How does my RARE S15 drivetrain compare to stock?! AUTECH Silvia

[@dyran]

I like how when Jimmy bought the pewter S15, the reasoning was 'I'll never have this chance again.' Fast forward, and he's proven himself wrong not just once, but twice. Huge come up.

[@bradt9244]

I'd love to see this with some upgraded valve springs and retainers ported head and a ported intake see how close you can get to 200hp and see if she'll rev a bit higher. Clean up the bay and just make it a good looking daily

[@DataC0llect0r]

It should have that stock right?

[@evancraig11]

@@DataC0llect0r naw, just upgraded cams

[@LapLandSystem]

...we were supposed to flip it, but we know how that always goes...

[@thenjmway]

200hp to the wheels can be done with these engines just I’ve had experience with these in improved production racing Itb’s, bigger CAMS and some head work with lighter forged pistons and rods It’s a hard fort 200hp to the wheels compared to the Honda guy’s but easier to achieve than the guys campaigning Toyota engines!

[@naeemdalwai3018]

have seen some high 200hp sr20s before cams do alot to these and also like most 4 cylinders higher revs work so well especially with the fuel available. Can remember when they used to have those touring car races also the primera would pull so hard down the back straights seen it gap a 320stw which was very close to 320hp if I am not mistaken

[@THELOWLYFEMEDIA]

Jimmy keep doing big things. I own a S-Chassis and a JZX100 so everything you’re doing is so awesome for me ❤️

[@Danielism]

Judging by that airfilter, i bet it could use some plugs aswell

[@jasonmackey161]

👍👍

[@cliffmoore6017]

i was going to say the same thing, if it had been run on cheap gas then those plugs are probably not in the best condition. gap could be a little off.

[@Sauerbrew777]

I love these types of videos! Finding and fixing all the little problems to optimize and engine setup is so rewarding! Like you said 20hp out of a NA 4cyl is pretty impressive!

[@171JUSTIN]

I always find these videos fascinating where he walks us through what all these changes correspond to on a Dyno.

[@333krook]

Same dude, some of my favorites. So interesting to learn about and it really shows how much knowledge is packed in that noggin of his

[@SilCoupe]

I actually have one of these waiting to go in my S14 when the KA finally pops (270k miles and counting) amazing little engines, they pep up even more with a good exhaust and intake. Good to see some real dyno numbers on them at the wheels. Can't wait to put mine in.

[@vtec8u606]

this dyno runs one of the best so far just because the fixes and improvements can prove alot to people

[@AverageJoeBuilds]

Jimmy out here with his own episode of engine masters, diagnostic mode engaging and all the little stuff slowly making like a 30-40hp jump almost from the first pull

[@timsminigarage]

These used to be really popular imports in Australia.. they were legal to drive for provisional license drivers (they banned turbos for inexperienced drivers) and they made the same 200hp as the locally delivered SR20DET Spec S/R (when stock)

[@BassManBobBassCovers]

Seeing the different graphs representing the different variables was really cool

[@JustinVerlander35]

Your content has been really good lately. Not gonna lie, I’ve been getting bored of you just buying cars and showing them off. It’s videos like this I really like. Having something problematic, diaging through it and showing results. And the fact that color is amazing. Great video, Jim.

[@240Trevor]

This is exactly what I wanted to see!

[@huskerdefense1985]

I want this car, an S15 is a dream for me. I would love to have a Jimmy Oakes car. Even though it's NA, I would leave it be and make it a daily for the summer months. Work on getting a turbo S15. Just love the S chassis

[@RichDasix]

Awesome video to see how much, dirty air filters can restrict power. And say what you want about these wheels, but it hits so hard with this perfect car/color combo. Slaps harder than any overpriced Blitz's would.

[@samcohen6488]

Really enjoy the tuning videos while still being watchable for those without much background knowledge

[@gonzalo4307]

6 grand for a bumper? I mean I know it is rare and all but an s15 wasn't much more worth than that 5 years ago in Japan, the market is crazy man

[@avidworkslol]

I would leave it wingless. It looks so good as-is.

[@josephskeie]

Dang that's the engine ruddy has in his sunny

[@Thegoreofitall]

Stevie I'd so read "the case of the missing 80 horsepower" to my son... I need this book Stevie!!

[@Bronkey469]

Jimmy please please PLEASE do an ASMR video of all of your cars! Itll probably have to wait until spring but your cars sound great and we only get to hear them on the road occasionally.

