200sx runnig reliable

Post by SonOfAnarchy ZA »

hey guys i just read a post about how a 200sx is less reliable the more you mod my question is weather this list off mods is likely to make my sx not run reliably

1. bigger inter cooler
2. full free flow exhaust
3. increasing my boost to 0.8bar(t25 turbo)

its not a big list but dont want to destroy my daily drive.

Any highly modded car comes with problems, obviously as you are getting the car to do things that it wasn't made for.

As for your mods as long as its done properly and mapped properly you wont have any issues unless there is an underlying issue that will just be worsened by running more boost/power (ie. worn rings, bores, bearing, etc, etc)
