I would go with the Sentra. The Mazda may be easier to get more horsepower out of but the Sentra is a more stable buildable motor and NISMO has many racing parts for it.

I'd rather be driving a 1960s chevy than my 92 Sentra. You're comparing 2 different things...cars/buildings and health. It's like asking, Isn't it weird that computers are soooo fast nowadays...but tortoises are so slow? Would going back to Black screened, green lettered computers make tortoises faster?

Usually the dealership wont make those kind of adjustments because they are not allowed to make any modification out of the factory specifications. Usually they don't have to adjust the computer, only change the O2 sensor(check out the ones from Bosch). I would recommend trying to ask the ones that sold you the air intake and headers and tell them about the problem or get a sports chips. What they usually do is re configure the computer to get the 100% of power  out of the engine.  Normally they are programmed to work in a 80%.

i think he means cars w/ both a automatic and a manual transmission, \n\nmy friends dad in japan had a mazda suv, that had a manual and a automatic transmission that you could choose between, (this was in 1998-2001 before tribute/escape

it depends on how good the engine is...generally the higher ps will consume more...but you cant use it as a rule of thumb

A tune up to start.Plugs,spark plug wires,7mm will do fine.I reccomend bosch platinum plugs or split fire.For a budget,as I am on also,a new air filter will do,I like K&N.A good low restrictive muffler and a 3 inch exhaust will be suffice.You may want to check into a chip if your vehicle has a computer.Stay away from nitrous,your bottom end will not hold.Run a good 89 octane.This will not only improve your power but will also help your fuel mileage.If you want to get wild tear out all the interior and gut the thing to lighten it.You may want to also look into aftermarket undersized pulleys.Your looking at around a grand still at that.You may want to consider a trade for a mid eighties mustang with the 302.You could build a beast with that.Gluck man.Power up....

Mazda Miata.  Its racing success in SCCA should solidify its position as your obvious choice.  It is an extremely underrated car and yet, it is the only one in your price range that is capable of autocross, track racing, and drifting while being a fairly newer car with less maintainence concerns.

well i think that the old model looks way way better than\nthe new one.that is a mosle car and the old look better discribes it. but if you want to by the new one anyway\nyou better do it fast, because they are going to stop productin. it was on the newspaper.

Honda is cheap, but will only take you so far, and its FWD.  Nissan's Z-series (I have a Z31 300ZX) is very fast and very cheap, and the 240sx is good car for engine swaps.  Toyota's best is either the supra or the MR2, the MR2 is very lightweight so it has an excellent power:weight ratio, but there is not much working room around the engine.  The mkIII supra's good but harder to find.  Go to www.ebaymotors.com and look at pictures and price to get a better idea.

of the two the 350Z. the are better cars. for drifting a light weigh Rear Wheel Drive car is what is preferd. Comon car are\n1.1989-1997 Nissan 240SX\n2. 1985-1986 Toyota Corolla *aka* AE86\n3. 1980-1995 Mazda Rx7\n\nthose are the most comon in my mind anything in a FR lay out would work. if u look in at Formula drift u see vipers drifting so sky is the limit. \n\nI personally would go for the 240 due to the cost of getting one Versus a very pricey 350Z

Why wouldn't you make an Tempo into a race car?...It's the perfect sleeper, and like it or not, I've seen quite a few made to race...\n\nDid you change the Onboard Diagnostic System?...Because it should be OBD-I...

looks like they run about $3,000. You'd probably be doing yourself a favor to put such an engine in something a little more worthwhile, say an Acura integra or a newer Honda Civic.

A 92 Integra is a good project car. Both the engine and transmission are pretty bullet-proof. However, depending on the nature of the turbo (size, boost pressure, ect...) you might not want it for a daily driver. As far as turbo kits go, there are many companies that make kits and all of the directions are included (in most cases) Either way, I tend to lean the direction of not modifying the car. The car is designed to run a certin way. If you change one thing, there are many other things that need to be tweeked to make the car run right. For instance, a turbo will increase combustion temperatures. You'll need a better radiator than stock. You'll be forcing in more air which makes more power, will a stock crankshaft be good enough? And how will you get the exhaust gases out of the combustion chamber? A stock exhaust cam won't do, you'll need bigger lobes on the exhaust cam. And these are just a few things.\n\nSo anyway, the Integra is a great car, just be aware that if you change something, other things need to change as well to keep everything running smoothly.

Scrap both ideas and get a cam, port the heads, and carburate it.  You'll see more results than fuel injection for a very reasonable price, a pre GenIII small block like yours is cheap to build up!

Mustang for sure.  easy to tweak.  whatever you get, throw in a nitrous kit in the trunk and you'll be flying like John Denver
