Did you just do all of these mods at once? It will take time for the PCM to learn how to react to them. Could take a couple hundred miles before that happens.

You did put that Fastman 50mm TB on there didn't you? The 50MM is too big for the 3.9 unless you've got serious mods. A stock V8 would have been betetr for your setup.

Lol nodded? Stupid iPhone. I typed modded and it kept
switching it to nodded. And
YES A V4 IN THE NISSAN!!!!
thing is fast for a little car, it's like a little
roach....an pretty much did all those mods
together in like 2 months. I'll hve her a couple more
miles to learn...

And I went with the 46mm fastman.
It should be perfect. Sigh....
I'm a put some Gibson headers on
last, if i don't get a big gain difference from
all these mods, I'm gonna have to quit on
my truck TEAR!!!!....

What you guys think though?
I mean turbo? Too much money...
And I've put all the miles on all the mods except
the rollers and my tb which I just installed not
too long ago at the same time...

Yes the legendary v4 Nissan versa 1.6L bob....sad man
just sad....dodge needs to improve on making
their cars faster when stock.

If 125 hp in a Versa can beat a Magnum V-6 which has stock 180 hp, you really did something wrong.

Hey bob, you mind helpin me out on that other post
about the knocking sounds on my engine,
they happened after I put my
roller rockers in there, and only
do it when I hit around 4,000 rpms.
1-3,000 is fine.

I've never done engine mods, so I'm not familiar with the Harland rockers. Did you change lifters with the job? Or valve springs? Maybe the stock valve springs don't work well with them?

You are modding the wrong motor if you want big gains and to go fast. The V6 is gutless and overall is a poor design to accept mods for high HP gains. Drop in a stock V8 and you will be much happier.

As for racing your friends Nissan...why even bother? Your truck and his car are relatively slow...
