Yup because you'd need to hack your way into the TCM in order to tell the CVT to rev higher, sorry CVT guys!brakthru wrote:Hi guys,
I have the powerpup for my 07" 3.5 altima cvt and it does increase performance and gas mileage. I can increase the base idle to 1k and timing at least 2 degrees. MY base timing starts at -2 degrees according to the device so I can actually go up to +2 degrees which would be 4 total. The premium tune gives the most power. I'm not sure how much but it takes off about 3 tenths of a second on my 0-60 time. Maybe more if I did not lose so much back pressure with this still cat back. The only draw back I have with the powerpup is you can not change the REV LIMITER ON THE CVT. I have spoken with bulley dog on numberous occasions and they say the power pup tunes the ecu not the tranny. The TRIPLE DOG GT AND THE POWER PUP have the exact tuning programs/function. You just get the monitoring features with the GT so you will not get your REV LIMIT changed with either device according to bully dog. Also, their is no wide open throttle restriction on our cars according to nissan and bully dog. This feature was intended for the trucks. When we step on the pedal, throttle should already be wide open. The feature will not be inabled on the GT or Powerpup. However, you will get a little extra power. Hopes this helps.

Why can't you do that?rjdmmfl1 wrote:also, we can't adjust the tire size for the speedometer... sucks again
I had the same issue so i contacted Bullydog, and the tech had to design a file specific to my ecu. Each car is different, so just contact them. I got the file within 24 hrs, downloaded it to my pc, then uploaded to the BD Update Agent, plugged it up to the coupe and it's been golden since thenDatalux wrote:Install was fine (pretty clean actually) but the download is not working. Device can read function of vehicle just fine but after 3 tries at the download I get 45 min of READING ENGINE XX% and after it hits 100% it gives an error code and says that it needs to be updated. Connecting to the PC is no joy as the BD Update Agent doesn't seem to see it or provide anything to update. It comes up in USB mode and says to hit 2 key to exit USB mode. Leaving it in USB or not makes no difference as the Update Agent does not recognize it.
I'm loading the 07.5-09 vehicle on the device, I am updating the GT tuner which loads into memory just fine but the download keeps failing with the same error... <Sigh> Any thoughts Rob?

+1. I see that a couple people have gotten it but I haven't really seen anyone give a review or any type of orBigDankCloud wrote:So, those with the tuner.... what are your initial impressions.
That's a bummer. Let us know how it goes with getting the modified file from Bullydog.Datalux wrote:Install was fine (pretty clean actually) but the download is not working.

Starting to sound like an OBDII reader that tells you how to drive less agressively.
