heehehe... this is really making me laugh... I can't believe... ;D

Ok, seriously, even in the Noobs safety zone your gonna need to be more specific than that lad.

I think you probably mean any information but even that would be rather too general. Information abounds, this being the internet and all, but for people here to tell you what you want to know, we'll need to know what you need to know. Are you having problems with the engine and want to fix it? Or do you want to modify it? If you want to modify it, what kind of outcome are you hopeing for? A bit more power? A lot? Ride, handling, style, sound etc?

I hope this will clarify the 'blank looks' people are giving.

I'm guessing the poor guy is talking about modifications that he can make to his ve-hicle.

My God you got of lightly young sir, it is more common to be flogged fairly heavily than the polite response you received.
Have a look at the thread you have been pointed to and then do some more general reading on the site.
Some of the topics on performance may not be directly aimed at your vehicle but the advice can usually be be applied in some way.
You may also see some topics which will will give you the ability to ask some more informed questions.
The more intelligent your question the more intelligent the answer will be.
And good luck with the mighty Stanza.

Like I said I apologize for my "general" question I wouldn't really call this a safety zone more of a ask a dumb question receive a dumb answer, but it's all good. I appreciate some of the tips.

They will work fine on the US U12 stanza ECU.

go for the chip mate, they're decent bang for buck.

I have another question I have a buddy who has a nissan truck with same engine as my car and he put a 240sx intake on his truck I was wondering if this would also work on my stanza the only thing that would really prevent it would be the oxygen sensor I think, and most of them come with the little thing where it fits in so could anyone tell me?

I think you'll find the intake from a 240sx faces the wrong way for our FWD cars (assuming you mean the manifold).

Cam would be good upgrade, and with headers and 2.5" system you would be running sweet... 3" if you can handle the noise.  Get a chip before you do cams though.

Don't know about 3". NA engines need some back pressure to get optimum performance. I thought 3" was really only for turbo.

that was my thought too, ive heard 3'  may even cause a drop in performance because of the lack of back pressure (not entirley sure how true this is) i opted for 2.25' but others ahve gone with 2.5'. there have been previous threads which have discussed exhaust sizes...

KA's in general have been known to get best gains using 3"

SSS and a few others were saying this years ago.. heh

Just got my short ram intake on, I think the way I did it was pretty easy, My grandfather is a metal foreman so I got him to cut the wings off of the Mass air flow and that made it have to male ends, I fit the pod straight on the new side and the intake pipe to the other side works perfectly.
