2005 maxima ecu chip options?
i was hoping to see if you guys have heard about the 350z tuning specs for the max. its basically the same motor and ive heard from a reliable source the max can produce close to the saem hp numbers. i would liek to hear some new fresh opinions.
----> most hp for the money.
this is starting to look like a really ****ty way to get going guys? im new to the 2005 max can we try and be creative without the whole "dude check the search and like we are the coolest so buzz off man"?
i came here to talk about my 05 max and would liek to start a convo can i get a littel help please? i dont understand why if your not interested in what i am posting why reply? just ignore it and let soem of guys new to this have a discussion.

~Definition of "Tuning" from an Internet search ~
-Tuning is the process of selecting the appropriate genetic operators and their respective parameters to suit a problem.
-The process of adjusting a radio circuit so that it resonates at the desired frequency.
-The Process of Establishing the Desired Frequency of a System
-The process of adjusting all of the working parts to their optimum positions.
-(music) calibrating something (an instrument or electronic circuit) to a standard frequency
As you can see, tuning is basically making an adjustment on something to get it working properly. This certainly applies to our philosophy of ECU tuning.
Automotive manufacturers design and tune their vehicles for general public usage.
To achieve better emissions and performance in today's automobile, the ECU is programmed to function in correlation with the stock condition and specification of the vehicle. Nowadays, factory tuning is done very well in order to get peak performance from the vehicle as its driven off the showroom floor.
However, when you start making modifications with performance parts, the ECU will continue to function as though the vehicle is running stock unless you tell it differently. Common problems are that the vehicle runs too lean/too rich at certain points or even an entire range of RPMs, or there is detonation under certain conditions.
TECHNOSQUARE ECU tuning provides solutions to these problems by making the necessary adjustments to the program and map data. In other words, we tell the ECU how to work with the performance parts installed.
As a result, in many cases, the vehicle gains torque and power from our tuning, however, in some cases, it may lose some in order to gain reliability. This is why when customers ask us "How much gain?" our answer is "We don't know".
Our objective of tuning is to get your engine running well and staying healthy for as long as possible.
The Power is not everything.
The Number is not everything.

I would not do any ECU work till you do the basics IE: CAI/EXHAUST/YPIPE/SPACERKIT
Still cant cant get over how much you just whored...

you guys are a bunch of **** that have no clue... i bet you are all about 12 yrs old. i got lots of pms telling me you guys are gay like this a lot. this website used to be a great place for GROWNUPS that had respect. ive done just about everythign to these cars including supercharges/turbos etc etc and i thought i could open up a decent convo. i guess i was wrong. what a bunch of terrible idiots.
ill go to 6th gens website - seems they are more mature... owned is what 12 yr old gamers use when they kill someone - no one uses that anymore - get good. and god i dont want a freakin tuning class from a 5 year old that was more whoring than i did...

Apparently he was too ignorant to look at any of the links I posted.
Yes, the Z33 engine is essentially the same as our cars and dynos have shown that most FWD VQ35’s will put down more torque than most Z33’s (mildy modded on both accounts). But the Z33 always (typically) has more high RPM power. This is primarily due to its superiorly designed intake manifold (IM). But your question was ECU related, so I’ll focus on that.
The TS (Technosquare) reflash essentially adds a more aggressive timing map to your current map, and also alters the CVTC curve to mimic that of the Z33, which helps down low and midrange power. Since you never click on a link that I provide, I will cut and paste what I’ve posted in other threads just for you
That is what I’ve seen, although my car is a 5.5gen, I have no reason to believe that they do not do the same for the 6th gen.
Also, here are the other links I provided, in plain English:
Happy modding Mr.

Unless otherwise noted, all data is verified via Cipher/OBDII/Consult Interface
CVTC data logs mimic that of a Z33
AFR is 13.0 +/- 0.2 from 2400 - 7100RPM (Verified by an upstream WBO2 sensor prior to any catalytic convertors)
Timing is + 3-4* from stock (Comparing other stock A33B/A34's vs mine)
Rev limiter is verified @ 7100 (Sometimes it bounces to 7130 etc, but you get the point)
Car has seen ~ 138 MPH on the dyno, (Verified using DJ software.

You can do essentially all OBDII functions:
Turn the cooling fans on at will
Adjust BTDC ±2º
Adjust idle ±250
Perform a cylinder pressure test
Fuel pressure test
Reset learned driving parameters
Check ABS codes
UTEC will allow you to tune your cars AFR / timing and a slew of other items (Best choice for you guys IMO).
Also, search the topic on my350z.
SAFCII = Adjust MAF voltage in order to alter AFR, but your ECU is more advanced than older gen Maximas, so I'm not 100% convinced the SAFC works for you since the ECU can learn over its(SAFC) corrections.
Keep in mind, I asked PRJ about Osiris, which is made by UpRev, whom are the same people who make Cipher, but Osiris is different than Cipher, but has yet to be tested on any Maxima.

No need to get your panties in a bunch kid. No need for name calling, if you feel that the other org is more for you then so be it..take care and good luck modding!
wow it takes this to get an answer out of you Fin morons this site is full of terrible idiots... how easy would it have been to just be cool and talk abou tthis tuff instead of acting like a bunch of 12 year old gamers.
Seems like you got about what you originally expected.
