Someone might try looking into this.

 

Currency conversion kid here.

That ROM costs $1100 US. Whoever wants to research this, you da man!

 

If it's customizable for mods/fuel type, plug-n-play, and removes/raises the limiters I'd pay TWICE that.

Too bad the VW/Audi guys have all this fun for $599.

 

Where does it say VQ35?

Maybe I need glasses but I don't see it.

 

It doesn't, but they are offering 350Z parts --> http://www.prospec-ms.co.uk/350z/nismo.html

Is the engine different for THEIR 350Z?

 

Sorry man, this part is probably for the RB or SR engine.

 

Doubt it, but the configuration may be different.

 

Just the fact that they can offer ANY newer Nissan ecu is interesting. Being an adjustable one makes it even more interesting.

 

I agree, but that's probably because they've been out for awhile. The do say "MOST" Nissan applications, so it sounds like they may be into more than just Skylines and Sylvias. Especially, now that the 350Z is out and they are clearly heading into that market.

I'm not disappointed, since I don't have a VQ35 anyways. I was just hoping some 5+ gens. would try contacting them and see what happens.

I guess I'm one of the few who believe the ECU has HUGE potential for gains.

 

I agree. Awhile ago I contacted a Japanese tuner that does ECU fuel/ignition map tracing and sold custom burned EPROMs for late model Nissans. However, he didn't speak English that well and I don't speak any Japanese, so communication was limited.

Japan tuners can "hack" our ECU, it's just finding a donor ECU, fronting the cash, and convincing them that there is DEMAND for such a product that's the hurdle to overcome.

 

the only ECU I would buy is from JWT. they are gods when it comes to nissan tuning, and i hope they will break the code on the VQ motor. The price of the ECU in my sentra was about $500. And, if i went turbo or NOS, they would upgrade it for $100. They are better than stand alone when it come to realibility.

Thanks, but we(I at least) know who JWT is and what wonderful "magic" they can peform with their modified ECUs.

However, they have CLEARLY decided NOT to support late 4th, 5th, and now 5+ gen Maximas with ECU development.

I just don't understand how they can stay in business with such a limited product line. I guess they sell lots of 300Z and Sentra parts. Even Stillen is even supporting the Honda/Acura and other manufacturer markets.

 

you know, that sucks. There are so many cars with this engine, you figure that they would make a better effort to do the R&D and make it happen. I wont get a different ECU unless its from them, and as for how they stay busy? i dont know. I just ordered some S4 cams for my 92 SE-R (18-22 hp at the wheels) and the last i checked, it was taking them 4-6 weeks to program an ECU for bigger injectors, NOS, or Turbo. it seems like they are making a killing on the SR20 engine, and good for them! Now, there are many sentras putting 160+ to the wheels in a 2400lb car! this is the old school SE-Rs, not the new 2k02 Rice ones that you see now...

 

I know what '91-94 SR20 engines are capable of. I maintain/drive a '93, but it's NOT a 2.0L SE-R! It's a 1.6L XE LE with 134K+, but my girlfriend(8+yrs.) bought it new long before I was around and I drive it just around town. However, I love seeing a couple of turbocharged Apexi SERs running at the track with over 350whp. They spank almost everything that dares run them.

 

yeah, i am NA now, should do about 155+ to the wheels, but i am going to do the DET swap. A local guy had a 95 200SX SE-R, F-max stage 2 or 3, 409WHP, STOCK block with water injection! I love the SR20!!! Bulletproof!

Lets hope the VQ is just as good! its funny, my SE-R is now my auto-x, track *****, and i drive my 02 max, and im like damn, its FASTER than my fully bolted on SE-R! I love nissan! my se-r will run circles around my max on the auto-x course though!

 

155+ fwhp in a Sentra =

The SR20 and the Supra 2JZ(?) are massively overbuilt engines. Supposedly the SR20 crank can support up to 500hp, when it "only" produce 140hp stock! Did you read the magazine article(SCC or Import Tuner I think) where JWT tore down the 2.5 Spec V motor and said the bottom end(crank, journals, rods, rod bols) could NEVER support close to the SR20 abilities? Definitely a let down.

However, they said a 2.2L Hybrid(SR20 bottom end with the 2.5 top end) may be possible. It would be able to redline and flow the amount of air as a 2.5, but have the bottom end strength of the SR20. Now that would be interesting, but I'd rather go the SR20DET route.

 

Ah-Hum Fairlady Z.....
and aren't there(in Japan) engines equipped with different cams and such anyway I hate to be a doubter, but something always ruins our fun when it comes to importing Japanese goodies to use on our cars....

 

No idea, but when I've sifted through all the Japanese characters on some of the tuner sites I've made out the VQ30DE, however it was from a Cima(sp?) or something so it's harness most likely won't be plug-n-play.

The WHOLE point is that if they can "hack" any NEW Nissan ECU, then they have the equipment and know-how. However, the language and time zone hurdle adds to the problem. Not to mention $$$$$$$$.

 

I am pretty sure we will see atleast one or maybe even two ECU's for the VQ35 in the next 6 months. I bet JWT and Stillen R&D team are working on ECU's right now for the 350Z and G35. Once they figure these cars out they will offer the maxima owners the same mod.

BTW I really want a modified ECU bad!

yeah, sentras kick ***!
i have read EVERY artice on the SR20, and i know that the QR25DE, the "new" SE-R motor is the biggest piece of crap since the 3.1 chevy engines!

it turns out that an SR QR hybrid is not possible. Not surprising to me as all guys who have QRs(se-r wanna bees) are having so many problems. Whats funny to me is the SR can support 400+ HP, and the QR dies at 250+. man the QR sucks!!!!
