Graphs are below .. red line is stock ecu (which couldn't cope with anything more than 10psi boost) and blue is the new remapped ecu (and 11psi boost) after road tune with Toshi. Car has a turbo back exhaust (JJR front/dump and HKS Silent Power catback) and Greddy EBC, but is otherwise stock.

Can anyone suggest how to hold the boost steady ? As you can see in the 2nd photo it starts dropping from about 5200rpm (11psi) down to approx. 9psi at redline (7000rpm). I have a Greddy ProfecB Spec2 EBC (settings are, boost 55%, gain 15% and start boost '94' ie. 9.4psi)

I'm pretty happy with the new remapped ecu .. car feels more responsive in mid range and is obviously making about 15kw more power at the top end. It's obviously a SAFE tune, not too lean but leaner than stock. Toshi listened for pinging during road tune (microphone connected to the engine block, back to his headphones) and adjusted timing accordingly so theres no pinging. Cost was $500 which included the necessary ecu daughterboard etc

at redline? I'm not worried about redline .. boost seems to be steadily falling off from 5000rpm or so. According to the greddy manual, upping the 'gain' should fix boost that gets reduced as rpms increase.

But I'm not clear on one thing .. it also says that if you increase gain, your overall boost will automatically be higher. So am I right to think that if I increase gain by say 2 points, I should reduce boost 2 points, in order to regain 11psi ?

Wooa :D Thats very impressive, Well done Toshi,

looks like my ex-ecu had secret powers after all :)

lol so that was your ecu hey ? Nice, I liiiike. My one was version 500 (first r34 gtt ecu) and yours was an updated revision v502 Thanks for the brain transplant!

    • Whoa, that's a name I've not see for a long time! Sorry to hear about the engine / turbo damage.  Fwiw with any engine problems it often really a case of just seeing what happens when it's apart, ymmv - I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the damage isn't even from the turbo failure, or possibly from a combination.  The airflow between cylinders isn't dead even, injectors can go off over time as well, with the turbos overboosting if you didn't have upgraded fuel system there could have possibly been a bit of leaning out - stock triggering is often a bit unreliable by this age too.  Basically its an old engine and a few things could have been going on, and you won't know how much work is needed until the engine is apart.  
    • I'm just shocked there's a euro driver on our roads who is thinking of other road users and not attempting to blind everyone. I wonder if Prank uses his indicator too...
    • Its hard to tell really. The Q50 owner's forum talks about it a lot and has quite a few people directly affected, but no idea what % of cars sold actually had the block replaced. Also, there seem to be 2 distinct issues which both get diagnosed by Infiniti as requiring a block replacement (no wonder they are going broke) 1. "Porous block" where coolant mixes with oil through thin or poorly cast parts of the block 2. Head coolant gallery plugs not sealing. If I was noticing engine coolant loss I'd start with cooling system pressure test (as always) and then I'd pull the cam covers and reseal the coolant gallery plugs on both side before worrying about a potentially porous block.  If neither of those did the trick it would be put in a second hand engine out of japan; I haven't checked pricing but I'm sure there are plenty around by now as they've been in production 10+ years
    • To clarify what I posted above, I thought you both had a situation where it cancelled sooner one way than the other.....if it is reasonably even where it cancels in either direction that is probably normal (consider gentle movements like lane changes, you don't want it to need half a turn of lock to turn the indicators off)
    • Son, in this country, that is a piece of Gyprock. f**king drywall. FFS! I also like the autocorrect of trailer to tablet. I was reading it and thing, "what the hell drugs is he on?" Then the photo made it clear enough.
