WR_LEO

Hi guys..
My name is Leo.. I work at Weapon*R and we are working on a New ECU and Intake Package which would gain you guys some seroius power..

We have had very good luck on the Lexus & Toyota vehicles we worked on..

Our power Packages include:
DRagon Intake System / Cold Airbox / ECU Upgrade..

To view some of our work.. Go to our website at:
www.weapon-r.com
and look at the WR ECU / Cold Airbox , there you'll see
some of our work and dyno results...

Recently we worked on a Toyota MRS 4 cylinder 1.8L..
to view some of the MRS owners comments about our product
go to www.spyderchat.com

I am looking for cars in the San Francisco Bay Area to volunteer their cars for 1 week for us to develope a Package for the Maximas..

In return we will product some dyno results and a package..
For the Car which donates their car to this program..
We will offer them the Airbox and Intake system at not charge..
We will install the ECU and Program it.. if the Volunteer likes
what they get they can pay us the cost for the ECU Upgrade..

We have got a minimum of 20+HP and 20ft Torque from most of our packages.. We usually get 25+HP and 30+TQ from V6 model cars..

If anyone is intrested please contact me at ..
leonow@weapon-r.com

Thanks...

I am not anywhere near the bay area, but many here would definitely be interersted in an ECU upgrade.

Y2KevSE is in the Bay area

Hello Leo!

I am pretty surprised that your company is getting bigger and bigger every year! In late 96, I remember you guys started making filters for Hondas and stuff and now you are making ECU and even coil over!!!

I have a few question however. Where do you guys design your suspension? I have heard complants from other people saying that your Coil over are universal and are extremely rough to ride on.

Also, are you stuff design and made in the United States?

Third, are the HP that gained from your packages measured at the wheels or the engine?

Thanks!

WR_LEO

Yes our filters are Foam.. They have proven to flow better and make more power for our set-ups than Cotton filters..

Our HP ratings are at the wheels.. We only dyno on a dynojet..

Yeah.. I am sad to reply that our suspension guy was a total RETARD..
We fired him.. We are concentrating on Our ECU and INtake Packages..
I don't think we will offer anymore Suspension Upgrades.. Unless i have time to design a set-up that i am happy with.. Sorry guys..

If you guys can find me someone to work with for the 5th gen Maxima's it would be great..

Look at the results we got from the TOYOTA MRS.. they thought i could'nt get any power from the darn thing.. eheheh..

Leo

Will you be offering these packages for the 2002 models as well.

WR_LEO

Yes we wanna cover all the 5th gen's..

Leo

max'n out

I like the idea of having another ecu what do you expect it to cost...also will it be mod specific...cuz that would really help with my s/c and intercooler(when that gets one in a few months) and make the tranny work better.

I've seen your packages on the Club Lexus forum, impressive results. Hope you get a 5th gen to work on, this is a promising thing for our cars.

Well, those are some impressive dyno plots. This is very interesting. As soon as I see some independent results for a MAx, I'll be really impressed...

Y2KevSE

iTrader: (13)

I'm from San Francisco/Bay Area. Your shop is in Colma (near Serramonte), correct?

I'm be willing to donate my car if you're able to tweak the ECU.

You can take a look at my site for the mods I have (I'm interested in the ECU).

Dustyroads

YES!!! Do it Kev!! I want an ECU too!!

Y2KevSE

iTrader: (13)

We all want better ECUs.

Dustyroads

Especially when I re-install my CAI and do the exhaust!! Yum!! Oh man BTW, the exhaust sounds NICE!!! You need to get Jane to rev it higher next time!! Keeping on topic, on the website they say it is tune-able, does this mean we can adjust it as well?? That would be fun!!

Y2KevSE

iTrader: (13)

I think they will have to tune it, but It's a piggyback ECU... same as teh UNICHIP I guess.

Yeah, I'll get Jane to rev it higher next time.

woosh

Not meaning to sound greedy, but can't you give the prototype ECU for free after testing is completed. After all, that person may get to see their award winning V6 go boom, right?

PRINCE NISMO

Well WR_LEO a few of us will be very interested in the results you can produce from your package. Some questions a few of us have is will the set-up for the 5th-gen be like the IS300, which is a piggyback ECU or a complete ECU. And as for cost I know the IS300 set-up ECU & Intake goes for $1000.00 with about 14-15hp and 15tq (so some have claimed) at the wheels? So are we going to be around that price for this package?

Jeff92se

Can you offer this type of tunable ecus for the older 4-gen and 3-gen maximas? Particularly the 3-gen VE30DE. dohc coil on plug type engines?

WR_LEO

The ECU Comes Pre-programmed from Us.. They are not user programmable.. I have many friends who try to program their cars them selves and become unsuccessful..

What i am looking for is a Car which has an INtake and Exhaust system on it.. Anyone in the bay area intrested lemme know..

Altho.. I am intrested in tuning a Supercharged MAX...
I know i can pull some major power outta a Forced induction vehicle..
But that would be seperate from my project at hand..

I am intrested in making some power for the NA guys...

Thanks guys, for your support..

Someone from the Bay Area....please jump on this!

