Nistune Making My Gauges Weird

[lilcrash]

Hey everyone, since I have installed my nistune my temp guage sort of jumps from nothing up to 1/4 on the guage when it's warming up. And my front torque guage reads just above 0 on the guage cruising at 100, if I give it some throttle it will increase quite happily as the revs rise. Is this ecu right or was my old ecu right? Thanks for any info.

If your temp gauge is wired correctly the Nistune should make no difference. There are two sensors near your thermostat. There is one sender for your gauge in the dash and that is completely seperate from the ecu. The other sender goes to the ecu. I would have thought the torque gauge is also independant of the engine ecu but I don't know that for a fact. Maybe a battery or alternator problem?

It's probably not related was just a little concerned. The bad part is I have audible knock as early as 4000rpm .

So have you had the ecu tuned when it was installed or is the tune still to come?

It seems that the ecu hasn't been tuned but someone is still driving it.

[lilcrash]

No it's not tuned yet, just still chasing tuners.

And yes I'm driving it because it is my only car.

Have you had a read of this thread?

Just on reputation I would go with Guilt Toy's recommendation or else EFI but ideally you would talk to some happy customers first.

If you have audible knock at 4000 I would knock the timing back a bit, really baby the car and get a tune ASAP (and expect to pay $700 to $1000 for a top notch first tune - so best you have all your stuff installed and do it once)!

Yer I read that thread, personally I don't want a rwd tune, that's where my problem came from. Im yet to enquire at godzilla. I've got my injectors waiting just need to find a spare chunk of time when mr gts4 is available to update the ecu.

What do you mean by "rear wheel tune"?

It doesn't make any difference.

I know it doesn't matter, I'm just saying if I have to chose between a 2 wheel dyno and a 4 wheel dyne, both with a good reputation I will choose the 4wd dyno.
