I'm putting a 2 cycle weed whacker motor in my Z... that's what true tuners do.

pffft, im putting a nitro powered .019 cubic inch park flyer motor in my Z, that should be more than enough power to..... too...... power the clock?
you didnt watch my video i inked up here did you? your so cosed minded biased and a conformist, let peope think for them selves you republican.

8.8:1 and a 3.9 rear vs 7.5:1 and a 3.54 rear
I'm saying, before that boost kicks in, you have so much less torque. Drivability in traffic is not as good. There is something nice about the instant response I had from my NA engine... and I had a good strong NA engine.

Oh and a SR in a S30 is badass, a lightweight powerful motor in a super lightweight car is all good, so what if its a 4 banger? BTW anyone saying the SR doesn't have torque obviously has not ridden in a SR powered car, and they actually can make good mileage. The S14 weighs about 2900lbs and I don't see the SR having any problems lugging that weight around.

They can be made to make crazy torque, but sacrifice driveability because they make that torque at the high end of the rpm range.

Lol, yeah the SR is a great motor and all no question about that, but the fuel injectors needed to support the huge hp will be so large that idle quality and low speed driveability will be decreased. A general rule of thumb I was told from JWT was that you can run an injector as large as one cylinder will displace and still have great idle and low speed driveability. Anything more and it will go down, especially when you have 720cc injectors or larger in a 4 cylinder. My friend's Lancer sucks nuts around town until he gets up to speed. The pintle can't be shut long enough to keep from running rich at low rpm. With his straight pipe and aftermarket cams, the HC's are bad enough to make your eyes water.

It largely depends on the minimum cycle rate on the injectors. If the minimum cycle rate is greater than the current fuel demand, it's going to run rich at that rpm. This is very common in high flow fuel injectors, which is why tuning for idle and low rpms is so difficult with them and why driveability around town usually suffers.
I'm curious what the brand and model 1000cc and 850cc injector's are that you're running?
I'd also be interested in a dyno plot of your torque curve.
