Hey, how you guys doing? Im new to the thread so be easy...
I ve searched already so giving me the search option isnt going to help.
I need the info directly from the people that have done the swap.
these are all based on performance for the Sr20ve.
1. HOTSHOT Gen. 6 vs. Fuji.??? (performance wise only)
2. JWT ECU and Greddy MSS(no rev limiter)?
3. Intake??? HOTSHOT CAI?? Custom?(have no idea on what to do)
4. DE injectors?
5. NISMO FPR and WALBRO 255lhp??
6. FIDENZA FLYWHEEL?
7. JWT Clutch or ACT??
8. 2.75 in. or 3 in. exhaust?
9. DE distributor?
10. And last but not least......(really newbish quest. so sorry)
What in the world does MAF stand for??? Ive been looking and cant find it!

1. No one has dyno tested the two comparitively yet. I say Fuji
2. JWT or OEM VE for ECU, MSS or MSD switches are fine (I would do MSS)
3. I just made a custom one, ran stock rubber intake for quite a while no problem
4. Use VE inj
5. Sounds good
6. Sure
7. Whatever you prefer
8. 2.5 should be fine, 3 if you want loud
9. Yep
10. Mass Air Flow Sensor

1 if you can get a hot shot gen 6 go for it, if not fuji is good and many people use knock offs of the hot shot
2 jwt is a good idea
3 hot shot cai ! proven whp mod
4 ill let some one else answer that
5 ^
6 great upgrade ( i have the jwt light weight flywheel and it made a big diff0
7 either a mild set up would be good as your not gonna be making crazy torque ( i have act hdss set up great product contact greg v at mossy for 1)
8 most people run 3 inches
9 ill let some one else answer that
10 mass air flow

i dont have a ve powered car but the info i gave is info ive read on this forum

thanks for the info guys.... i think im going to go JWT ECU with MSS.HS CAI.HS gen.6 FIDENZA FLYWHEEL.JWT CLUTCH.3 inch back.
Also one more question if you guys dont mind. .....Anyone that has the N1 cams making good power? Can't decide whether to wait for JWT's or just go with N1's with JWT spring retainers? Also what exhaust do you guys recommend? Thanks for your replies...they are really helping me in my setup decision for the VE i hope to be purchasing.

Most people who do go with cams are just using the sr16 cams. No retainers or springs required, and you will net about 8 more whp. As for exhaust, if you are set on 3 inch (clearly dont mind the noise), then you get the 3'' VRS piping kit from www.vrsexhaust.com, you get the longest straight through perforated core magnaflow resonator you can fit under there, and you buy a large oval,straight-through dynomax/magnaflow muffler. You may choose to add a resonated tip if you wish (Pilot tips are cheap and all SS). Have a shop weld all of it together, should total around 450ish. Good luck.

Remember: the longer the muffler/resonator you use, the quieter it will be.

Edit: Apex'i N1 mufflers are also available with silencers, which are very effective at reducing the noise; however, they also cut back on flow substantially and cause you to lose power. These silencers are easily removable so screwing it in and out is no problem.

I have the N1 cams with JWT valve springs and titanium retainers, however the last time I dyno'ed my car I had 2.25in exhaust with a mild tune I made 189hp. I say mild tune because had I had more time I think I would have easily had more power.

Now I running 3in and waiting to go back to the dyno. Both exhaust systems I had were both Apex-i N1 and I think they just sound better. I have had no problems with them.
