Nistune Ecu Options


stock stagea
 Share

Recommended Posts

The stock turbo could last another week, it could last another decade.

I would upgrade the turbo, the fuel pump, injectors and the afm but it's not my money.

In terms of what turbo, check the hypergear thread for a hiflow or other suitable bolt on option. For injectors and fuel pump speak to Scotty who you can find in the Stagea section. The only suggestion when it comes to turbos on a Stagea is not to get too greedy on sizing. Something that is more responsive on these heavy cars is the way to go IMO.

Thanks for the plug. :)

This is something I learnt the hard way. These barges are very lethargic off the line if you can't build boost on stall.

I also suffered a massive brain fade. MRC fit and tune Nistune in Castle Hill.....NOT I repeat NOT Hills Motorsports.

Mark can desolder the old board and resolder the new one, load in the correct base image and if you want they can tune it although I have never used them for tuning but I believe they are competent and reasonable.

Yeah, this. At the moment I am running a hypergear high flow on an otherwise stock ECU S1 stagea. I never timed a 0-100kmh with my stock turbo, but currently it does a realistic 0-100 in just under 10 seconds. Only just. That's with 9psi of boost, plus a shift kit.

The turbo is really only effective above 3k rpm, unless its a highway cruising situation where the turbo can build boost around 2.7k rpm. I leave the transmission in power mode.

You can order nistune with mods as a base map already catered for ! It's still a base map but it will run the car fine , just did one for a rs4s z32, 500cc injectors , and a hyper gear 3076 highflow , the just use a base image of those mods on there , and nistune do tune for r&d and some others as well , I know coz I tune with Pete ;)

Thanks, this was the understanding that I had, you give them a list of the mods and they create a base image for that so that you can drive it to the tuner of your own choice.

Nistune won't give you a base tune to suit your mods.

It will be exactly the same as stock once the Nistune board is installed.

Then the tuner can change the map to suit.

Nistune don't tune cars. They make and sell the hardware and software so cars can be tuned..

yep they do ben, pete gave me a base tune for 700cc injectors and 3076, started first go, cold start is good, i drove around on it for 2

weeks and didn't foul plugs, drove like stock and when we went to tune on the dyno it was all pretty sweet on light load stuff

Was pretty happy with thers service. I got my map of another tune they did with a few tweaks (they do tune), and they tuned mine

cheers

I make adjustments to get close settings where possible but some injector types and other variables will mean that AFRs may be out. Anything I put on as a base is just to get the vehicle to tuners without taking it on a tow truck!

From the base tunes I have seen you do a very good job of this. Great work Matt.

When are you starting on the VQ25det? :P

New plug in for 350Z. Tried a few times to upload an article without success. At the beginning it says VQ35DE only but further down it says suitable for n/a or forced induction engines. Don't know if it will be any good to M35 guys:

yes and no.

they gave me a base tune to drive to the tuner.

included 30% extra fuelling, bigger stock injectors, bigger stock fuel pump, bigger throttle body.... all installed on the nistune as stock parts, however, they where nissan parts, so it was easy for them to do.

they did not do anything to allow for the turbo however,

and for this privelage i paid the grand total of 850 dollars including tune. 1400 bucks for a nistune?! they are having your pants down man.

edit.

didnt read the second page, i see someone has brought this up.

my apologies.

    • Euros are shitboxes man. My next car going to be a Lexus or Hyundai.
    • Maybe I used the wrong sandwich plate as well. Used one piece instead of two piece.  
    • Y'know what, after reading a topic on a 360kw build using a nistune (who ended up going LINK), im now considering a LINK over a nistune. The engine protection alone would probably be worth it. And id like to learn to tune so would be nice to have that safe guard. Which means i probably wont need a boost controller then, or the R35 MAF.  Becoming a bit of a blog now but oh wells. As mentioned previously, the goal is around 300kw, for a daily driver. Will be looking at fitting a highflow turbo or similar (something that doesnt require downpipes, manifolds etc to be changed out) when the current stock gives out or the money for it is there. 
    • Thanks guys. Are you meant to tighten the converter bolts through the starter motor hole? Think my plate between gearbox and engine is one piece. Im heading up there tomorrow.
    • Picked my tailshaft up yesterday arv!! Test fit it and because they've gone to a ford centre bearing and CV I had to modify the mounting bracket a little bit. 5mm of each side and she went up into position and fits well. It has a 1350 uni and flange on the gearbox end so it should be plenty strong!  Got stuck in this morning and started on the wiring mess. Cut out all the wires not required that go to the body connector and cut the engine harness out. Need to go through and work out which ones I need to keep and rewire into the new ecu. Should save a small amount of weight as well. I'd love to get in and rip the dash and everything out to completely remove wiring but cbf.  Next up was the power harness for alternator, starter etc. It has a few connectors from factory that run out of it. Cut it all apart and removed what was no longer required and put some new corro and taped it all back up and bolted it all back into place.  After that I worked out where I can mount the new flex sensor. Found a couple of factory bolt holes and drilled a new hole on the bracket to suit. Need to go get a few fittings and adapters tomorrow so I can keep going.
