tuning for nissan march 12SR

[sach]

hello

I wanna tune my Nissan March 12SR yr '03...on the exterior its ok since Autech has taken care of it, its the engine that i want to pimp up.Compared to stock Nissan March, the 12SR is a high-revving 1.2-liter four-cylinder engine tuned by Autech. The upgrade includes a set of high-compression pistons, hotter cams, a lighter flywheel, close-ratio five-speed gearbox and extensive chassis strengthening. For now am looking forward to change spark-plugs n its cable, add a new air filter n a compressor just to begin with...its about the air-filter that am not sure or to b precise which brand will suit my car best...simota or k&n??or any other which u find best...

Later modifications include going for sports suspensions, short-shift, brake-pads and tyres (i've already got a 15' alloy wheels set on but with Falken tyres which i dont like)......is the close ratio of the gear box enough or short-shift is needed??
counselling on the above is most welcome... hope to hear from u soon...cheerss

Hi there and a warm welcome to TorqueCars, good to have you with us.

We'd love to see some pics of your car, so when you get to 10 posts you can upload them.

A 1.2 engine does not have a lot to give in terms of how much you will be spending on it. I would advise against and induction kit and instead suggest a panel air filter, preferably made from Cotton gauze.

Don't forget the brakes as well. Personally I'd move up the suspension mods and leave the engine till last.

err bdw i translated it literally...here it is called 'compresseur' a french word... i dnt kno how it is called in english... it compresses air and sends it via a duct/pipe to the engine ( and no its not a turbo am talking about)... its made of metal, cynlindrical in shape (bottle shaped), about 15cm in length with a meter gauge attached to it...usually fixed in such a way that its base gains access to ample supply of air... i really dont know how it is called in English... yeah the actual spark-plugs need a change...are iridium-based spark plugs ok?? wot brake pads should i change for??

thanks :cheesy:
