I dont know, i think if by changing the timing and a/f ratio were all you needed to get 18-32 hp out of the vq35, the engineers at nissan should be fired. I dont mean to be negative, but it just sounds unrealistic to me, especially when looking at the graphs of the stock and tuned a/f ratios, which seem way off to me. I mean the "tuned" a/f ratio is what the stock a/f ratio is supposed to be. Every ecu ugprade in Japan hasnt come anywehre near getting thsoe kind of hp gains from the VQ, so forgive me if im skeptical... it seems to me that power wise the VQ is tuned close to as well as it could be in stock form, and it isnt going to gain much from an ecu upgrade, maybe 10hp at the most.

Thats the beauty of the SMT6. It really is a remarkable unit that has many many tuning features and the guy tuning my car is a master at tuning it. In my opinion, the car is set up from the factory very conservatively. They push for the best fuel mileage and best emissions. For the few that don't think these dyno results are possible, then all I can say is time will tell. We plan on having a few more SMT6's installed bt next week so more 3rd party people can post their results.. I will let everyone know when our next dyno session will be so anyone in the NJ area can come watch for themselves..... We hope to release them within a few weeks, probably with an initial group buy.

I believe you. But why can't you guys raise the rev limiter with your ECU. 6600 rpm is too low, and the TechnoSquare ECU raises it to 7100, which seems about right to me.

In my own opinion if I were to manufacture a car that had an electrionic engine management system, I would set it to run "conservatively". I would not be able to gurantee that the car would operate at a certain sea level, under certain types of conditions and atmoshperic constants bla bla bla. I think you could get some great gains by tuning the car to your own "driving environment" ie, where you live. If they did tune the ecu for say absolute sea level, then cars up here in CO would be running $hitty as there is much less air than at sea level etc... They gotta tune to a certain "conservative" level to gurantee that the car could run decently in a wide range of conditions (with the help of dynamic ecu adaptation), etc.. Tuning is just that, tuning the car to run it's best in your own geographic area. I believe you can make those gains, congrats on your achievements and I look foward to watching this product
B.t.w., did these changes slam your gas mileage?

Couple of questions for you....
How does this differ from any other piggy back that just alters incoming signals to the stock ecu?
How do you handle air-temp compensation?
How about tranisient fuel compensation?
What about the "learning" the stock ecu does?
This is an interesting option but i will keep my reservations until i learn more about it. I have used similar devices (also well known as the uni-chip) and had mixed results under varying conditions...

Group Buy sounds good.I don't care about increasing the rev limiter.I certainly dont want detonation.A piggy back with a switch for 91 to 93 octane would be cool.Ping,Im outta here.Regards,Tom

We plan on offering a map for 91, 93, 100, and one for the procharger on 93!!! The basic kit will come with one programmed but you may add one more with a switch for a small fee... Stay tuned, we are getting close!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I won't buy an ECU that doesn't raise the rev limiter or top speed limiter but aside from that is my car the only one with an ECU that runs FAT and not LEAN? I'm talking 10HP *rich* and my car has had over 30 Dyno pulls.
Is my ECU whached or what? i added a wideband when I installed the FMU/SC and it was still real rich off the scale rich!

We will be installing 2 units in the very near future and then dynoing. We will also be installing one more on a car with the Ati procharger with before and after dyno's!!! Please be patient, we want to throughly test everything before letting the product out on the market...
Thanks!
Thanks!

Mike,
you seem a little excited! I am waiting to see that procharger and get it on the dyno.. Is it done yet???????????
Aceman,
The plenum is still in the works, it is going through some minor changes and is going through extensive testing. More info on its way....
