Low End Torque

So I've had my Fujita for around 9 months now and I must say I love it! It's probably the best value intake for our cars. I got mine for $190 shipped which was a steal! I want to know how I can gain back some low end torque lost from the intake. I also have a straight flow through exhaust, so the car feels a little sluggish off the line until you hit 5k RPM.

sounds like you got VTAK














































Actually you should consider getting some Motor mounts... that will help out with the transfer of power.

There are a couple ways to get low end torque. The first is to get ECU reflashed at Technosquare. Nissan builds in minimal torque at low rpms to minimize torque steer. The reflash enhances low end power. The power is the same but there is less mass to move, and therefore better speed off the line.

Get a short ram intake with a heat shield.

Thanks for the responses. Only thing about the reflash is I've heard that after a while the automatics go back to how they were before. I really want to do the reflash but if it goes away after a while, then what's the point?

Not true. The reflash holds.

RESETTING the computer is what ur talking about when it reverts back. REFLASHING changes the parameters of the program and does not revert back.

Thanks for clearing that up! I'm definitely going to look into that!
