the only downside to Nistune is that it doesn't have any "real" inputs for engine protection such as wideband feedback for lean out, or pressure switch inputs for low fuel pressure and/or low oil pressure

Other than that, it's 1000000000x light years ahead of PowerFC

Has engine protection ever actually "protected" a engine from failure though?
Referring to adaptronic/haltech and such.

My thoughts would be....it would be to late anyway...maybe it could stop "major" damage but at that point...you should know already lol
I guess it depends on the point of "failure"

Fyi, im at about 440hp atw with z32 afm
Pretty sure it can do over 500hp with a correct afm

Yes. I have seen video of an RB30 with a Link cutting the power when the oil pressure gets too low and no, the car did not spin out and crash in a ball of fire.

yeah ive seen many cases where engine protection has stopped or at lest reduced damage to engines.. if your paying top dollar for an ecu youve probably got alot of cash sunk into your engine too.. it wouldn't be used if it didn't work. theoretically

also my nistune has been flawless..even with the flex tune..definitely recommend

Whats the max hp the Nistune type 4 can handle. Is it suitable for a 30 25 neo with gtx3582r freddy plenum 1000cc injector hpx1 airflow meter.

Will it be up to the task

made over 600rwkw, airflow meter is the key, if you can measure the air your good to go. The new HPX in a 4" tube will go 1200 plus hp

Would you be able to tell me how? Either through this thread or PM? I cannot find it in the settings.

Pretty much two options from my personal experience.

1. Set the AFM to Z32 and click on half value (if running 2) and adjust k value till your car hits stoich with o2 feedback disabled

2. Leave as is and adjust the k constant till you hit stoich on idle with the O2 feedback flag disabled

The beauty of the Nismo or Z32 etc. Is that the curve is nearly stock so there's no fancy calibration need like the HPX afm which I've yet to use.

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
