yeh funny you said that, the NISMO sticker came off today! lol

sorta got sick of it lol

might spray the cooler black but i think i like the look of it, might leave it as it. The cooler piping is black, not that you can see it behind the bumper anyway!

never really envisioned it to be a sleeper, but just the way things have turned out, it actually is. Thinking ill paint the mud guards back to black too, they're a bit "look at me".

Anymore suggestions for exterior/appearance mods?

ok time to talk power....

i know its a bit ambiguous, cos not many of you know much about the QR motor, but how much do you rekon ill make?

from the Sentra owners in the US (same motor) they usually make 300whp from 10psi, only tuned with an SAFC.

info:

2.5L 4cyl QR25DE

6800 rev limit

stock cams, stock motor

325hp T3 turbo

7psi

3" exhaust

EMS stinger standalone engine management

98 octane

I'm gonna call 260whp.

Edited by turbo x-trail

when its tuned, yes...

but atm, i cant drive it in boost so itd be a pretty gay/boring video!

ill do a video of a big pull, itll be tuned this time next week so ill post one up...

i cant get one of the dyno tuning cos i wont be there with it :blink:

but ill prob get another dyno run, just so ive got a video of it :D

Anymore suggestions for exterior/appearance mods?

Agree paint the guards black :) maybe super dark window tint on everything except the drivers and passenger side windows... I would have gone with black silicone hose in the engine bay too but thats just me...

Nice job, and hanging to see dyno figures.

Edited by MintR33

Get rid of the red on the mud flaps, 5%-18% window tint, tint the side indicators or get clear ones, black silicon hoses in the engine bay, and ceramic coat the down pipe. It'll look smick! Better then it does now, it thats possible! Lol

been thinking about wheels lately...

tyres arent a problem, i know i want at least 235mm width, and no smaller profile than 40%.

thinking along the lines of 18"s, but need some input on what sorta style wheels to go for...

im really confused, maybe some volk TE37 copies/drifteks/nismo LM GT4. something with large spokes and a fair bit of surface area, simplicity is the call for my car. 5/6 spokes max, no fiddly shit

definitely in black though. i think black suits the look of my car, and id like a bit of dish too, but nothing huge...

anyone got any ideas? (pref. with pics)...

thanks.

yeh its hard to pick wheels for my car.

hes a red example of drifteks on an x-trail...

looks good but i think they would suit soooooo much better if it was lowered.

when the turbo kits done, ill invest in some TE37s or drifteks at the same time as my coilovers.

then ill slam it with the wheels = win (i think anyway...)

Update: Got a call from Hyperdrive today, apparently the EMS is out of date and needs to be sent to the eastern states for a software update.

But before they figured this out, Andrew said they had full ignition signal (which is what I was worried about), plus a working Stinger, but still needed the new software. So it proves you can use a Stinger on an X-Trail! :)

Gonna push the tuning back a few days, once the EMS gets back, its just a case of chucking it on the dyno and tuning it!

Lower, paint flaps and then finish with the new wheels. Should look great.

I have to say this is probably my favorite project on the site and i cant wait to see how much power it puts out.

My only worry being the handling, since my dad owned a 2003 (i think) x-trail, and haven driven it a fair bit, it really cant go around corners. To high and to much roll.

    • Give it 40psi and send it to the moon
    • I suspect 550s are on the large side for happy operation with a stock/Nistune RB20 ECU. The Hitachi ECU doesn't love short pulse width operation, and the RB20 doesn't need much fuel at idle. Big injectors can be unpleasant. This could be contributing.
    • Yeah, I still don't know why the idle speed control can't catch the falling RPMs. In the Consult logs I see the AAC duty cycle rising, but suddenly it goes lean and the engine stalls. Anyways, the relevance here is the DW 550cc injectors are probably the same. So if OP has similar issues I would be tempted to finger those injectors as problematic for whatever reason vs the ECU failing for some reason.
    • Yeah, sort of blurring two different things together, aren't we? I just meant O2 feedback closed loop. I used to have a 0-1V LCD meter on my dash, wired directly to the O2 sensor signal. So you could easily see what it was doing. Normal running it would flick back and forth nicely. Slow down to an idle and it would keep flicking, as the ECU tried to servo to maintain stoich, but it would slow down as each swing happened until it would stay at one end of the scale. As I said above, the sensor heater is not enough to keep it hot enough when there is also little heat in the exhaust flow. Give it a blip and it would start swinging again, then peter out again. Meanwhile, idle speed control would run just fine, because unrelated.
    • It's not even O2 feedback, it's just simply when the ECU sees the closed TPS signal for whatever reason the idle will start steadily dropping until the engine dies. With the TPS adjusted to not trigger closed TPS it will idle at some ridiculously high RPM and something like 6 degrees of timing. In the absence of getting eyes on it personally and a lot of quality time doing diagnostics I couldn't tell you what the real problem was but it was interesting nonetheless
