TUNING THE NISSAN SR20DET (RNN14)

This Nissan SR20DET RNN14 GTiR was fitted with a FCTuningNistune ECU solution to make the most of its turbocharged four-wheel-drive platform.

The engine was running slightly smoky during the session, but with a hybrid turbo on the way, the owner was not concerned about running some boost in the meantime. The stock turbo still had plenty left to give.

Despite the engine condition, the results from the custom tune were impressive. The GTiR gained 85 horsepower and 87 ft-lbs of torque over the factory figure of 220hp. A strong result from a Nissan Pulsar that is already known for being a capable performance car in stock form.

With the hybrid turbo fitted and a fresh remap to follow, the potential from this GTiR will be considerable. We look forward to seeing it back.
