lol, why are you so secretive? What's to gain by that?

Anyway, I looked at the Bullydog manual once again and I can see why I skipped through this part since it was closer to the end of the manual and this thing is pretty generic in covering a broad array of vehicles;
Wide Open Throttle Disable (WOT)

Wide open throttle refers to a throttle position governor placed on stock Nissan vehicles. It limits the driver from using 100% of the vehicle throttle from 0-40mph. Bully Dog's Wide Open Throttle feature will remove this governor from the vehicle.

WARNING: using this vehicle option is at the risk of the vehicle owner.

Bully Dog recommends that this feature be used for drag racing purposes only and should only be used on a designated drag race vehicle on a sanctioned drag racing track. Removing Wide Open Throttle will place added stress on the drive train components, Bully Dog will not be held responsible for damages incurred as a result of the use of this feature.
Also, I did some searching and found this thread dealing with WOT;
post4981627.html?hilit=wot#p4981627

All of this is making me think this is not exactly related to the CVT persay but all Nissan vehicles and that the CVT is limiting throttle separately and can't be controlled by turning WOT on. I just wish I had a little more knowledge on the issue to begin with.

And I just read through the thread again. Unsure if you have a 6MT or CVT?

I'm calling BS on that unless you provide a dyno chart and proof that it's your car's dyno run. Over 320whp is a far stretch for an N/A 3.5 unless you are seriously bored out and have basically upgraded all the internals. If you are telling the truth you really don't have a good reason to be so secretive.

Also how are you even measuring the 3000mi oil life??? Are you doing an oil analysis everytime, are you just looking at color, are you just changing it when you 'feel' like its different?

This is a very suspicious thread. Like a 14 yr old decided to jump on the forums and pretend like they have all of this stuff.

Yeah, SFR states that the turbo on CVT @ 5psi was 320whp/400crank. Interesting.

I don't know, I've never heard of oil being changed like this, by what you say your oil is burning up as if it was alcohol in the tank. Also I do believe 320whp is possible because my shop is projecting my car to be round 350whp, but it's not promised nothing is for sure until the dyno is ran. Also, dude I don't like talking about how much i spend on my car, but dude unless you've done like me and have had your whole engine rebuild, full exhaust redone (and I'm not talking about just like oh I'm on nismo.com ording s***, I mean like special built and test to max performance to your car), air intake, plugs, injectors, every limiter on your car turned off, specialized torque converter so your s*** don't blow up, rebuilt manifold, god I'm stopping, the likely hoods of you reaching 320whp which is what like 360-370 total at the flywheel? Is highly unlikely, and one more thing I do know, your not turbo'd because if you was a bulldog wouldn't f*** your car up being that they're modded for NON TURBO CARS and without the turbo, unless you have a new engine or rebuilt one like I wrote before 320whp is unobtainable, sorry not talking s*** just stating facts.

ok yes i do have a worked block custom heads custom ground cams and stroker kit im just secretive cuz ive been copied before with my former car a jetta 2.0 turbo and i dont want it happening again i make 327 whp i will provide dyno charts im not here to brag im doing u guys a favor and spending my money to review parts for u guys so u dont have to spend money on them if there no good and u come on here and doubt me ive met a few members off this forum and theyve seen my car and what it can do if you all wanna hate i can just stop reviewing parts and just go on with tuning my car to be the fastest it possibly can that how i do it if u wanna be a prick and try to call me a liar u can just ignore the thread and go away cuz your not doing anyone a favor so if you wanna keep running your mouth go find another thread cuz youll just be ignored from now on im not here for you im here for everyone else who wants to know if they should buy the parts or not so grow up and wait for the next review which is coming soon as my packages from stillen have shipped today

I wasn't exactly questioning your claims here. Sure it's feasible to get to that whp without a turbo, just takes a lot of work and I guess the thing that was getting me is the secretive part. I guess I'll just never understand the mindset behind being afraid of someone doing to their car what you did to yours. I mean, honestly, WHO CARES if some random dude 1,000 miles away does the same stuff. How is that harming you? lol, just will never understand getting all butthurt over it.

Anyway, back to the WOT in relation to CVT, if anyone else can shed some light on this, it would be cool.

I havnt been questioning claims either, i'm just simply asking questions pertaining to the thread lol

i too am interested in WOT for the cvt or the 6spd and which would 'last' longer. having a manual, we've tested that most mods for our cars clearly work better w/ the 6spd than the cvt, especially major engine mods that strain the trany.

would the WOT still do the same damage to the car on a 6spd than with the cvt?? (over time)

on a side note- i go 2k-2500 miles per oil change... i never really have probs, but i like to change it. esp on the 2.5 and i gun it... a good amount :P so keeping it fresh is in my mind a lot, also used w/ non-ethanol gas, and esp after the BD tune, i'll prob be keeping close to 91 octane instead of 89 as i usually do

I'm always at 93 here but I run Mobile One Sythetic. Although even when I was running normal oil I never did oil changes that frequently (More like every 3-4k), just not necessary unless you were ragging the living crap out of your car?

