This guys says that its a ECU that is modded to do 8 to 12 hp, is it worth getting or is it a rip? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...sPageName=WDVW

Heres wat he says..
89-94 Nissan Maxima with single cam engine VG30E and auto transmission. Upgraded performance ecu. Professionaly socketed and upgraded with performance chip program. Aprox. gain in HP is 8 to 12 depending on condition of your engine.

Timing maps optimised for 91 and higher octane fuel.

Fuel maps tuned for best air flow ratio ~12:1

Rev limit at 7000

Top speed of 120mph eliminated

User gets complete ECU unit as well as stock chip so the ecu can be set back to stock program. You will notice better throttle response and engine will rev quicker with this upgraded complete engine computer. No resistor nock offs. No core exchange. you get to keep your stock ECU.

Auction is for complete ECU unit, no core charge. This is not a JWT ecu.

 

#1- 90+ octane useless in VG, Just burns slower.

#2- no max's are goverened. I know my max did 122+ b4 my crash. It was only at like 4000rpm too. Plenty of topend left to the redline of 6500rpm.

Still might be worth it but donno.

when something sounds to good to be true, sometimes it is, i would look more into it before buying it.

 

donate and search, you'll find the whole story on that ECU mod

 

dont think our max are governed. i go over 125 without a problem and im still at around 4000rpm

 

Donate and search People!
SEARCH!!!

 

This guy knows his stuff. He has a 12 sec turbo VG. I cannot personally vouch for his stuff, but it seems pretty legit to me. He explained everything in a thread earlier.

His screen name is HakkenTT or something similar.

I agree, donate and search.

 

same here, at least 125 no problem, seems like the car is just cruisin

 

depends on where your timing is set...if this ECU is set up like the JWT ECU your timing will advance and retard. in this case you HAVE to run higher octane fuel

 

YEAH!

 

btw.. if u people want to buy it can u not outbid me? just ask him to make another one so u can get it. cuz' i'm getting this one with lower octane fuel timing optimizations.. i was talking to him about it few days ago before i placed the bid.. thx guys...

 

"Can u not outbid me?"

Hmm...trying to figure out if you want us to outbid you or not.

BTW: Isn't there an unwritten rule that you're not supposed to list eBay stuff in posts because it potentially ruins a good deal for a fellow member?
I guess it wouldn't matter if a seller had more than one for sale.

 

yea.. now i'm buying it $11.01 more than my initial bid.. =(

 

A good rule is, unless you want everyone else to know about something (thus driving up the price) don't post ebay auctions. Wisely, a lot of mods lock threads with ebay listings. If you are listing something on ebay, there is nothing wrong with posting it in the for sale section. It's just not really fair to guys that spent a lot of time searching for something only to have several hundred people find out about it through a silly post.

In the case of this guy's ECUs, a smart .org member would probably send the guy a PM and see if you can have one made at a set cost. If you have a spare ECU, you could probably send it to him. I don't know him, or what he prefers to do, but I think he probably gets ECUs out of boneyard cars, which drives the price up some.

 

someone needs to try it and see. I would but I dont need a ecu for my program.

 

"His screen name is HakkenTT or something similar".

This guy is a flamer off the twinturbo.net forum. He's not repspected too much over there. I'd be a little cautious...

Also, the Maxima SE has a speed limiter "around" 137 mph (seen it), and I thought it had an RPM limiter as well, but it's set pretty high.

There is no speed limiter on a VE 5-speed, I know that for sure. The rev limiter is just a bit past the red line.

 

You didn't test that theory on I-5 S did ya?? hehe

 

I have a 94 SE automatic with a lil over 205000 miles on the board and brang it up to 130 with no problems or hesitation and felt like a could bring it up a lil more.

 

My question right off the bat would be, how can an ECU alone raise your rev limit? An engine can only handle what it's engineered for. Anyone claiming a simple mod can raise rev limits by 4-500 RPM gets a big BS stamp from me.

 

No, I-5 is too busy.

I-84 has much less traffic

Shawn can give you video evidence to back my claim.

 

The factory sets the rev limit (through the ECU) at what they consider to be a safe level. An aftermarket ECU or upgrade will push the envelope just a little more. It might be a little closer to the "unsafe" level, but it will be higher.

 

personally done over that and still kept climbing. When you have concert evidance then speak about what you think, sorry, know.

I have hit 140+ and i just ran out of room.

That seems pretty amazing, since it literally takes my VG about 4.5 seconds to go from 122mph to 125mph which is quite sad. Also at about that time, I am actually very close to the redline and there is no more power left.

 

you should do a little research then
