I'd not recommend anyone just chip their S14,there are too many variances in them to make it "safe"

Remap the motronic to suit the car ,or Maxx alpha N/megasquirt it.

Thanks :D , In other words i should leave it as it is unless i want to spend 3 to -4 grand to make it properly"safe" . And by planting Shrick cams it wouldn't do much difference as far as i understand they come to play only in short range on high revs.
Thanks anyway :D

No mate, you need them live mapped with a wideband 02 sensor and the dyno to get them safely tuned for high Rpm

This should cost no more than £400 at any reputable specialists

many tuning companies offer a chip, but the s14 is not one I'd personally recommend be done this way.

Talk to Bexley motor works in Bexleyheath about your options, Nigel/Jags will be happy to discuss the first move with you
