Ok question.

With the vq25det having an ecu that is in my opinion f#cking anoying as there is not many tuning opertunities with the standard ecu does the same happen in the vq35de's? Are their ecus the same as the 25"s where it will throw into limp mode if it doesnt like something. Reason for my question is im weighting up pulling out the 25 and replacing with a 30/35. let me know your thoughts or experience.

The VQ30det is crap as there is no variable cams, you will really notice the soggy response compared to the 2.5 or the 3.5.

Best would be a built VQ35 which would set you back a bit but the parts are available at least.

Or if you want a stock motor to drop in, leave the VQ25det, its the strongest of the bunch if you plan to mod.

With all these options you will have the same ecu issues. There is plenty of work happening on the ecu side and hopefully one day there will be an aftermarket plugin option but until then whats wrong with the Emanage Ultimate? I will try to do a wiring chart when I rip mine out for those of you that cant make it down to Melbourne if you like, that way you only need to find a competant tuner to tweak the map.

ECU is different. More like 350Z/R35

But problem is, you have to make it talk to the transmission as well.

Its been said. Just buy one if thats what you want. Money wise, it just doesn't make sense doing a conversion. (although I am aware that the same thing could be said about mewhistling.gif)

    • Thanks. We getting some parts along too so he will be solving the speed issue like next week so i will let you know what he came up with.   
    • 21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.
    • Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.
    • Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
    • @Rusty NutshI mate. Do you have a pinout diagram for the na neo auto ecu?
