tuning options...

[wannaB!]

i am new to S chassis world, and i drive a euro spec 96 200sx. i dont have alot mods, the valvetrain is built, z32maf and a fmic that i have yet to install, and the stock t28. i am very happy with this car, i am a civic convert.

anyways, over here in Germany, finding a person who tunes turbo japanese motors has proven to be a very, very hard task. so i was wondering if you guys might have any other options for me to see 300whp? i think that is not too crazy of a number to expect from this car.


ps, i am american, i just live in the Dirty Germ!

forgot the cams... 265.

Getting 300 WHP out of that setup will be tough.

270~280 WHP is a more reasonable goal.

If you're only wanting to go to that horsepower level I would recommend getting some 440cc S15 Injectors, Wideband AFR gauge and then using an AFC Neo or find a company to get you a ROM tune. However if you plan to do more upgrades in the future then I would recommend a stand alone.

I really don't like Apexi Fuel Control products but in certain cases such as these where you're only wanting to go barely outside the limits of a stock setup, I just find it hard to recommend spending more money.

i was thinking that 300whp would be the best reasonable number considering my circumstances. i mean, of course i would like to go higher in the future, but without proper tuning i just don't know...


i was going to go with 550cc, walbro fuel pump and eventually a bigger turbo... there is no shop over here i would trust to do a real motor build, so 300ish is my dream goal for now.

Well I would recommend a more permanent better solution to fuel management now rather than later.

[wannaB!]

but with the stand alone, someone needs to tune it right???

[Monooxide]

With any kind of fuel management it needs to be tuned, by you or by a shop. Everything should be tunable by the user except for an HKS F-Con.

However...a ROM tune sent via mail is tuned offsite and then sent to you.

This doesnt mean its right the first try, so you may have to mail and remail it to get it right.

you will see 240-280rwhp if you get camshafts, the s15 injectors are good for 300rwhp MAX'd out.
