Put it on a diet. Remove everything superfluous. Check out Franks blog and Ferritboy for some quality weight loss programs, stani's turbo too and there are plenty of others.

Then hang a hairdrier off the front of the engine and get some quality management running.

cheers bud what u mean by the hairdryer ?? i stripped all seats out yesterday but i may have to take glass out n replace with perspex i think .

Turbo is what he's thalking abot

hairdryer ? oh flyer :laugh:

dont even consider peoples negative attitudes its your project!!
how many people got the heart to do that run? not many i bet keep it up
inlet/outlet exhaust helps?
birthday? have a nice one

Orr save your money and just fit a GA16 engine they only cost £150 and then £200 to fit...........U instantly have 115HP sorted :blues:

102hp aint it fwn not a cheap 20 odd hp gain imo

and all that extra weight from the cast block. hardly seems worth it to me.

Excess weight is very bad my friend, those good people at nissan have over enginered these little rockets, every gram not needed must go!
Lightened flywheel is a good mod for better acceleration. Then concerntrate on inlet and outlet mods!
