Did you end up getting it? Mine didnt have a limiter, had alot more timing in the top end, far better fuel mixtures, sharper midrange (change in vct?), and was alot happier over 6000rpm, seemed to work really well with my cams.

I've actually still got it, but for some reason it's dropped cyl 1, cant see anywhere inside it where anything may have happened and the plug is fine, would anyone know if the chip can be transplanted into another ecu and who can do it?

Na didn't end up getting it, I read in another thread that the turbo version of the chip could cause detonation because they are meant to run on 104ron, so I didn't want to risk it. There are more for sale I think, so ill have a look into it.

Detonation is less of an issue on an N/A engine, and i always found i could increase the ignition timing ALOT and never had detonation issues with stock compression. If your engine was to have detonation issues, you could always just wind the base ignition timing backwards, making the ignition map on the ecu the same just less a few degrees accross the whole range, which is all you need when running lower quality fuel. Alternatively you could get some colder spark plugs, etc.

The threads you are talking about would be for the turbo version, and i bet the users werent on stock boost, so it would have been a case of not being worth the drop in boost vs power increase from the more ignition timing etc, since you cant up the airflow of an N/A engine, i doubt you would have any issue (esp considering N/A's have alot of legroom as far as extra ign timing is concerned, whne stock).

Alright so basically plug and play, and if I'm concerned about detonation, wind the ignition timing backwards, cheers. Ill have a look around for another one.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
