sorry to re open this old thread but my question is related.

I have been calling supplier and have been told nistune is limited to 480bhp by one, is that true?

 

my car is r34 gtt

Ha!

Rubbish, who told you that?

^This!!!!

Who told you that?  Or, more to the point, did you misunderstand what they told you?  The ECU does not have a HP limit.  The AFM does, and any AFM you upgrade to will also have a max amount of air (and therefore power) that it can handle.  Fuel injectors ditto.  Turbo ditto, fuel pump ditto, intercooler ditto (although a bit more blurry, not so much of a hard limit), etc etc.

Askd few times as i suspected he meant the z32 afm but he said the software and z32 hence why i am asking

 

anyway, how are you finding nistune? Would you have invested in link g4?

 

it has quite few features but not sure if i would ever use it

 

does nistune provide an option of protecting engine from blowing up by reducing boost or limit rev if hot?

 

i think something like link does

Software + Z32 = Z32.

But no-one in their right mind would use a Z32 AFM these days.  That's so f**ken' 2010.  R35 GTR type blade AFMs are 10x better.

Nistune is great.  The engine protections available are limited to what is present in the factory ECU, so, no, none of the more esoteric things you can do with aftermarket ECUs are possible.  But then it's horses for courses isn't it?  If it's a street car, then you don't really need that stuff.  If it's a hack drifter (and let's face it, all drift cars are hacks) then there's no sheep stations at risk and you also don't need it.  If you're racing for serious, then you should probably be using an aftermarket ECU anyway, even if the Nistune would be perfectly capable of running the engine to the same output.

i won't comment on Link ECUs as a choice.  If I was paying for an ECU, I think I'd pay proper money and buy a proper ECU.

Buy a HPX sensor, install it on the side, post IC

Nistune does some "basic" engine protection such as retard timing on knock and setting a rev limiter when your water temp exceeds whatever temperature.

There's a new release for boost duty cycle based on flex percentage.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
