Unpleasant Surprise - Spark Plugs

Go with 0.8 gap, trust me it makes a big difference.

Ok cool il gap them to 0.8mm then, thanks guys

sounds like you are running too rich when cold..

Out of interest how would i get my stock ca18det tuned for feuling? if i dont have a chip do they have to manualy fiddle with timings etc? and where would be the best place to get a 200sx tuned in Cape Town, i hear Dynotec in brackenfell are quite familiar with 200sx's, can anyone name some places?

Thanks

nothing that can be manually fiddled with (at least not in pro circles, if you go backyard there is lots of screw it up properly mods..)

which is why most go with a aftermarket ecu, so that the fuel/ignition mapping can be changed to suit on a dyno..

else have the stock ecu "chipped" (remapped by replacing the chip holding the maps ect) by someone that KNOWS what they are doing..

Dynotec is the place to do your tunning at.

Hear with rat on the forum, he sells chips I think. Dont know what quality is.

Get one of your buddys to drive your sx and you drive behide your buddy,tell him to floor it and do normal driving then look out for Black smoke=overfueling.
Blue smoke=valve stem seals.
White smoke=turbo seals.
Hope this helps, were in capetown you located?

Hi Kyle, ive had my friends drive behind me while i drove it hard and normally and they say they cant see anything, but i should have a look with one of them driving, i am located in the southern suburbs, where are you?
