Im sure they could do it, I just don't know what it will cost as they will have to learn the ecu oddities. I have paid over 2k in tuning time I think, Cihan has it down pat now. lol.

Its worth the trip, I have heard there are 4 cars coming down from Sydney soon... Are you doing the install with the stock turbo?

Nice. There would have to be someone in Adelaide who can tune it. Ill have to talk to a couple of the tuners I know and see if they can do it.

You would think that there would be someone in Sydney as well would you! Don't make the same mistake I did and throw money at BS artist's tuners who may give you a good end figure but a shit tune.....make sure they know what they are talking about....most of them have not even seen a VQ25DET.

The road trip is worth it to make sure it's done right. How much HP are you looking for BTW? There's 4 Stagea's in OZ atm all pumping better figures and more drivable than any others...Cihan tuned em all!

Oh man, some good stuff in this topic, but not enough hard straight, 'this is how you do it'.

Has anyone in Adelaide talked to Mark Tilbrook, Martin Donnan or Morpowa about what can be done with these cars?

How can an R35 GTR be tuned and not these?

I'm pretty sure one of the Adelaide lads approached Mr Donnon regarding tuning; and the answer was the same as most of the other channels.

The issue in not actually being able to tune the ECU; it can and has been done.

The issue is building a worthwhile business case for someone to actually set up the hardware to do it.

My understanding is; that there are several series/versions (up to 12?) of the VQ25DET ECU; so even if you can read/program one version, you may not be able to the next version.

So, if you own a car with the version that can be tuned; great; but if you don't; tough shit.

The number of potential customers isn't large enough to justify the expense of developing the reader/programmer.

TL/DR; Buy an E-manage or an F-con V Pro.

    • Right, but that's in-cylinder, there's the interaction between that and the TWC which complicates things. Pulling out timing to reduce NOx is a strategy I saw in transitional emissions vehicles like stuff from 1974 or so. The two inlet runner system is interesting but I'm not sure it makes a huge difference as far as emissions goes, is it a tumble valve? I've seen stuff like that even in cars from the late 80s. 
    • Hello all,   so i recently swapped out my rb20de neo with an rb25de neo( engine,transmission, wiring and the diff everything) but i just cant get the gear indication light on the dash to work when i switch to tiptronic mode. Note there is a steering wheel switch beside the shifter and i dont have that. I did notice yesterday while switching to tiptronic that the indicator on the dash started to work but it didn't afterwards. Does anyone know how this actually works? Or do i still need that steering wheel switch to be connected and on for that gear indicator to work?
    • Hence why I said earlier that I don't think the turbo Neos ever would have actually qualified as an LEV. I suspect the only actual LEVs that came out of Nissan were the NA Neos. Still call them all Neos. They all stil have the Neo-ness. Just that they don't all qualify as as LEVs.
    • It will give gains, but you wont hit 600 It will give gains but it wont get you to 600 imo. You will also sacrifice low down and you will be adding extra volume if you port match it, more so if you port the plenum runners depending and how its done I think the only time youre going to see about 100hp gains is if the car is making well over 1k kw I do have a spare set that I was going to test with, but i dont actually think there is anything worth getting going larger. I did a fair few S14/S15 and the standard TB is fairly small, I went to 60 and in some cases 64mm which is significant over the stock unit. You can also get some weird ratio changes. I think 20kw will be a stretch on a roller dyno. If I had it apart I might mill the shafts a little and not expect much, I think the stock size is still pretty good for a street/track car even with larger capacity. I might change diameter it if its a drag only car
