The stock turbo could last another week, it could last another decade.

I would upgrade the turbo, the fuel pump, injectors and the afm but it's not my money.

In terms of what turbo, check the hypergear thread for a hiflow or other suitable bolt on option. For injectors and fuel pump speak to Scotty who you can find in the Stagea section. The only suggestion when it comes to turbos on a Stagea is not to get too greedy on sizing. Something that is more responsive on these heavy cars is the way to go IMO.

Thanks for the plug. :)

This is something I learnt the hard way. These barges are very lethargic off the line if you can't build boost on stall.

I also suffered a massive brain fade. MRC fit and tune Nistune in Castle Hill.....NOT I repeat NOT Hills Motorsports.

Mark can desolder the old board and resolder the new one, load in the correct base image and if you want they can tune it although I have never used them for tuning but I believe they are competent and reasonable.

Yeah, this. At the moment I am running a hypergear high flow on an otherwise stock ECU S1 stagea. I never timed a 0-100kmh with my stock turbo, but currently it does a realistic 0-100 in just under 10 seconds. Only just. That's with 9psi of boost, plus a shift kit.

The turbo is really only effective above 3k rpm, unless its a highway cruising situation where the turbo can build boost around 2.7k rpm. I leave the transmission in power mode.

You can order nistune with mods as a base map already catered for ! It's still a base map but it will run the car fine , just did one for a rs4s z32, 500cc injectors , and a hyper gear 3076 highflow , the just use a base image of those mods on there , and nistune do tune for r&d and some others as well , I know coz I tune with Pete ;)

Thanks, this was the understanding that I had, you give them a list of the mods and they create a base image for that so that you can drive it to the tuner of your own choice.

Nistune won't give you a base tune to suit your mods.

It will be exactly the same as stock once the Nistune board is installed.

Then the tuner can change the map to suit.

Nistune don't tune cars. They make and sell the hardware and software so cars can be tuned..

yep they do ben, pete gave me a base tune for 700cc injectors and 3076, started first go, cold start is good, i drove around on it for 2

weeks and didn't foul plugs, drove like stock and when we went to tune on the dyno it was all pretty sweet on light load stuff

Was pretty happy with thers service. I got my map of another tune they did with a few tweaks (they do tune), and they tuned mine

cheers

Well the ya go!

i hade my car dyno's using nitune by chasers in west melbourne, i gave them my ecu number and they oredered everything to suit, installed it and tuned it no problems.

(also got 550cc injectors and plugs from scotty)

I make adjustments to get close settings where possible but some injector types and other variables will mean that AFRs may be out. Anything I put on as a base is just to get the vehicle to tuners without taking it on a tow truck!

From the base tunes I have seen you do a very good job of this. Great work Matt.

When are you starting on the VQ25det? :P

  • 2 weeks later...

New plug in for 350Z. Tried a few times to upload an article without success. At the beginning it says VQ35DE only but further down it says suitable for n/a or forced induction engines. Don't know if it will be any good to M35 guys:

yes and no.

they gave me a base tune to drive to the tuner.

included 30% extra fuelling, bigger stock injectors, bigger stock fuel pump, bigger throttle body.... all installed on the nistune as stock parts, however, they where nissan parts, so it was easy for them to do.

they did not do anything to allow for the turbo however,

and for this privelage i paid the grand total of 850 dollars including tune. 1400 bucks for a nistune?! they are having your pants down man.

edit.

didnt read the second page, i see someone has brought this up.

my apologies.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
