At this point I'm not sure that I will be doing a back to back dyno with it.

Ok, figured I'd give my input of Matts tuning on the stock ecu......
Its awesome. Just plain awesome.
My car is a full bolt 02 3.5 6-speed.
Along with getting the tune...I upgraded to the VHR injectors and Dougs 4" intake with velocity stack.
All I can say is this think rips. I mean it ran great before..but now....power delivery is smoother, stronger, and just makes the car a better daily.
I will have to get vid eventually.
Oh and about that rev limit raise...yea..shes nasty...not just nasty...she thug nasty Haha
For anyone on the fence about this...dont wait..just doooooo it. Saves the hastle of wiring in a piggy back, and then taking the time to tune, and blah blah blah...so for someone with just a bolt on car..this is well worth the money.
Only other thing left for me is now a 3" catback, 75mm tb and a 7th gen swap. hehe
Vids to come to the thread soon.......

Appreciate the feedback, good to hear.
Nice vid! So this is with the upgraded injectors and 4" intake, correct? And stock exhaust? what headers/ypipe combo is in the vid?
I've been waiting for all my goodies to come back from Doug so I can get the 4" intake ecu flash.

Full NWP Thermal Spacer kit,
NWP Vias Delete
OBX Headers with somekind 2.5" Ebay Catback
Dougs 4" Intake with 7" Stack
JWT Flywheel with 350Z Clutch
VHR Injectors
And Matts Tuning
3" catback is going on tomorrow.
Still want to get a 75mm throttle body, and maybe a 7th gen swap later down the road.
Curious to see the improvements with the 3" because I know they are there...when I get some extra $$$ throttle body will be the last bolt on before I ponder the 5.7 swap. Unless the motor grenades across the road before then haha

^^nice, cool thanks for the info. My setup will be pretty much identical to yours when I finally get it all installed.
Did you go with Doug's ssim too? I assume no because you didn't list it, but curious if that makes a difference at all in the performance after the tuning/ecu upgrade.
I think it's pretty unlikely that you're gonna grenade the engine on a n/a setup, but idk maybe u crazy driver lol....just don't forget to change the oil haha

The thought of the 7th gen hr tuned and rev limited to 8k just sends chills down my spine. Just need to throw in some arp rod bolts first and.....vroommm

^^wait a little bit until Darren gets his new & upgraded hr cams figured out and tested! ![EEK!](https://maxima.org/forums/images/smilies/eek.gif)
also curious.....and sorry it's kind of off-topic but since this ecu upgrade increases the rev limit......is there a way to get a gauge cover/face that shows the redline at the higher level? are there other car brands that might have a higher rev limit and could be swapped in? Just thinking it would be cool to have the rpm gauge face show the new red line limit.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awEj4pg2TQc Is this the OP?
I've been working on definitions for Nissan ecus since I started flashing these a while back.
If you listen to the video and look at the links it explains most everything, along with posts I have made on facebook and elsewhere.
BTW I don't think that video works here for whatever reason.
#180
With the good parts on a de you're looking between 10-20 whp generally. The big difference is of course all the power you gain under the curve(30tq/hp+ in many areas due to the horrible stock tuning.)
#181
!
Someone actually went and figured out flashing our ECUs? That's awesome! ![Sad Dance](https://maxima.org/forums/images/smilies/hs.gif)
murphys_law, if you are still doing this, I'm very interested!
On a side note, I'm disappointed I didn't see this earlier. The 5th gen forums are full of soo many useless maintenance threads, I haven't been on here in a while.
