You have an NA. You won't be making it much faster unless you're ready to drop a serious amount of cash.

Let me recall... NISMO cams, ported/polished heads, Pathfinder upper intake, 240SX throttle body, K&N cone air filter, MSA headers, 2.5" mandrel bent exhaust (from headers back), all non-essential drive belts removed, e-fan, fresh tune up w/timing advanced, and premium gasoline.

All I managed to accomplish was to move the engine's advertised HP from the flywheel to the drive wheels.

The Dyno Results


The N/A Engine

cold hard evidence that upgrading the NA is a waste of time. I've made this post into a sticky.

With a vein pressure converter or an aftermarket fuel control system. Neither are cheap. And why do you want to bypass it???
