another sr16ve owner

more time.

Ive just discovered from the import clowns that the car will take a few more weeks than previously planned. :eek:

Ive also recently come to the decision that im going to leave the car completely standard to keep its value and true Nissan form.

at least for a couple of years anyway. at the most later on it will be just filter exhaust and ecu.

come on car. . .

:roll:
 
Hiya

Im a proud owner of a 98 sr16ve pulsar vzr 5dr. The car is actually still shipping over from Japan.

I wasn't sure whether they actually made the vzr n1 in a 5door or 4 door version. so i just bought a normal one as the mileage was just 36k. its black, in very good standard condition and I can't wait to put n1 parts in to it. how hard can it be to convert it to an n1? I like 175 bhp but i'd love 197 bhp or more.

I cannot sleep at night in the long wait. still have 4.5 weeks to wait.

At present Im driving a 97 1.6SLX Almera 4 door. its a lovely motor and i will miss it. (its beginning to get rust on the arches and sills :( ) My new car on the other hand has been kept in mint condition with no rust! im gonna do this auto glym thing where your paint work wont rust for 5 years.

i was thinking of the GTi which my m8 just bought. but in the uk they only have 3 door versions. I have a crying baby and family so it had to be at least 4 door. Ive had 2 4door almera's. one silver 2.0d that was imported from Japan and was a diesel Automatic which was rare and nice in the uk for the price. i saw another one for sale in vzr mode recently but had already bought my 5 door. 5 doors will be more practical what with prams and that.

Anyway, Glad to be on board.

get the N1 cams..
get a freak header from the states,
get some Light weight pullys
DE-cat
Cat back 3" exhaust
Get a remap with a piggy back dastek or e-manage ultimate.. as there are only a few people who do chips and non are close!

dont bother with the rest of the crap as its not needed..

youll get 200bhp..
 
All right I feel I should barge into this.
The vids you've seen are no more than 10K. Usually 9250rpm. You may seen the videos but you didn't notice the details, comments and description.

The is no N1 water/oil pump. They are the same with sr16ve.
There is N1 water pump pulley which is 1mm larger than the stock but it does not work on sr16ve pumps.
The stock water pump is very sufficient especially as the revving grows.
If you place the pulley it will make things worse. Your engine will hit up faster as long as it stays in low rpms.
Soon temperature grows it takes quite some time to drop again.

You don't need the thermo. The engines are meant to operate at ~80C and will not lower that.
To place a lower temp thermo you need to alter an ecu setting which tells the engine when it's warmed up and ready to operate at maximum performance. This setting is at 75C on all sr16ve ecus so until you reach that temp your engine will not perform the maximum and it will burn more fuel.

You can rev up to 8500 on a stock sr16ve with tuned ecu.

p.s None of the vvl engines produces the factory power claims. They are near to do so by ecu tuning.


I was to understand that the Autech SR20 also uses the 82C thermostat. I have currently replaced a low temp nismo one with the standard 76.5C thermostat after nissan supplied me with it using my VIN would what you say about the ecu sensing the temperature apply here?

/hijack

you will love the car, you wont be able to hold off years without modding ;)
 
To my knowledge Nismo makes only one thermo for the SR20. The 21200-RS520 rated at 62C.
There is a 68C nismo thermostat but that is for the VQ35DE.

If your autech had 82C standard then you are probably not ok. You should wait till fully warmed to make a fast run.
Fuel consumption would be bigger till you hit the 75C (sr16ve) or 65C (sr20) range of stock ecu.
If you can find your ecu part number maybe I could find more information regarding it. Vin might help also. PM me.



To Raceworx. Why do you advice the guy something you didn't try?
You may not like me, I can live with that.

Find the cheapest Ultimate on ebay add the shipping cost and realize that on that price range you could have your stock ecu fully tuned.
What does that mean? No wiring, no hassle, no trouble for you and proven results.
Imaging buying the ultimate, finding someone to wire it and try to tune it on a dyno.
I've seen so many threads of people asking advices how to tune the emanage.
Best practice is to dyno the car before and after any change.
You are free to prove me wrong.
By the way we are only 4-5 shipping days away that could get to 2-3 depending on cost.

Search for lonewolf posts regarding that marvelous header. He gained nothing!
I've had light weight pulley on my car and I removed it cause dyno proved no impact.
I feel safer on stock reving on high rpms.

dude who said i ddint like you?

i offerd hima dvice to hit 200BHP with ease and no messing.. i dont know which ECU company your refering to.. if you trying to sell a company product then atleast put the company and a link..

your in greece so that would mean this guy taking his ECU out sending it to greece waiting for you to fit a pre burned chip to it send it back and hope it fits and works/ customer service is abit of a hard thing to achieve..

i would be recomending horsham developments but they wont be able to chip the 16bit ECU so its pointless the only options we have over here in the uk is a piggy back..

i know lone wolf he did gain bits of power just not as much as he expected but he already had a very good header on his car..

the only option we have over here is the SSautochrome..

i offerd my advice you can offer yours im in no way implying your info is wrong or anything like that! im just trying to be realistic with what we have available to us here in the uk..
 
