u got a GA16........u gotta be more specific with these type of questions...u gotta set goals, whether u wanna go N/A or F/I and u gotta set goals as to what u wanna do....suspension, performance, looks, and what ur gonna try to achieve (run 11's etc.) go with a CAI, that should be the first mod, then Header, and then Exhaust....help the car breathe easier....if ur gonna go turbo....just save up the money because u wont be able to use any of those parts, except the exhaust which will still be the wrong size...
yea...first thing yyou should do is search for the keywords "200sx, ga16, performance" and so on..that will help you alot...and how do you not know if its an se or se-r? ( or base)? how did you get the car?

go to nissanperformancemag.com and see what kind of products they carry....some anyways...then you can go to google and see what kind of other shit they sell for your car...that is, if youve already searched here...

If you want to increase the power of the car, you should also improve both the suspension and the brakes so that the chassis can handle the increased power safely. I have always done the brakes and suspension before doing power modifications on a car. You'll be surprised how much more fun it is to drive your car with the stock engine and brake and suspension upgrades.
Dammit, clicked the wrong button and deleted my post.
Anyway.
He asked what mods he should do performance-wise. DE-T swap is pretty much the way to go if you want power.
well, i think its fair to say that it would be easy if all he has to do is write a check....(NOT saying the swap is cheap however)...
its a pretty difficult install from what i hear, and since you said it was the EASIEST way to make power, i had to say something...the EASIEST way to make power would be to put on the HOTSHOT turbo kit...assuming he had that kinda money

Well, we've got no price range to work with. I'm just working with the information given to me. Dollar-for-dollar, the easiest, quickest, most potential, and most gain you can get is to do the DET swap.

While it's not an EASY swap, per se, it isn't "hard" either. I know a number of people who have done the swaps in their garages. In fact, the DET swap is probably the second-easiest swap for a GA-powered Sentra/200SX - second only to the SR20DE. Considering it'll run nicely off a JWT ECU, it's really not crazy amounts of work, and it's certainly nothing exotic these days.

The amount of money and work it takes to get the Hotshot setup to perform like a DET far surpasses the investment needed to throw a Bluebird motor in. While I'm impressed with Mike Young's setup, at the level of boost he's running, I wonder about the long-term reliability. Simply put, the GA16DE was never designed to run at massive amounts of boost, whereas the DET was. With a DET you get nice goodies like factory oil squirters, not to mention a tried-and-true swap that's been proven to put out a ridiculous amount of power on only limited tuning.
