Ok so I haven been searching for ways to get more and more power out of my 4banger and wanted to sort of collab with every1 to get their opinions and ideas.Yes I know the first mistake I made was getting a CVT tranny and second getting a 2.5. I got a 2.5 because it fit me financially and I ended up getting stuck with a CVT because I wasn't patient and the stealership were being dumasssssssses.
So let me list my mods:
- Fujita WAI
- SentientByDesign Grounding Kit
- Custom Axle back (dumped muffler just for a bit of sound)
I really would prefer to get a cat back exhaust but for the price I think I would be better going another route.
After I receive my headers this weekend I plan on then purchasing the QTP electric exhaust cut out first discovered by hussain. Seems like a better route so I can open and close it on command and get the extra power when at higher RPMs for better exhaust flow and more top end[?]
To make up the for loss of torque with the headers I want to then get the Stillen lightweight pulley so it evens out the powerband.
I've been reading about other mods like transistors I wire on my air sensor and throttle body bypass mods that both have their ups and down.
After coming across a thread about the sentra se-r specv and how they have a different intake manifold, cams, and ecu mapping to bring the power up to 200hp. So my thoughts were why don't i hit everythingnissan.com, order some se-r cams, and drop them into my motor with a bit of tuning? Wouldn't that hopefully bring up my numbers?
Then of course invest in a bullydog triple gt tuner.
Thoughts? Opinions? Feedback? Ideas?
