cvt transmission swap

[altima21]

hey guys, i just did a swap from automatic to manual, i changed everything needed from harnesses to mechanical parts but im sort of stuck in the part where the dealer doesnt want to reprogram my ecm to manual and get my keys to work either, and my ecm is manual, idk where to take it or who can do the job , any tip will be helpful

How much did it cost if you don't mind me asking lol ?

[altima21]

i got everything from a salvage altima, everything i needed to do the swap was 1600 plus labor , like 2300 so far, i guess i got lucky

Try contacting UpRev? They specialize in tuning and remaping Nissans and Infinitis right?

[altima21]

where are they located? cuz i live in PA, would i be able to shift my ecm and keys to them so they can program it?

They have independent shops all over the country. They put your car on a dyno and hook up the ECU, see where the curves for torque and horsepower are, then let you tune it how you like, storing up to 3 different tunes in the ECU (I asked about it at the local shop near me, they said htey normally do gas saver, performance, and balance) which are selected by a sequence on the steering wheel controls. They might be able to get it up and running, but I was quoted $400 for the tune, then $200 additional for the license to retune if I add new performance parts on the engine. Call around and see what they can do for you.

It is a full custom tune meant to take full advantage of YOUR motor and aftermarket parts. It isn't an off the shelf tune like some, they pull the ROM from your vehicle, crack it and remap it, then flash it back to the ECU. At least this was my understanding from speaking with them and from other forum posts. I never got it done because I planned on more mods, and wanted the tune to take advantage of them, but life hit and neither happened