And on WOT, from what I gather on that link I put up, it's for all vehicles. All have some kind of threshold percentage wise. I'm just starting to believe the throttle for CVT is something completely different and not related to the WOT setting BD has.

I still need to test it, just need to get some time this weekend to reflash my ECU.

im running quaker state hp full syn 93 octane bp or sonoco only and im just secretive cuz it bothers me i like to be unique and do stuff no one else has i get the oil changed at sts my friend works there and cuz of the nature of my mods and the money i spent getting it done im not gonna waste it so we change it at 3k just to be safe cuz my new block is prone to heating quicker then the old one which i am also tuning for another project that doesnt quite fit on this forum or site wink wink just working out alot of kinks in that one cuz its not even going in a nissan its going in a ford truck with 2 turbos lol but im not gonna get into that

So it's all black project huh? Did the government install some kind of quantum flux capacitor onto your car? When can we go back to 1985? I miss it. Is it above top secret? What level of clearance do I need? :laugh:

I only run 93 as well but I use regular oil every 3k. I must say this is a very interesting thread...... Ps altima 5507 are you east coast or west? I may have missed this but Im assuming you are 6MT correct?

Notorious D-i think he said he has a cvt

as for what Loop said- i agree lol esp when the best transmission mod u could do atm is the hlsd swap. in a finalizing look, mehdi did a lot of stuff and just realized he was trying to turn the car into something its not (made for). yeah its fwd, but some ppl want the satisfaction of being different. understandable.

with this difference, altima5507 has told us he is afraid of being 'copied' when in actualization and in my opinion, duplication/imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. ppl have only talked about swapping internals on the uprev VQ's, and heres a guy thats gone and done it, and wont explain the true factors. personally, you come to a forum to inform others, and teach others about what they can do as well. people doing things and learning from it or their mistakes. being copied shouldnt be a concern because eventually others will find the balls to do it too.

if hes doing the internals, and boreing, one can only assume he is eventually going to turbo, otherwise prepwork like this would just sorta... go to waste.

the bullydog for example is for use with a stock motor with each minor and subtle differences. you can rework some obstacles with it, but he also mentioned a cross of remapping/reflashing the ECU. if you have the BD tuner, u shouldnt need to do that because in realization, thats what the BD is doing. most likely will get rid of it after a while. esp after a turbo.

the oil cooler is the sorta the same, unless hes using the car on a track or lives in a super hot area, or turboing his car, the oil cooler will only do so much to a semi stock engine. for the price, you dont just add this to a car without proper significance or thought that you are going to overheat your engine. ~plus this isnt a honda v-tec where oil is the primary cause of the car's power at higher ranges. the CVTCS has to do with the air forced into the engine through the manifold and additional inlets. so the oil cooler can only benefit with towing or forced induction.

this isnt a final rant on altima5507, this is just my particular take on the situation. and me having a 2.5, clearly his mods in particular do not effect me, but knowing more information helps identify different properties that others can use to their advantage. not everyone does upgrades like this unless they are serious which is my personal take on this as well. just knowing more of the story helps us ALL learn about what the cars can do and where testing can lead. i dont see the point of holding things back because in the next year we will most likely see a handful of ppl do this anyways.

anywho... resume :) lol

this is what is confusing to me.

All then money spent on changing the internals and you are tuning it with the bd tuner. That thing is garbage compared to actual dyno tuning. With cams and a stroker kit dont you think some real tuning would be better and more beneficial?

the comp was never reflashed on the car internals and block are not stock although intake mani is its gonna be changed soon had a custom one made after lookin at the kinetix one for older altima only problem only one guy can build it and hes backed up on other cars the car is my toy i drive a ford f150 for work its mainly for autocross/road race its an ongoing project took alot of time and planning to get this one right i will one day give all my mods out but not now i do have a cvt and dont plan on adding anymore power besides what ive ordered next plan lighten car to gain speed the stroker kit ive added was made for a 350z so thatll give u more hints as to what i have and its not a crazy 4.0 stroker its a mild one ive been dropping hints so u can sorta figure it all out will actually present car at future show this summer in englishtown nj im from nj and by this winter ill give a full list of my parts as well as mods needed to some of them to get them to work in this car dont think everything just drops in it doesnt and most likely after this summer the car will become a trailer queen and i plan on buying a 370z and the car will be racing at giant staduim during the autocross in a couple weeks so if u wanna get a sneak peek of it let me know and well meet up there and youll get a look at it at play lol

i think thats great for you good job seriously use periods im not sure you know this but the bully dog has been around for a while commas are your friend too plus i dont think the wot is like launch control on the gtr where you have to service the transmission semicolons are rad as well you shouldnt have to change your oil after three wot runs thats just silly talk i hear apostrophes are in season its been discussed that the wot removal is mainly for trucks so they dont blow out their trannys dashes are also acceptable your engine does sound impressive though
