Nissan 200SX Tuning

There are many ways to improve your Nissan 200SX performance; one is through tuning. Engine tuning is modifying or designing the internal combustion engine so as to improve performance, both in power output and economy. Most car owners are interested in achieving more power output rather than economy. The former is achieved by putting in more fuel and air mixture. Fuel with higher energy content is used and it is burned rapidly for more efficient power output.

Some of the ways to tune the engine well are: increasing engine displacement through increasing the diameter of cylinders and pistons or using crankshaft with longer stroke; making use of bigger or more carburetors; using larger valves, larger and smoother intake and exhaust manifold, low back pressure mufflers; optimizing valve timing; raising compression ratio; installing turbocharger; and changing tuning characteristics electronically by modifying the firmware of the engine management system. Power tuning is also done by improving air induction, maximizing combustion, increasing exhaust rate, lightening the flywheel, improving the clutch system and using fuel additives.
