Question Power Gains and parts...???

Hey,

I Have a 1998 N15 (Almera/Pulsar/Etc.) With the GA16DE Engine in it... I have fitted a K&N 57i Induction kit and a 100mm Stainless steel Backbox for the exhaust (because I couldn't find a full system!!!!). It's Currently running at 115BHP@6500RPM and 108ft@4500RPM

My question is, are there any ways of getting reasonable power gains from this engine for reasonable costs???

Also Over here in the UK there are not many performance parts available for this Engine/Chasis do you know of *ANY* companys either here in the UK or that would export parts to the UK????

My main worry is a new Clutch as i have had 2 standard nissan clutches and have killed them both very quickly (Even without much double clutching etc)

PLEASE HELP!!!!!

A new exhaust header, to remove restriction, and lightwieght pulleys would be your the best way to go for cheap.

Pacesetter (http://www.pacesetterexhaust.com) makes the header, (hotshot makes one too but ive heard complaints) and Unorthodox Racing (http://www.unorthodoxracing.com) makes the pulleys.

Piper makes cams for the SR20DE motor... try them, I think they are out of the UK. They may provide some cams for the GA, not 100% sure though. It's worth a shot.

Also, you can get a high-quality clutch from ACT ( http://www.advancedclutch.com/ ). Should run you about $350 from most places, possibly a little cheaper. It is worth it, ask anyone with one. If you kill this clutch, either you got a defective one OR you really kill clutches. They are top-notch.

There are a good number of performance parts for this motor now, just that not all of them are cheap. You get what you pay for!

<--------- 100th post! WHOO HOO!!!

Nice 'mera man!!!

I had the brief opportunity to see an N15 Almera a few months ago here in Tucson. How you ask? Easy... a number of Nissans from Mexico frequently visit Tucson. I've seen the Almera, the Tsuru (B13 Sentra), the Lucino (B14 200sx), and the X-Trail (I am guessing not the VET version, but still sweet!!!). My roommate had the chance to see a B15 Sunny at a carshow in Phoenix about a year ago. Makes me wonder why Nissan never brough the REAL cars over the the states. LOL

Broken or slow? It took me much longer than usual to dload the pic, and I'm on a highspeed T1 connection here at work. If it was just very slow, try it again... if it was broken, then I guess my post is irrelevant huh? HAHA Oh man... I'm so tired on Mondays.
