hey guys..

I have an S15 with Apexi Pod filter and heat sheilds and am getting a full exhaust system- front and dump pipes included obviosuly..

I was wondering if i need to tune my car or will the ecu adjust automatcially after i get my exhaust put on?

I've been ringing around and asking the same questions and have got varied responses.. N1 told me that no tuning is required, just bolt it on and drive off a the ecu will adjust.. another workshop told me as soon as u start asking for more power u need to tune the car..

I dont want to increase boost at all, but will the stock boost restrictor hold the extra 1 or 2 psi after the exhaust is put on?? or will i need a boost controller? i dont want my car spiking or anything.

I was considering to get an SAFC.. I dont want a POWER FC, although they are the best on the market, but in the future i wont be upgrading my turbo, or putting in bigger injectors etc so i think powerfc is abit much with the power figure i have in mind (abt 160rwkw).. however few ppl have told me SAFC is not worth it.. is this true?!? what should i do!!

One more question, if i rum abt 10psi with my exhaust on, do i need to upgrade my cooler to a front mount?? or will the stock cooler be sufficient enough in the long term??

thanks ALOT guys =)

I dont know much about the SR motors so i dont know if you will notice more or less of an increase but all i can say is that SAFCs are definetly not useless.

In regards to the cooler i think that your standard one should do the job ok.

Hope that helps

    • I haven’t taken them out of the cases yet    inside the box is this packaging which is pretty much like a massive blister pack 
    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
