Tuning the 160

[Bonka bear]

Hello all, right I'm going to be honest, I was given my Micra by my dad, my car broke, he let me borrow the Micra, then I had it for so long he said keep it. Now as much as it got me out of a tough spot, the car wasn't me, I ordered the 50mm lowering springs for it because it needed a spring for MOT and I thought why not, then my dad also bought me a replacement spring so I didn't fit the lowering springs, they'd been sat on my kitchen table for a few months until Monday, I was bored and thought sod it, may as well fit them.
What can I say, the car is transformed, handling wise and visually, now I've got the bug to do a few other things, cat back exhaust is easy enough but where is every other mod, considering this engine is widely used there is sod all aftermarket parts, what a shame.
I'm tired of googling, I can't find anything, after ideas please.

Cheers Kai

Cheers mate, been through your blog.
Do you believe the claims for that SM remap, 127 seems quite a bit when nobody else seems to be doing it?

With rear muffler, d.i.y air duct modification and K&N filter 119 ponies on engine...
I contacted to one UK company, they weren't too helpful. Maybe reason was lack of my Finglish skills...

Umagumma said he has 130 ponies on his, I would like to know secrets/cost to his modifications...

Have you ever come across any performance camshafts Mika?

From same engine Juke and Qashgai have higher ponypower and torque readings, might have something to do with camshafts?!
Found this: Nissan HR16DE Engine
This sentence is interesting, I didn't know this: This engine is the same as MR20DE, just the displacement is less.
So would 2.0l engine be 'almost' straight swap...?

Let's stop messing around, just go for the MR16DDT ?
