S2 Stagea Nistune

[AndyD]

I was at chasers the other day getting my brakes done and quized there tuner Paul about Nistune and if they were going to do them he informed me they had started to do them. Quote for a S2 stagea auto drive in/out including supply,install and tune will be around $750 mine will be booked in very shortly and i will supply b4 and afters to let you know how it goes. Contact glenn at chasers for all enquiries (03) 9687 7118

I think Trent at Status/URAS on here, is cheaper.

allows real time tuning of the ECU via the consult plug, awesome setup.

Will be doing this on my 34 sedan.

the nistune chip sits in the stock ecu (so totally invisible) and can control afrs, timing, change rev limit and more importantly remove 180km speed limit. Sadly they are not available for S1 Stageas.

This may be true but if like me u live no where near dandenong this is an option for people living on the western/northern side of the cbd i posted this for peoples convenience not to point out that they maybe the cheapest.

Awesome! I'm really keen to see some before and after figures on the NIStune. I wouldn't mind getting this installed as soon as i can. Also be interesting for traveling sakes how much different the car will be on fuel before and after. Do you have any other mods on the Stagea to go with this??

[kccortez]

Just got my nistune on my s2 rs auto stagea redone yesterday. Had some misfiring issues due to plugs but now its bloody amazing!!!!!!!!!

Before my tune with stock turbo and safc neo( which is now for sale )i managed 185rwkw at 12psi with all usual mods and stock afm, injectors. Now with hypergear turbo and nistune i'm pushing 230 rwkw at 16 psi!!!

The nistune transformed the engine completely. No where near as laggy, cold starts are perfect and changes on the stock auto are really snappy at the top end with no flaring. Funny thing is before the nistune my auto would flare for a second before changing to second, now it just clicks in really quick!! Hope that lasts!

On an rs rwd stagea this setup is so much fun! I'm getting to the limit of my rear tyre traction, and best of all i'm managing 450km + to a tank enen with a heavy foot and city driving!

Go the nistune definately, had mine done at status tuning by trent and he is fantastic!!

I had my car dyno'd when i put a boost controller in pulled 178 rwkw on 12psi dropped to 8 psi @6000rpm, since then i have installed full 3" turbo back exhaust and an adjustable cam gear, car came with hks intercooler and pod. All my driving is on highway get about 520 kms per tank but never run it empty so maybe 550-600 out of a tank. will post up results of new tune as soon i have it installed prob july/august

[RBPOWA-(TJ)]

auto trans so no need for anything mentle in the way of tunning

WOW - didn't know Chaser's do Nistune...another option for me, Although Trent at Status Tuning is the highly recommended, it's simply too difficult to get over the other side of the city to get it done (at my work, I can't take time off because we're short staffed).

2 of my friends got their cars tuned up at Chaser's and spoke very highly of them

sorry guys slightly off topic, but a bit interested if you have got a std turbo andy(i guess it is at 178rwkw on 12), have you any other mods eg safc etc to improve fuel use or a block behind the fun pedal because all stagea owners would cut off a nut for those figures

That figure was on the Chasers dyno in rear drive only (fronts pulled out) and as the car came from japan. Stock turbo (as far as i know) stock dump pipe and hks silent power cat back,hks intercooler and hard pipes and hks pod and turbotech bleed valve set to 12psi as stated. As for ecu i have always assumed it was standard it however may not be but never looked to see i guess i'll find out when the nistune goes in. There was nothing on the auction sheet to indicate modified or changed ECU or turbo and no sign of any aftermarket electronics (safc/sitc). I found the dyno sheet i over quoted a bit real figure is 175.6 RWKW unfortunately i could not get a print out of AFR's

178kw sounds about right.

i pulled 140.2kw in awd mode with just POD, FMIC, and full 3inch exhaust 10psi

oh yeah auto box also

[bayslideblue]

Would this be a better option than jaycar AFR & boost controller with hand controller, which I was thinkin of doing. It's a bit more expensive but if the outcome if much better.......?

Any ideas on who I can talk to about getting this done in Brizzy?

EFI Performance. They are at Yatala or Nerang

I might be going down this track. Approx $300 plus tune $500.

Opposed to the Vipec for $2600 installed and tuned

Nistune will be better than just getting the Jaycar DFA but you will still need a boost controller and the Jaycar is great value if you can build it or find one already built).

...

Lose the stock dump for something (anything?) else, and fit a decent cat. turbine noise is a bit louder, but best estimates put those 2 parts fitted to my car alone at being worth ~5awkW (with a stock cat-back).

Otherwise, stop talking about how good the Nistune is - us S1 owners get all upset about it...
