what effects does this have on the 3.5 cvt speed limiter. Does it actually keep pushing past 100mph? i dont have the tuner and my car starts to slow down drastically at about 110 and just stops at almost 130. is this cuz of the cvt or does the tune take care of it?

If anyone hasn't gotten a programmer yet or is looking for a good deal.

I found the Power Pup programmer 44590 for $343.99 at http://www.streetsideauto.comthe price on the site is $373.99 then you can use coupon code CAMARO for $30 OFF and FREE Shipping. Which bings the price to $343.99

OR

I also found another pretty good deal at http://www.autoanything.com they sell it for the same price $373.99 then you can use coupon code WELCOME and get 10% OFF (which equals $37.40 OFF) and FREE shipping. Which brings the price to $336.59

Not too bad of a price if you missed out on the group buy price.....But just to clarify this is for the Power pup programmer not the GT programmer.

Since they both do the same as far as programming/tuning functions and the GT only adds monitoring capabilities (driving coach and drag tree) I don't see a point to getting that version. Since, I don't want it plugged in all the time and it could attracts theives looking like a gps. I just want to program and go.....

Anyway just thought I would post what I found for those interested.

The GT slides right off and you can put it in your pocket if you like.

Right now Autoanything.com has them for 399.49 but there is a coupon code for $50 off $399 or more so it comes out to be 349.49 and has free shipping

the coupon code is ST50

LOL! Awww man...sadly, I've gotten rid of the coupe... It wasn't even remotely practical enough. My wife started shooting with me last summer so the amount of gear we have to carry just doubled. We also just built a house so having something with a little more cargo capacity makes us considerably less stressed. I've got other reasons for offloading the coupe, but I'm planning on writing a lengthy post explaining my reasons. Long story short, there's a mint-condition classic Z in my very near future...

I LOVED the Power Pup as it was likely the best bang-for-the-buck performance mod available. Here's hoping someone else will make great use of it!

Imma smack youz! The Altima was both the daily driver and my "fun" car. The new ride has adopted the practicality role, and the Z will be pure sh!ts n' giggles for me in the summer!

Thanks again ESP. :bigthumb:

All hooked up and got the error that my ECU was not found. Quick call to Bully Dog and a new program (ECU JA01A) was sent to my email (took them 5 minutes maybe to send it). Uploaded to the power pup, rehooked up to the car and downloaded the program. All in all, takes about 30 min to do, change the parameters and your done. I used the regular tune with no other changes for my first fill up.

Initial butt dino results, feels quicker, best thing is the pedal response. I don't know if anyone else's car feels like it bogs down before the cvt kicks in. Now, the car literally goes when you barely touch the pedal. I know the power pup doesn't touch the drive by wire but car feels more responsive. Mid range pulls harder and car feels faster in the manual mode.

Very happy with the purchase and do recommend the product to all with the 2.5 for sure.

im sellin mine for 250, it comes with all the stuff plus an upgraded memory stick, when i first got it the stick was bad, so i went out and bought a 2 gig for 250 and just transferred the files over.

I don't mind shipping, i just didn't want anything to break because of how people treat them when they are delivering it you know

Hey,

I tried reading through the thread but thers wayyyy too much! I just need to know a few things ina condensed, unbiased manner. (3.5SE 6MT Altima coupe 2008)

1) Does it increase the redline?
2) Does it remove the max speed?
3) Does it remove the throttle control at high speeds? (100% throttle even past 120mph or whatever the speed)


I'm asking other 6MT V6 Altima couper's!
