Cheap Mods

I have a GA16 in my 93 sentra, anyone know any cheap engine mods that help your performance besides a CAI and exhaust?

The only other "cheap" one would be to advance your timing. Mine is set around 14-15 w/ 91 octane. Another somewhat cheap one would be a Pacesetter header. Although not the best, IMO, it is a bang for the buck deal. You save over $250+ compared to getting the Hotshot. And you still get a power increase.

Just to confirm, do Hotshow make a Header for the GA16DE?

I agree 100%...

So 14 -15 Degrees is best for the GA16 then?

I'm just trying to find as much info as possible for my guys over here in the UK.

There is no such thing as cheap upgrades. You get what you pay for.

what about those turbo stickers zeno? those couldn't be much more than a few dollars...i heard a nos one can give me 7hp if i am lucky.

You have to get the right type of stickers though. APC is only good for about 1-2 hp. However, something like a 'Powered by ____' is about 10hp. The ultimate performence is the time tested combo of Mugen, Type-R, and NOS, you've got a car in the 11s w/ those.

Hey Pulsar GTi, Hotshot does make headers for the GA16s. I got one.
