[dangerman]

i want to mod my clubsport up make it a bit quicker
what do u suggest ive heard
cam and chip
extractors and exhaust
what about a supercharger is it hard to install or cost much
any thoughts

[SST Steve]

An RB26DETT swap would do it.Sorry just joking, Chipmaster is the guy to see for your car if you want a blower or we can go better and fit Turbos to it.

Kerrys Automotive in Merriden .... :boink:

MWS is the place to go.

www.marksworkshop.com.au ADR approved blower kits.

Or you could go see Active automotive for 1 of their turbocharger kits 400rwhp on stock internals

All depends on your budget

Head/Cam combo's will get nice gains along with a Memcal

Or alternatively take a look at your diff gearing if you have an auto, largest acceleration mod you will notice. If its manual i think it comes with 3.45's anyway.
If its auto price up some 3.7's or 3.9's but try not to go over 4 or you'll lose driveability/economy.
Also maybe take a look at a good intake manifold (C.O.M.E or HARROP) tunnel ram styles with large throttle bodies. Then get a even lumpier cam and chip to suit those, with the diff gearing as well, it'll really start to move off the line.

+ injectors sorry

yeh get rid of the bunch of banana's manifold and put in a decent aftermarket item.

Advantage with your engine is that there are 1000's of parts for them and just as many articles about them

what do you have to spend? $$$???

so many options.
go this first if you dont have any mods:
extractors, full exhaust (maybe twin 2.5" mandrel) if not single 3" and some sort of air filter/cold air induction upgrade.

I found it cost me way more to make my old VL V8 go quicker than it did to make my slightly modded 180sx pull a low 13.. :)
I went down the wrong track.. did different mods first.. like in stages.. did stage 1 was fairly happy with exhaust etc.. cam upgrade and small high stall 2400rpms, and single 2.5" exhaust pulled around 160rwkw. Then stage 2 i went and bought some highly ported heads and bigger cam, new inlet manifold, new high stall of 3500rpms with new twin 2.5" mandrel system pulled around 200-220rwkw.
Pretty pleased I stopped at that and never went down the path of a full rebuild with 355-383 stroker etc..

Really i should of done the bigger mods 1st would of saved me a shitload, but then again maybe i should of saved for longer and bought the 180sx..

you need to have a good think 1st!!