I'm really sorry but this is the feeling I get from you.

Do you know any car with these bits that got 200Bhp?
If you don't then better don't advice someone spend an enormous amount of money with the hope it may work.

What are your plans for your car?
What did I say to you? Best thing to do is have a tune and then save for a 2lt conversion.
Am I inexperienced? Maybe I am but I have spend a lot on tuning my car and tried at least 4 different dyno machines.
What I got? 175Bhp stock. 160bhp stock is a normal sr16ve. I know that in person cause i've seen results of people with tuned ecus.
Every engine is not the same with another and maybe it will correspond better on mods or not.

You don't need a local person to have a service. All of us buy stuff from other countries.
What do we search for? The best possible bargain.
Does calum have a company? Why do they trust him? Cause he makes a product that is good for what it is and it's proven to work. Is he a tuner? He claimed he isn't.

Who would you trust you car to? A person who never saw a VE before or someone who tunes them everyday for years long? Ask any real life professional tuner: I have the ability to fully tune my stock ecu, should I do it? or should I buy a piggy pack or standalone? It's known that these devices trying to fool the stock ecu by sending different signals but always the stock ecu is there to calculate things.

As far us, I'm an ethousiast only. I don't run a company. Bill does. He has proven his work over the years and has many satisfied customers local or foreigners. I just speak of personal experience and give you an alternative. I know the stuff works! It's not trial and error on basic setups cause there is vast experience on them. If you don't like it, it's ok.

just a question slim, you have orrdered a water pump with a bigger pulley sayin it will go faster, errr wouldnt it go slower? i cant remember which way round but if you put a bigger pulley on it then its gonna runs slower
 
well im sorry you think that dude.. seriously i dont mean to come accross like that i want a good talk about tuning options.. i want to get all the info available aswell.. all i did was offer what i would do living here in the uk..
 
Ian is a sound lad, and he's done his fair share of research, and I'm sure his intentions were just to chat to you about tuning options, no hidden agendas etc.
Joe
 
Well no hard feelings really. I just thought you knew all this cause it was discussed before.

I gave you another option and links to back it up. It's up to you now.
What I can promise is that your money will not get wasted.
 
better get those wooden sandals out of storage dude, my clutch is fixed now.

(almost) i'm going to be driving your car when we race anyhow !!
 
I have currently replaced a low temp nismo one with the standard 76.5C thermostat after nissan supplied me with it using my VIN would what you say about the ecu sensing the temperature apply here?

Sam dont worry about it. The engine will reach temp whatever stat you run. I dont run one at all, but get a constant 75* when pushing hard.... ( consult reading )
 
all parts ordered have been cancelled apart from a rear strut brace from a gti and a NISMO keyring Lol, that should get the horses whining. One enjoyment from this motor will also be to scare honda's mazda's, and toyota's to death.

now i will try to 4get the car is coming cos it will take forever at this rate. will post pics when it arrives.

untill then

I've given some info regarding tuning in this thread but I didn't add any facts.
So sorry to intervene again but I'm sure some people would like to see.

Stock VS Tuned
Run made the same day using emulators for the stock rom. Speed limiter was removed so that runs can be done in 4th gear. Completely stock engine with stock airbox and 60mm exhaust. The guy was using MSS with good setup. It was removed after tuning.
 
parts are here but still no car.

hi, parts have been arriving but am still waiting for the car. The rear strut brace from the GTi has arrived.there are no bolts or fixings with it :roll: also the rear numberplate surround from a black gti phase 2 has arrived. my nismo leather knob is here and so is my nismo ciggy lighter with a red LED in it.

the imports have a nasty long flat panel where the 3rd button and 4th button wannabe are on uk specs.
has anybody done anything with this space?. ive bought an A/C Thermometer which looks likes like a nice racing dial for this gap.

apart from that its pretty dire sat at work thinking of my car. i must have been sat on utube watching vz-r's gti's and gti turbos all last night.

C'mon Car:lol:
 
There's a coin holder in that space usually, sometimes they come with a blanking plate but I'm sure you could pick up the coin holder somewhere.
 
the coin holder sounds cool. i hope the cubby hole on the import is not like my last one. that was a tiny little thing. my current uk spec has a decent sized cubby hole. ive never seen a coin holder though, im gonna look for one but if i cant find one i'll just stick the thermometer on there. ive sprayed the thermometer trim black to match the paint work.
