ne one know when they are going to finally complete the ecu?

The 00/01 TS ECU has been out there for a while...

A33 VQ30DEK

iTrader: (23)

has it really? I know its been prototyped on cars, like larrio, but haven't seen many people on the board with it.

MaximaPolak

iTrader: (9)

Correction...the 02/03 has been out there for a while....

Larrio

iTrader: (10)

i guess its just me shifting at 7100 rpm

Maximadmoiselle

iTrader: (1)

That's basically what I meant. I know people like IceY2K1 and Larrio have been involved in the issue for a while and that the actual ECU is in the works, whatever that means to the TS people. I meant that there's an existing prototype out there, not that it's widely available yet.

panda_1

iTrader: (4)

But Why? How Much More Testing Is Required Before It Is Available?

Maximadmoiselle

iTrader: (1)

Guess it's not TS's main priority right now. Chances are many, many more G35/350Z owners will have the income and desire to get a ECU for their cars than 00/01 Maxima owners. So all their effort goes towards that type of vehicles.

When I called TS, I was put on hold by some lady. She came back on and said they don't have a ECU upgrade for a 00-01 Maxima, when I asked about a prototype she said they are working on a 02-03 Maxima right now and it should be out soon. I was like yo, U need to check yo self out cause there are plenty of 02-03 Maximas runing your ECU right now, unless someone is doing those on the side without you people knowing ! Peace. I guess no ECUs for us.

Maximadmoiselle

iTrader: (1)

LOL that's a good one

I take it that if they haven't done so so far, most likely they'll never get around to releasing it. Let's think about it, those are 3-5 year-old cars, 5spds are relatively rare (given they crack the ECU for the 5spd first), it doesn't sound overall like a promising investment for them.

BlackBIRDVQ

iTrader: (15)

You know whats funny is.... I can call JWT and have them reprogram the ECU on a 1984 300ZX.... how many do you think they do a year ? or a 91 Q45 ? Why can't they offer something to cars that are only few years old... not 20 years old. Its not like we are asking for a ECU reprogram for a 1992 Isuzu Stylus RS, we have cars that you see plenty off on the road.

Goiod point, guess I just lucked out with a 95 (JWT option) and an '03 (TS option)

Larrio

most of the wait had to do with their tech tadashi being sent back to japan to decode new Z/G35 software, so I got stuck with the beta test program for a long time. They still have my original ECU and they better give that back. However, now that tadashi is back the main guy Danny is gone.... so its a waiting game right now. My ECU has been decoded and is back from japan

TS has told me that the maxima market has been somewhat stale in terms of sales, so I guess they aren't really looking forward to having masses of maxima owners buy their ECU. Apparently the 4th gen guys ran a GD a while back with 30 buyers and only a few ended up purchasing it

i want one larry!

iTrader: (4)

same here when i get the car back.

mjg

funny, i spoke to tadashi last week, he seemed to be in america to me.


I'm doing my ecu in a few weeks.

Zack342

iTrader: (89)

no i have called technosquare and i spoke to a guy there who said they have prototyped an ECU for a 2000 and were waiting for it to be tested. i hope to it works, because then there will be hope for me...

Gennady7

he said tadashi is back but danny is gone!

mjg

oof
my bad.

4th gener's are cheap SOBs :-D Till today no one wants to dyno a set of cattman headers for us to see the results on a 3.0L, and there aren't that many 5spd 3.0Ls out there anyways. Most people with 3.0L 5th gen do not go to the extremes of putting headers, turbos, SCs. Yeah there are quite a few of us out there that ARE into hard core modifications, yet there are tons of people out there who think some blue interior bulbs, and maybe a front strut tower brace are big mods. I think if the dyno charts showed a nice improvement over stock with a higher redline they would sell the projected 40 ECUs.

rlvq35de

I have the technosquare ECU for my altima. And was very disappointed with the results of the dyno. A/F ratio was whack. Now I have the smt-6 piggybacked to the TS ecu to correct everything. But IU have just bypassed that recently because I installed the Nismo camshafts last week.

Has anyone here done cams yets?

Anyway, I got half my money back from Dannu because they didnt know how to tune a car with headers and added soo muchs fuel and timing its not even funny. I will never buy a product that isnt tuned for my car again.

ISELKARS2

Had my 2002 SE ecu done by TS 2 weeks ago-works great!!

Larrio

iTrader: (10)

TS has been having problems with the headers program on 3.5 maximas/altimas. The ecu is overcompensating by adding fuel. Its somewhat more complicated than TS not being able to do it right

MaximaPolak

iTrader: (9)

I thought TS does the ECUs to the mods on your car....so if you change or add mods, the ECU won't work right.

Larrio

iTrader: (10)

the 3.5 ecu is really homo in the sense that it keeps over adjusting the fuel maps with headers (don't ask me why)

BlackBIRDVQ

iTrader: (15)

Lets just hope the 00-01 ECU aint like the 3.5L ECU cause it would cause problems. I just want the ECU for higher rev limiter. Don't matter to me NA wise cause I am going turbo.

panda_1

iTrader: (4)

i sent them an email yesterday and i recieved a response from brian stating....



We are going to go out on a limb and estimate an end of November release. Thanks


so we'll see...

mjg

maximapolak.

THat is why tadeshi told me that to properly tune the car, i should get the the cheaper version, and get my car to a dyno to tune it perfectly. They said themselves to tune the car would be tediouss (take dynos send back and forth).


I will probablly get the the basic 300 version with just rev limiter removed and higher top speed.

panda_1

iTrader: (4)

thats waht i was thinking but wondered how hard would it be for the dyno to tune it?

BlackBIRDVQ

iTrader: (15)

I would pay 300 for a 7500RPM redline and no speed limiter.

Gennady7

and this would work on the gxe-gle-se models? even though the gxe has some crazy speed limiter at 110

BlackBIRDVQ

iTrader: (15)

hmm mine cuts off at 135 on the speedo- 130 watching the scan tool. With Apexi Rev Speed meter I have gone alot faster but I didn't know how fast I was going. It don't wanna work right with 01s. I got a GXE 5spd 01. Slamming the speed limiter at 130 is pretty violent, I think it would do 150-155MPH without a problem if I needed to go that fast and no limiter stopped me. Since I'm going turbo over winter- when my car is in storage, I will need to get rid of the speed limiter for sure.

Gennady7

Wait the speed limiter on a gxe is 125???? Mine maxed out at 110. When going down hill, i saw the rpms go to 1 just to make the car slow down.

A33 VQ30DEK

iTrader: (23)

i would also pay that much for the 7500 rpm redline and no limiter

panda_1

iTrader: (4)

i would love to buck 150+, when they do the fuel and air curve corrections do u think there would be a significant gain?

joebangaa

iTrader: (3)

if they ever perfected the ecu with headers for the 3.5 i'd get it so fast gah

Zack342

iTrader: (89)

+1

that's all i want

5thgen2nr

can the VQ30 handle 7500 rpms?

chris'smax

iTrader: (3)

Would they be able to do a custom program for my supercharger? I would assume so since they do it for the 4th gen's. Also would this eliminate the use for the SAFC 2 or could i still use it for fine tunning?

joebangaa

iTrader: (3)

^^ i thought the 3.5's have been proven already (though i dunno about more seriously modded ones) yea?

chris you should jsut call them up and see what they say. i feel lucky im in so cal so close to ts