PRINCE NISMO

The question I have WR_LEO is why would you use a car with and Intake and Exhaust system already on it? Why not use a 5th-GEN that is bone stock as a baseline to compare , so we can see what kind of increases the ECU and Weapon-R intake make seperate and together. A car that already has an aftermarket intake or exhaust system already has some kind of HP advantage over stock , don't you think?

WR_LEO

Actually, If you think about this for a while..
Ponder... eheheh
Well.. you can't get good results off a car that is stock.. their are not any real perameter changes.. Like you need the car to breathe to get an power... And were here for performance not Stock cars..

Why would you wanna increase from stock.. If i tuned the car at stock.. what would happen when peramters change when you drop in a Filter and exhaust.. this is really the main baseline i wanna work from.. most people will get these add on's..

What you need to understand is.. when you get more air into the engine.. the air fuel ratio changes.. and same for when you get an exhaust but not as important as an intake.. So i tune from there..

Leo

This is what I'm interested in. Can you do this for maximas??

The new Weapon*R ECU is a piggyback computer which is
preprogrammed by the Weapon*R Special R&D team INTERCREW.
The staff of Weapon*R fine tune each application to their
fullest potential. This ECU controls the Air / Fuel ratio, Ignition timing,
Rev-Limits, Speed Limits and transmission shift points.
We get gains from 18-30HP and 16-35ft of Torque.
Available for various vehicles..


[Applications For:]
Lexus 1998-00 GS400
Lexus 2000-UP IS300
Lexus 1998-00 GS300
Lexus 2001-UP GS300
Lexus 2001-UP GS430
Toyota 2000-UP MRS


[Coming Soon:]
Acura 2000-UP Cl Type-S
Acura 2001-UP RSX


MSRP: $745.00

PRINCE NISMO

I understand what you are saying, but you said an ECU & Intake package. With a stock car you see the increase of HP using your own Weapon-R intake alone and the gains when the ECU is added. Then I thought you would tune from there for an aftermarket exhaust. I understood the package was to show a gain over stock using your companies intake and ECU? Well anyway I'm still interested hope you get a donor soon.

That is what he plans to do, he just needs a guinea pig.

Jeff92se

iTrader: (82)

He just said, the ecu he's gonna offer is not user-programmable. :shrugs:

WR_LEO

Thanks Prince..
I would tune the car for an intake / Custom Airbox / And ecu ..
I want the car to flow tho.. Need to have exhaust also..

Sorry no user programmability..
we'll on Luxury performance cars.. you wanna drop it in and forget about it.. Our ECu learns.. You don't have to do anything..
It's better than having a big display on your car.. it's simply not classy..

Leo

LoveSick

First of all Leo, why do you want a car with CAI on it?

Can't you just make a brand new Weapon R dragon intake and cold air box for this car and then reprogram the ECU?

I think I really like your filter and the cold air box you have for the IS300.

PhatGuy

Leo: Awesome to see your company's efforts going towards the Maxima. If we can gain power we will buy it at the right price! Once you find a Max in your area just keep us up to date with progress. I hope you are successful!

WR_LEO

Actually that's what i was going to do..
Leo..

Matticus

I want to keep this up at the top, sounds extremely promising. I hope we can find some takers in the bay area. I, like UMD_Maxse live on the "other" bay, Cheasapeke. I will be looking forward to any results.

jinnoh

Damn, I wish back in town right now. If no one has volunteered by the time I get back, I would be glad to volunteer my car for some tests. I have a JWT intake, Stillen Y-pipe, and RT hi flow cat. I hope that combination of mods work for you. As I understand it, the catback doesn't do much for NA 5th gen maxes.

BTW, if you do use my car for tests, would I get a discount on the system when it comes out?

WR_LEO

Hey Jennoh...
I think we should have some time to do this kit when we get Back From SEMA in Las Vegas.. it should be middle of Next month if that works for you..

And yes you will get a discount off the kit price when it is complete.. remember i need the car for a Maximum of 1 week and a minimum of 5 days..

Leo..

P.S. Thanks for the support of the Maxima forum .. You guys are great..

Hey Leo would this same setup work for my 2001 I30t??

Iron Lung

iTrader: (6)

What about the 4th gen?

WR_LEO

I don't know if the ECu programming is the same for the Infinity's and the Max's.. Since i ran into the same problem with the Lexus's
the GS300 and the IS300 share the same motor but different ECU programming.. Go figure.. I would like to cover the New body style Max's..

i'm in the bay, and can go anytime except for from the 25th to 29th of this month.. because i'l be at my grandfather's funeral in taiwan. i am a bay area resident and have a 5th gen maxima.. but the question i want to know is, if, hypothetically, something goes wrong with the ecu tweek, (too lean) and my engine blows, will i be stuck with the bill? or will you guys take care of me??? and do i get to see you guys work on my car, because i work on my car amoungst many other cars myself.

WR_LEO

We should be able to work on your car about November 10th ..
We'll be back from the SEMA show in vegas by then..

1.. we have never blown up a car on the dyno or any at that fact..
We will be tuning with a Lambda for ppl that don't know what that is it's the most accurate Air/fuel ratio checker.. I assure you that we will not have problems like that.. If there is a problem with how your car runs we will not put it for a dyno and it will not be a candidate.. But im sure your car runs good.. We will have to use the car for 1 day to figure out the programming and 1 day to dyno test the ECU.. Also if you would like to go to the dyno and watch us tune no problem..

Leo
