No that's the rub I'd have to buy it , there are a lot cheaper ones around so ill have to look into it, but those tune results I posted the other day were my car with a programable ecu an a tune, that's all that's missing from getting into the 280rwkw range, but he said 230-240 would be safe as houses to run with the current running gear already there.

Daryl it really depends on what you want out of it.
Best bang for buck is going to be the nistune.

I honestly think you need to sit down and work out exactly what your plan is.

Otherwise you are going to have all these mismatched parts and no idea of what you actually want.

Set yourself a goal and then research how to get there.

Are you looking to get to that power goal the easy and cheap way or the safer and more expensive way.

I made the mistake of focusing purely on power and neglecting handling, braking and general maintenance.

This left me with a 250kw car that feels like shit to drive these days.

Parts need to talk with each other or else they're just junk in the trunk huehue.

I suggest talking with someone (with knowledge) and aim for a power outlet - If you're wanting 300kW then ask a specialist on what supporting mods you need to get that.

Figure out what you want in the end game and work towards it - it's not a cheap journey.

cheers

Just got hold of the guy that did up the car, he spent 13000$ on it

It has an adjustable arm on the antenuator to a just boost so a just nut back toward cabin lower , towards front end higher boost , he had it tuned with the stock ecu with the tune stats I posted an has a 12.5 quarter mile printout ,

2 cowboys owned it between him to me, in a 5 month space of time , turbo is high flowed an will handle 18psi but he only ever had it at 11.

so if they didn't mess up to much in that 5 month gap , I'm on a good thing

Nitrous?

Blanked off hole in the crossover pipe would be a sign of nitrous use.

That can flog the crap out of a motor, especially if the timing isnt retarded at least 5 degrees.

Might have got number wrong but he knew everything, he sold it for 7.5 then 2 goon had it in a 5 month period before me.

But from what ultimate told me yesterday it's all there to put down real power. ?

    • Actually, that's not entirely true. It's also the same motor in the 1st gen Nissan Cube but they're rare as hen's teeth.  
    • Yeah it is always worth testing and balancing actuators out of the box, just set the pressure regulator on a compressor very low (eg 5 psi) and increase it slowly to see when they both move.....unfortunately while you may be able to adjust the length of the actuator rod to minimise any difference, the actual pressure they move from is not adjustable so you need a well matched pair. And yes, the VCAM is probably contributing; the earlier in the rev range they come on boost and the slower the revs build (I think your demo was in 5th), the more you notice it.  Driving at WOT through 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc you will probably never hear it as any shuffling starts and is over super quickly
    • oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)
    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
