Wolf3d V4 Or Nistune? R32 With 25det

[Rolls]

I already have a wolf3d V4 in my r32 with a 25det + gcg highflow. Now what is going to be easier to tune and give the better tune overall?

I realise buying a 20det ecu and nistune plus starting the tune from scratch is probably going to creep towards $1000 but I can get at least $500 for the wolf ecu. If I stick with the wolf ecu I will only need 2-3 hours dyno time ($300 ish) to get the tune tidied up (already has been tuned for 220kw run in tune) but it is not going to be as fuel efficient or idle as well, the reason being the stock ecu has fully sequential injection where as the wolf has to run batch mode (fires 2 injectors at once).

What would you guys do for a car in the 240-260kw range that is daily driven? Not to mention I have to go through regency (defect inspection) in the near future so I will need a stock ecu, the 20det ecu with a nistune will help me out here.

well if you have to go through the defect inspection thing, then id say the nistune, i have one in mine, loving it.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking, the wolf doesn't offer me any features that make the lack of sequential injection worth it and the fact it is defectable.

You might be better of running a z32 ecu plus nistune so you can take advantage of vvt.

My only gripe with the nistune is that you have no knock lite.

Yeah a knock light is a cool feature. You know whats even cooler?? Auto retard when knock is detected i'd think id rather save my engine than blow it up and know the knock count.

Hmm I've dropped the car off at boostworx. Maybe I will go pick it up (they haven't done anything yet) and do some more research and be 100% about what I should be tuning it with and who I should get to do it.

Really is a headf**k finding a good tuner and knowing what ECU to use. Really is hard to sort the good tuners from the bad tuners. Everyone has a different story about what ECU to use as well, like I'm talking 100% completely opposite opinions from well respected people.

Being as I have to go through regency and need the stock ECU I think the nistune really can't be that bad an option to go with though.

Knock reading is not anywhere as important as Knock control. Nistune is the best Street ECU for all supported Nissans.

uhh i dont remember saying i would rather a knocklite INSTEAD of nistune pulling a bit of timing out, Jus saying it's a handy thing to have diagnosing a problem that you dont know exists is kinda hard.

I wonder when they will implement external outputs from the nistune. If it can do all the stuff they can, surely they can set triggers for certain events etc.
