It's a good thing you think this way. Enthalpy won't even tune a 370cc injector setup. He told me "Your turbo is too small and your injectors are too small. It's not worth my time to tune for your setup."

Since then, I refuse to correspond with that guy.

You need to get with DeviousKA on this forum. He's VERY knowledgable and can tune your setup. However, he's also incredibly busy, so don't be offended if you don't get a response from him for a while. But you won't ever find him being just plain rude to you for no aparent reason.

He was quite rude to me about mine, because I wasn't using the standard T3/T04E or T3 super 60 at the time. He insisted that since I wasn't going to make more than about 230whp, it wasn't worth his time and trouble to even bother with it.

Doesn't really matter, now. I have a much better setup anyway.

DEVIOUS IS QUIET BUZZY LATELY, try bikiboard.

Enthalpy doesn't want to tune it cuz he is buzzy as hell with regular stuff.He pretty much just reburns tunes he previosly made, so u not having a standart turbo he doesn't have a cfm map for it and wouldn't be able to send u right tune, and if he sends something close and you don't like it he will have a bad rep

Making a mistake and then fixing it doesn't give you a bad rep.

Making a mistake and NOT fixing it does. Also, just saying, "No, I don't have time for your 'little' setup" gives you a bad rep.

Imagine calling AMS and talking to Chris or Ivan (two of the busiest men you'll find in the automotive industry) and them both telling you, "Sorry, I don't have time to talk to you about the parts you need for your build, because it's not the normal parts order we get all the time."

Kinda puts it in perspective, huh?

I'm not trying to hurt the Enthalpy market, just puttin' my view out there. I'll end the threadjack here.

BikiRom is good, too, especially with the nice USB connection. But I'd bet the biki guy (BillKlineV?) is no less busy or "other occupied" than Devious.

HybridKA (DeviousKA) daughterboard with onboard switching. Has multiple map storage, setup for 2-step/flatshift launch control.

I'll post up some results and data later, but not after I report them to Devious first (it's a beta-test deal, so to speak). Look for some reviews around the middle or end of August, at which time I'll have some track times and such to report.

Don't get me wrong, Scott (Enthalpy) is good at what he does. He puts out tuned ECU's that are far better than JWT ever thought about. I will NEVER say his product is bad, per se.

You need to visit eccs.hybridka.com

You'll find the basics of how a Nissan ECU works, shared tunes, etc. There are daughterboards for sale, with instructions on how to install and tune. It's very resourceful and you'll find that it's just not worth paying $500 to have someone else tune your stuff, especially when they limit the system parameters for you.
