That one guy... OCTOPUSS or something has a MT 2.5 I think.

Hope he sees this. I think I have his e-mail saved.

I just emailed them about working on my CVT, so we will see what they say. Makes sense to do a CVT re flash considering there are alot more CVT's than MT's

Do you guys realize what is gonna take to flash an ecu that works in conjunction with a keyless entry and start system. Its gonna take some crazy programming. I have my doubts they can even do it.

I also think its a bad idea to mess with the cvt ecu at all. Over revving this transmission could prove disastrous.

they have been for the last 8 months or so... i've already contacted them repeatedly (spoke with the lead mechanic or something like that several times, i have his name if needed) in regards to my car and they have no interest in the CVT... only the 3.5 MT will do.

i think they want to try it out on the MT first and then possibly mimic the same tune onto the CVT? as for the 2.5, they haven't mentioned wanting to do anything for the 2.5...

I contacted them and offered them my 3.5 MT. They've accepted, but I'm deployed right now... trying to find someone who will pull the ECU out of my car and mail it to them...

I found someone to pull the ECU and send it to Technosquare. But the guy who's pulling my ECU wants a step-by-step guide on pulling the ECU... I'm searching for one, anyone know where I can find one? Looking at the 2007 Altima forums right now...

It shouldnt be difficult to pull if you have minimal mechanics skills. But im curious how they will know how it works in the car, if they dont have the car there for testing.

they don't need the car, they specialize in vq3ede tunning

so they are just going to apply there default upgrades and run some simulations

FEATURES:

REV limiter modificationWe found that with the ECU upgrade, more power can be gained with a higher rev limiter. A 7100 RPM (stock 6600 RPM) rev limit is set to take advantage of top end horsepower, while still providing a safe protection for the motor.

Speed Limiter RemovalThe stock speed limiter of 236 km/h (148 mph) has been removed.

Ignition Timing Map AdjustedThere wasn’t much room for improvement at the bottom end since the ECU retards a lot of timing by using a feed back system in stock trim. So, we have added more timing at the mid range - high end to take additional advantage of higher-octane gasoline. This aids in improving torque from 3000 rpm and up.

Fuel Map AdjustedStock fuel was set to detune the top end horsepower. We discovered that the car runs extremely rich after 5000 rpm. Air to Fuel ratio (A/F) of 10.8 was found right before the stock rev limiter kicks in. Cleary, Nissan was trying to detune the power output at higher rpm to discourage the driver from hitting the rev limiter. For the performance enthusiasts, however, this is unsatisfactory, so we set the A/F to 12.5 all the way to redline to provide adequate power gain while still maintaining a safe margin.

Drive By Wire AdjustmentThrought our testing we found, the drive by wire system was program to never fully open (throttle flap) when you smash the accelerator pedal. In fact, it actually closes the closer you get to the rev limiter, by as much as 20%. This restricts air into the motor and causes HP and Torque numbers to go down. We have remapped this setup so when you go wide open throttle, the throttle flap fully opens and STAYS OPEN, increasing HP and Torque.

Adding to above modifications, a few other adjustments were made to other maps to enhance the feedback function which improves power, torque and drivability. The resulting achievement is a remarkable improvement in driving feel, which is more than what numbers alone can tell you. We are very satisfied with the results and are proud to release our TECHNOS ECU for this tuning-challenged ECU.

(Fig.Bosch Dyno Result)~15 HP Gain at the Crank in stock rim

Changed air intake systemOne of the major problems on this car was a feedback system that compensates for modifications. The oxygen sensors detects fuel mixture and will tell the ECU to richen up or lean out the mixture. This correction factor was way too wide, so some performance components upgrades (intake, exhaust) would actually result in a loss of HP below stock!We adjusted the correction factor to reduce that compensation reaction. Our tests showed consistent power and torque improvement following installation of an intake system.

More testing results coming soon!

my stock rev limiter is 6900, and my top speed is 155mph, so they will need to do a lil different tuning. That info sounds like its from the 3rd gen altimas.

And I did get an email back, and they said that they will need the car after the initial 2 weeks to get the ECU programmed

so whose vehicle's ecu is being sent to technosquare?

and will the same tuning apply to us CVTs? did we get any clarification on that yet?
