I acheived 45 hp gain just by changing the ecu setup. My buddies helped me create custom profiles but the max output was right at 45 hp @ 7200 rpm.
Using the max power profile your gas milage suffers and of course engine wear is increased but I dont run it on that profile most of the time, Thats how i get better gas milage. custom engine maps
I can be at a dead stop and smoke the tires on pavement with no brake applied in drive. with a automatic tranny, no cheat nuetral drop with a stick like i see all the regulars do to try to show off .
Just because someone bolted on a hp gaining peice of hardware doesnt mean you tuned up your car. All mods are pretty worthless for hp gains with the stock ecu for the exception of forced induction but its still severly limited with a stock ecu. The stock ecu does not automaticly reconfigure its paramiters to the new hardware. Thats why is called a stock ecu. Now you can however re flash your ecu but it was never meant for that and may damage it or other electrical systems.
And for the tubo guy , I bet ur running a stock ecu. Am I correct ?
Imagine another 30 to 50 gain. Faster starts and harder shifts.
iteration... bam u punch it, first gear, tires roast, they break loose , u redline , bam second and they break loose again and u redline @ 7200, bam u hit third and still they stick and ur excelerating, by then ur gone. all the while u never let off the gas, no shift lag, ya u loose a bit with a automatic but its better than a stick FOR ME. I can eat a brand new nismo. I just had a guy follow me to the gas station and was like what is under your hood. I showed him and he freaked. He asked me what boost im usuing. Needless to say he tripped.
Funny thing is with a turbo when u let off the gas to shift your preasure drops and you loose. I would have to say turbos and auto tranny's are a match made in heaven, no presure drops = I win and unless your a master at driving sticks and know exactly when to shift then you should be in nascar, but your no better off with a stick and dont have to shift constantly in traffic which made me rage in my last car.
Six lanes @ 5 mph will drive u insane with a stick, no thanks.
Look guys do some research into the ecu setups in z racing. You will start to understand what your missing.
Nissan designed the ecu for maximum effeciency not performance. gas millage, smooth shifts ect. Theres huge gains to be realized with a customizable ecu.
add injectors, hotter spark, increase engine breathing and ur on the way to a real pleasure.
Well there it is. its late and i have a 5 am work out session so i'm out.

a stock windows computer with stock drivers for the hardware when there are high persormance hardware install on the computer = ****ty performance. Now install the performance drivers and it makes all the difference. Same goes for the ecu firmware. When u add mods the firmware has to be updated to ues the perf gains the mods were purchased for in the first place.
u c hardware upgrade= software ( firmware ) upgrade.
each peice u add , re program the ecu firmware to adapt to the new configuration.
I dont see anyone posting about this and that is a shame.
can u smell what the ecu is cookin
goto a dyno shop , upgrade the firmware and re post with gains.
you maybe suprised what happends, also remember to use wide band sensors , they sample faster and are more acurate.
i am non boost and am pulling 400 hp with a automatic tranny
speed force racing twin throttlebody plenum
http://www.speedforceracing.com/prod...y_g35imani.php
borla exhaust
unorthadox light flywheel and pulleys
utec ecu
hotter spark, cooller plug, uridium
sun voltage sys
I installed all the parts except ecu then had ecu and dyno,
wow i said wow wtf i could not beleive it, u sure this is my car, what did u do, omfg slow down, holy shttt did u add nitrous
, no sir just tuned is correctly

Not to get too OT, but if you are referring to me then you are not correct. As I stated earlier I was running a greddy TT w/ F-CON and a bunch of other bolt ons and was only making 370whp on normal boost.
Is your claim of 400hp a WHP or crank rating? I will not deny reflashing/ tuning the stock ECU for each of the mods is the best way to get the most power out of your purchases, but going from 240whp - 400whp is just not possible with the mods you listed, even with tuning. Are you running any Meth or NOS? Are you using C18 or something or is this on normal 93 pump gas?
Any chance we could see the dyno sheet to see the machine used, correction factors and where your powerband is? Thanks.

Using the max power profile your gas milage suffers and of course engine wear is increased but I dont run it on that profile most of the time, Thats how i get better gas milage. custom engine maps
I can be at a dead stop and smoke the tires on pavement with no brake applied in drive. with a automatic tranny, no cheat nuetral drop with a stick like i see all the regulars do to try to show off .
Just because someone bolted on a hp gaining peice of hardware doesnt mean you tuned up your car. All mods are pretty worthless for hp gains with the stock ecu for the exception of forced induction but its still severly limited with a stock ecu. The stock ecu does not automaticly reconfigure its paramiters to the new hardware. Thats why is called a stock ecu. Now you can however re flash your ecu but it was never meant for that and may damage it or other electrical systems.
And for the tubo guy , I bet ur running a stock ecu. Am I correct ?
Imagine another 30 to 50 gain. Faster starts and harder shifts.
iteration... bam u punch it, first gear, tires roast, they break loose , u redline , bam second and they break loose again and u redline @ 7200, bam u hit third and still they stick and ur excelerating, by then ur gone. all the while u never let off the gas, no shift lag, ya u loose a bit with a automatic but its better than a stick FOR ME. I can eat a brand new nismo. I just had a guy follow me to the gas station and was like what is under your hood. I showed him and he freaked. He asked me what boost im usuing. Needless to say he tripped.
Funny thing is with a turbo when u let off the gas to shift your preasure drops and you loose. I would have to say turbos and auto tranny's are a match made in heaven, no presure drops = I win and unless your a master at driving sticks and know exactly when to shift then you should be in nascar, but your no better off with a stick and dont have to shift constantly in traffic which made me rage in my last car.
Six lanes @ 5 mph will drive u insane with a stick, no thanks.
Look guys do some research into the ecu setups in z racing. You will start to understand what your missing.
Nissan designed the ecu for maximum effeciency not performance. gas millage, smooth shifts ect. Theres huge gains to be realized with a customizable ecu.
add injectors, hotter spark, increase engine breathing and ur on the way to a real pleasure.
Well there it is. its late and i have a 5 am work out session so i'm out.
