I am trying to keep everything really low profile now do to cops and my street driving style... i want to just be able to cruise around at night and drive my car to the track and have it be reliable too.
i want my SR20 to look all stock but still have some power.
here is what i have now but i want to simplfy. im not going to run intake, front mount, fpr or anything in the engine bay that looks modded.

what do you mean by driving style? if you drive like a retard..youre going to have cops pulling you over regardless of what car you are driving.. you can drive like a douche in a geo metro and cops will still pull you over..

beeen reffed twice so im trying to lay low. this is southern california we are talking about not NYC
cops are all over illegal shit here
everytime im pulled over the cops points out my intake and front mount they dont know shit about the motor i just want it to look stock.

know one will understand what the cops are like in socal unless theyve experienced them first hand...... thus being said
run a larger smic (ie mkiv supra or s15...something along those lines)
s15 or s14 turbo
injectors
maybe step1 cams
good drop in filter
good tune
you could also extrude your stock manifold.
keep the stock bov and all stock piping
3" piping to stock 3"muffler like a supra muffler or evo or sti...something along those lines.
gl avoiding the cops your best bet is to just build your car and buy a stock DD.......

Well theirs a couple things you can do. First off replace your electric fan with the stock fan and shroud, which should cool better then your electric fan and look more stock at the same time.
Next find some black heat wrap for your headers to give it a more stock appearance, which will also help you drop your intake charge temp.

im going to try and only drive my car at night and to the track now
i dont want to have to tune again but if i have to i will. cant i do a decent hp setup with s15 turbo? everything else sounds good.

Since I dont think you even bothered looking at the thread...
Ill show you the highlights of it.

There are still more things that can be done to make it look more stock like... get rid of the blue vacuum hose and coupler.
Also a heatshield would make it look "stock".
1. Rubber tubing around intercooler pipes
2. Paint intercoolers black with that radiator paint stuff
3. recirculate bov's and paint them black and hide them out of site as much as possible
4. No visible gauges that cops can see. Hide them in a ash tray or glove box
5. use black everything in engine bay - no blue vacuum lines etc.
6. Heatshields are your friend. Try to make a heatshield to cover aftermarket mani if possible.
7. Keep your fan shroud on.
8. Factory as possible exhausts and add a extra resonator or muffler and then dirty it up, paint it black, or scratch up the tips to where its not shiny at all.
9. Sr owners make the valve cover look like a KA valve cover as much as possible.
10. Keep the shell of a cat convertor around a test pipe.
11. Keep engine bay dirty and not super clean.
12. No stickers pertaining cars or car part makers
13. Use as little window tint as possible because cops love to use the window tint excuse as a reason to pull you over then they go on to ask about mods etc.
14. Keep stock body, stock tailights, stockish looking seats. Cause what attracts attention to begin with is the looks of the car.

Better idea....KEEP THE FUCKING KA in. Most cops arent dumb, they know a fucking SR when they see one. They know that 240sx arent turbo'd...

1st OF ALL, WHY ARENT YOU TOWING YOUR CAR TO THE TRACK???
That truck is more then capable of towing your setup and as it looks to me your not short on cash to buy a trailer...

i have no place for a trailer or the money for it. plus i wont be going to the track all the time. i want to drive it at night.
ill just put it back to stock then go from there. if anyone is getting rid of all their stock sr stuff send it my way. or if u have a complete s13 ka24de swap ill concider that too.
thanks

just stop driving like a dumb ass and when you get pulled over respect the cop... Its your fault you've been reffed. I live in socal to and i've been pulled over but never had my hood popped.. so my guess is your giving the cops shit and/or drive like an asshole...

well to me sounds like you could still keep ur setup but just put in a top mount intercooler and run a diff. exhaust. i'm not from cali so i don't know the rules but if that's what ur problems are from the cops fix just those problems and call it a day. or could always get push type fans and see what the clearance is between rad. and motor in order to put a intercooler there.

you can leave it all stock and do cams injectors, maf, a 2871 turbo, and a good tune and it would make a ton of power and look the same as stock, but a stock looking sr still isnt a ka...
