Basically, you don't.

Of course it is possible to get 10% more out of an NA car, but it is an expensive path. From there for sure you can get 50% if you go nuts with cams, headwork, capacity for....very expensive.

Or you put a turbo on it an run 50% more for the same ballpark cost as the 10% more NA mods.

If your a young fella on your P's, I'd say the sensible option is to upgrade other areas of the car, tyres, suspension, brakes etc.... And if your interested, start doing track days and improving as a driver. 

Once off your P's, its engine swap time (or turbo time, gearbox upgrade time, etc). 

Probably not what you wanted to hear though, sorry. 

Umm but to answer your question, your only option that makes sense is to add spray. Not a very sensible option, one of those if you have to ask, its probably not for you.

If I was to try fit a turbo kit on it would it be worth it, could the NA engine block be able to handle it and is it an affordable ish option?

 

I wouldn't be worried about the engine, I'd be concerned for your gearbox.

No turbo? 

well

Stroker crank, pistons rods, head work, high comp, valve spring retainer cams, os88 run it on nitro methane, get roll bar, get it teched run a chute and skinnies on the front wheels, obligatory green neon under the car

You'll still get chopped by a toothless crackhead with a catless stg1 barra xr6 at the lights but at least you never put a turbo on it

In all seriousness as someone above mentioned, barrage it with a ZF8hp when funds allow, it will be more fun and cheaper in the long run

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
