AirXtreme

Hello All:
I now have my wifes car as my daily runner. I just put on a HKS Exhaust and an air intake. I NEED MORE POWER. I am looking to do a header, some suspension and rims and tires. Oh...... I did the Matrix front and rear strut tower braces.

It still needs to be a daily runner but a little more power would be nice to get from it.

The car is a 1998 200SX 1.6L .

If anyone would like to share some info with me please email me at airxtremehobbies@yahoo.com
Thank you
Anthony

call Mossy nissan and get the correct NGK platinum spark plugs ordered, then install them. increase your ignition timing to 12 degrees (but have to use a one-higher level octane gas). look at nissanperformancemagazine's project 1.6 200sx, mike young's car. do lots of reading there. lots of info. your question was pretty broad. do some research and see what works for you and your budget, etc.
what wheel size are you planning?

oh yeah, and if you want it to be more fun to drive,get a short throw shifter. i have a B & M from www.sr20development.com (?) and it works great! make sure if you do this have the Energy suspension bushings installed as well----this is important!

other ideas:

lightened flywheel , ie. JWT , gain a couple hp
UR pulleys, gain like 4 hp with this one.
stromung exhaust works best w/ your car, better than hks.
i heard nology wires doesn't really do anything for our cars. ignition should be fine. optima redtop batteries are reliable and good. do some research on that product.
with all the hp you'll be getting, might be a critical investment to get ES motor mounts to protect your transmission.
hope this helps. good luck.

Thanks 99Stealthy for the info ........ NGK platnums done......12 degree timing advance done but the engine sounded better with 10 degrees....... I want to do a header but every where I look the 1998 year is omitted. Up to 1997 and again in 1999... strange. I am looking to get some underdrive pullies... I haven't heard of the ones you mentioned but will look into them. Any suggestions on the Header?

Thanks for the help
Anthony

for the pulleys, do a search for unorthodox racing underdrive pulleys, get the ultra ss ones. did you check out the project 1.6 20sx in the npm? for headers go with hotshot.
