I gave him the benefit of the doubt as I believe Nissan also had a version of the SR20 motor for the FWD Sentra...

Either way nobody would waste time on an SR20 when could've had 2J's and RB's back then lol

I'm sitting over here like, how does a RWD built motor work at all in those FWD Civics?

"2JZ no shit!"

Why is he surprised to see a 2JZ in a Mark IV Supra?

I was just wondering what I could do for the best bang per buck with my price range. I am pretty handy, so if given instructions I could install some things my self (Can't tune to save my life though). I was considering the Nitrous Express 15lb kit, seems simple enough to install, but that is my last resort. Just wondering what you guys around this forum think I could do for around 1k to give my car some more power (Or a lot more if possible )....

Also please forgive me if I posted in the wrong place, let me know where to put this and I'll put it there instead! Thank you in advance!

Openflash tablet, Openflash header, and perrin catback. K&N drop in filter.

dont listen to anyone who says anything other than tires and trac ktime/instruction. i promise you cant put the 200 hp the car has to use so what do you need more for? this car is as ready out of the box as any car i have ever spent significant time behind the wheel of.

I just got my Open Flash Tablet Today, The Torque dip is basically all gone! I like the car so much better now! Going to hold off on the header until the backorders turn into in stock or I find a different header that people like as much. But I do not regret getting the OFT at all! Thank you so much guys!!!!

Here is another option for an E85 tune with EcuTeK and literally no other performance parts. Not even wheels or tires and this is what is possible.

Dyno Jet E85 Tune Only (even stock air filter).


Quarter Mile Times: 14.35 (have faster slips going up soon)


For more info on what our tune and what it has accomplished: Click Here

For under a $1000 spent on your vehicle you can be at 200 whp and 14.3 quarter mile times and still have a few bucks to spare for E85.
