therefore, what is the advantage in Nistune over a normal remap, and is there a way to get a multi function display to show engine vitals, boost pressure etc.

that u can change the maps etc without burning/replacing chips, opening the ecu, etc. not so much of an advantage if you only get it tuned once, but for retuning later and whatever, definitely easier.

it retains the consult port like other daughterboard/remap setups do (as opposed to replacement ecu like powerfc/microtech/etc which lose consult port), so any consult devices/displays should still work as normal.

Yep, and the other reason i went with a NisTune was that it can be tuned by a number of workshops who have software.

Cool, I'm looking at a Nistune board or a remap when I get rid of the Microtech, but still wanted to have a display with readouts instead of having to buy several gauges.

You still only get whatever the ECU reads from the factory. i.e. if you wanted a boost gauge on the screen, not going to happen.

    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
