program and switch back and forth. So your not SOL because you run nitrous, you just have to be willing to spend some money.

What I meant was the ECU is only tuned for a certain shot. There is a discussion about this in the nitrous forum. You give up upgradability for the ability to switch between maps. Upgrade that shot and the ECU becomes untuned for the application. If it was a wet system it wouldn't matter anyway.

The cams came in today, Hopefully I will have time to install them this weekend. The headers are ordered but I have no idea when they will be in. Just gotta wait until I get a new fuel controller and I'll dyno again. Will anyone be installing thier own cams/ headers? If so I'll take time to do a write up w/ pics, since JWT didn't provide any instructions.

I probably won't dyno before hand I'll just use my previous dyno as a reference. The only thing that has been added since that dyno was the dynomax muffler as opposed to the stock muffler.

Good luck with the install.
Are you going to pull out the motor? if not it's going to be hard to remove the the timing cover not much space. oh be careful when tightening the cam bearings or also know as caps, the cams are know to break. due to it been a hollow shaft. well keep us updated.

The headers came in today! I'm hyped about these. Hopefully I'll be able to install everything this weekend.
