hey just wondering if you guys could tell me if gettin the inteceptor to piggyback my stock ecu will be worth it, im picking it up fairly cheap but a few people have said its not worth it.

will i get any significant power gains out of the system or be better off saving for a replacement ecu?

thanks

They ae great units but not needed for your application, remap the std ecu email nistune they are Adelaide based.

thanks mate, what are they best used for?

if any1 is interested in buying one i might be selling it, pm me with a decent offer and it will go.

ill make a for sale thread a bit later.

I have one, but its set to 0. Previous owner decided a remapped factory was better. I'm planning on doing some work and getting the Interceptor retuned for ome extra power.

thanks mate, i think i might put on the interceptor anyway and see if i can gain a few wasps out of it.

let me know how you go withe yours,

morrie from horsepower in a box qouted me 100 an hour to tune the haltech

cheers

    • Yes, but it's not as easy as pulling a fuse on anything other than an R32. There's a routine you have to do, involving disconnecting a loom plug and bleeding down the preload.
    • A question for tuning awd, is it possible to disable the AWD? The stagea is an EA/T AWD, Toshi had said on a GTR, he was able to disable it and make it 2wd. Just wanted to double check if this was possible
    • 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
