Hmm nissan sentre USER list, i USE one quite often so i do i qualify as member?

Dropping by to say hi

Just some BG info of nissan car

Year 199X 1.6L Nissan car (quite old)..
Probably using QG16DE engine
Auto Transmission

Performance quite good on flat road(decent) but suffers much when going uphill
Sucks at speedbumps must go very very slow ... >.<

Ah thanks, btw checked the manual today and it was the N16 series
so should be QG16DE engine but no so sure look like this

-118 hp / 6000 rpm and 143 nm / 4400 rpm- dipetik wikipedia

me not so much mod enthusiast because and don't understand 4-2-1 sounds like football formation
SAFC?
super acceleration Fuel Consumption



Not much problem la because i like bringing it around 2k rpm for city driving so feel it kinda weak for going uphill.. Enough for 80kph on FLAT road
Probably a mentality issue because 2.5-3k is has significantly higher noise but no acceleration feel (again expecting too much from a 1.6 )
Everything default, no big issues so far so good

Like Top Gear Says Get BMW M3 better FC then hybrid Toyota Prius

* Hybrid vs. petrol - fuel economy part 2: Clarkson then held a race between a petrol BMW M3 and Toyota Prius to see if hybrid cars really are more economical than petrol. Series Eleven, Episode One

Nissan N16 Torque curve, drive at 2.8k rpm is good but between 3.2-4k got torque gap
3k rpm 120kph no problem (not trying to burn $$ petrol here)

thanks for the advice, but would it really result in a substantial increase in power? for the cost...

Btw, it's my parents car(student) so need their agreement first b4 can do anything to it. Thus need good justification for the cost

Boring out, that sounds..
a. dangerous (well maybe mechanic do it wont be problem)
b. expensive (drilling piston shaft, change pistons?)
c. lower engine life..

-other thing, would it mean higher cc.. need declare with jpj bla bla more road tax cost

I'm noob in car tune/mod so please bear with me

THANG QIU lot lot101

PS: to be frank, just inquiring most of this due to curiousity. RM Y00 exhaust for x hp? well people's opinion differ..

Not planning on modding, just wanting to know more info about my car and perhaps pick up some knowledge about modding while on the way~

Cheers

Agree with you
