My car is stock evrything minus exhaust and the kit itself so you cant tell anything untill you see me takin off

Few questions though...with AFR's should I be seeing while in boost? Its been hovering around the 10.2-10.5 area. I know thats probably a little rich but more on the safe side. What do you guys think? I did get a check engine light after I got home from a 3 hour drive for multiple misfire. I wonder if it has anything to do with the hot starts and UTEC. This hot start thing blows major ***** with the UTEC there has got to be a way to fix that...I can tell that it is going to drive me crazy after a while. Any thoughts on that?

Overall I am really impressed with my experience with Performance factory and the quality of the parts on this kit. Jeremy and Tim really took care of me even though there were a few hickups starting off. I need to get a polished intake manifold now to compliment the rest of the bling in the engine bay now. Overall this kit was worth every penny after day one.
weird my car hits full boost around the same rpm..but doesnt pull until 4,000 rpms.. must be the basemap im running haha.

well your running a gt37r...you require much more exhaust gas to spool that beast of a turbo. You on a built block? Your top end must be insane regardless.

the random misfire code is the engine saying 'wtf is going on' if it isn't directly linked to a specific cylinder. Something abnormal in the ecu's mind is going on and it isn't sure so it throws that generic code. I had one or 2 of those, cleared them out and good to go so far, your ecu might not throw them as often once it learns a bit. that a/f is a bit rich, but the car will tend to add fuel in hotter weather anyways, you will be safer when it cools a bit. The problem must be recognized a couple different times and under certain perameters to throw the light. I would check them once a month and clear out any permanent changes to the ecu. I just cleared a permanent learn to make the engine run richer. It blamed an a/f sensor saying it was running lean then made a permanent correction in the stock ecu to run richer. My coworker, an engineer for Nissan, told me that it is SOP to clear that code any time it shows on any Nissan.


my point is, keep an eye on what code you throw...understand it and interpret it as either a problem, or just that the computer is confused by the new system.


good luck