[@JoeySkidz]

Pretty impressive for an NA SR, would sound real rad with some ITBs, would be perfect for an old Datsun 510,620,1600

[@DirtyBond]

Please do this n/a engine up. Let’s see what you can get out of it PLEASE PLEASE PLEEEAAAASSE Jimmy !!!!

Check the plugs. Advancing the timing helped everywhere but up top.

New fuel filter might help even more

I know you said that you were going to flip it but you should def make that an NA track monster

[@jasonlouis5498]

I love your dyno videos. You explain everything really good. I’m feeling this S15 the way it is, it doesn’t look bad!

[@marcedwards2446]

Maybe change the oil and plugs, going off the air filter it hasn’t had a service for a while. Great content though keep it up love watching all you guys.

[@mndlessdrwer]

First thing I'd do upon receipt of a new import is new filters, new oil, new trans and diff fluid, and potentially new coolant. Check the battery, then check the ECU for any codes. I wouldn't want to hammer on a car by doing dyno pulls without at least checking the fluids and filters to make sure I'm not trying to pull sludge through the oil channels in the block.

[@jbarnhill50]

Jummy look into. Levpro slidding shelfs they have their rail-less space saver. It looks like book shelfs turned sideways and you can stack them and roll them side to side so you can separate your car parts from different cars. I have there system in my garage so worth the money. My cousin did a diy version out wood for alot cheapers

[@allspooledup2584]

Damn Jimmy! That s15 is so crazy looking. Don’t think I’ve seen that color in person. Looks amazing on camera

Keep on top of your maintenance Max clean air in Max fuel in Get the biggest spark you can Then expel all the left overs.... But be careful not too big an exhaust, you'll go backwards and loose power The proof is in the pudding!

[@MarvinOG93]

Was good the blue S15 is pretty dope

[@madmatt2024]

One thing I think you are forgetting about with advancing the timing on a car this new with a stock ECU is that it probably has a knock sensor. They are known to be so overly sensitive that you can actually gain power by unplugging or unbolting them on a stock setup. You should try unplugging/unbolting it when you add timing and see if you get better gains.

[@ctuckerize]

Never been into blue cars but that color is sooooo good

[@courtneybooysen6899]

Put on a velocity stack it will increase power and sound good. love the content keep up the good work.

[@pratt1bp]

If it were me I would throw a set of plugs gapped to performance spec, add a fresh fuel pump, filter & clean injectors then rerun it. There's more to this car if you spend the time on maintenance. The local boys are all saying this thing is still down about 15-20hp

[@christianvangg]

[@hondafan78]

If the cat is full of carbon deposit you should try Seafoam in the engine to break up some of that carbon deposit that's probably all over the valves and on top of the pistons. Most high-revving na cars build up a lot of carbon deposit. Best N/A Nissan motor is the SR20VE 200hp with NEO head.

[@JDMz]

Just giving it a genuine service will free up some ponies aswell. Like oil change, fuel filter. New plugs .

[@mndlessdrwer]

Eventually, you guys will end up with a shop like that, where the shop itself ownes a bunch of in-progress random JDM cars. The only problem is that the idea is you're supposed to get them fixed up and then sell them on. It's the last part that a lot of youtube car guys struggle with a lot. But, yeah, the R34 chassis is one that would be hard to lose money on. Same with the 4th gen Supra, or the FD RX-7. Then you've got the Silvia that people just absolutely love. There's a lot of JDM cars the people absolutely love and, thus, they hold value exceptionally well. If you get a RWD Corolla that you want to get more power in, consider the 1UZ-FE engine salvaged out of the Lexus SC400 or LS400. It's a very nice aluminum block V8. I'd say, for the Autech Silvia, if you wanted to do anything to it, I'd see either if anybody makes a decent centrifugal supercharger that you can run on that engine, or a teeny little quick-spooling low-boost turbo. Maybe one of the twin-scroll models to improve low-end performance but kinda choke out at really high RPMs? I don't think I'd want to risk ruining such an excellent JDM classic by going too far and nuking the engine. It's too sweet an engine for that.

[@Jtdedeaux]

You should do dyno testing on the k24 itb velocity stacks. Testing different lengths and shapes

[@Mr889236]

From my experience longer length velocity stacks give a bit more power over short ones
