UPDATED NICO ECU INFO.

[breichert]

Where can I plan for and purchase the new NICO ECU for my 94 Q45a?

[elwesso]

sometime in september or october. I will announce when they are back up

[captainluigi]

when will we see a ecu mod for the 96Q????? why must the 96 always seem to be the neglected one?? living on small islands greatly reduces oppurtunities for sustained hi-speed driving. a few bridges afford the chance for adrenalin pumping 2nd & 3rd gear red line. of course there is ALWAYS a FHP on the other side so i gotta go fast quick, brake quicker and always, always wave and smile.

Are the ECU's available yet? I need one for a 94Q Active

[elwesso]

Not yet, looking like next year sometime. Plan on after the holidays as the earliest.

[Q45tech]

You should set up a sliding price scale based on delivery time.

7 days = $450, 30 days $350, 60 days $250 all in advance.

Can you guys send me a reply when you start doing ECUs, my friend and i just got a parts car and want to send the ECU in (between the ECUandTCU) what kind of performance we talkin THANKS!!!!!!!

[nimbyfaygo]

Is this still going on? I would be interested in getting an ECU program.

[elwesso]

im working on doing this again shortly, i have some other details to work out before I can get it online though.

[qsiguy]

Yes, I am about ready for an updated ECU. I only have one program in mine and I'd like the multi-map unit. I need one map for boost if you guys have one figured out yet....or am I going to have to go visit Robert so he can do some experimenting when I get the turbo installed?

[elwesso]

ok, sounds good... We have a boost map and we can get that done for you... it will be conservative so you wont blow your motor up (as long as you dont exceed 400-450HP)

[qsiguy]

That's what I'll be looking for. Shooting for 5-7 PSI

[konatown]

I'll be in the market for stage 2 and/or 3 in just a month or so.Wabash College really has broken my bank

[chomer]

Are the NICO ECU's still available? And (I haven't check the wiring diagrams), but would it be possible to use the seat heater switches or TCS switches to control the program that is being run?

you could do it but we're not going to design it so..... Youll have to modify that yourself.

[chomer]

Design for the switches? Ok.

How about the ECUs? And are the stuff on FleaBay knock offs?

[elwesso]

we're going to make another run on ECUs... Right now the way im doing it is I have to find a bunch of cores.... So if you guys have spare core ECUs we can work out a deal.....

Pricing is going to be a bit more expensive mainly because we arent doing them in as much quantity as we did last time.. My plan is to just have the ECU's handy, and then when someone wants one it'll already be ready.

[TXCumtrensh]

Im with alot of people, PLEASE start researching 97+ Y33 ecu's!

We need a hookup too!

We've concluded it cant be done....

Wes, I already told Robert, but i have a '90 core that i will donate.

[elwesso]

Excellent, thank you Jay!!!

[ponzy]

i am not a speed freak or whta so ever, but i've got some real nice noob question.... what is/are preliminary set-up or modification you need before you jump into NICO ECU's? pls. let us know..... thanks

[elwesso]

your car has to be in acceptable condition as follows:

Must be firing on 8 cylindersmust have good knock sensorsmust have a properly operating cooling systemmust run 93 octane at all times

thats all i can think of now...

[ponzy]

the first two: firing 8 injectors/ KS will be ok when i'm done with my plenum job,; it's always 93(BP AMOCCO)--- NJ/NY area on my tank.... im not sure with the cooling system (BG-flush????)? how would you know if you have a good cooling system? (no leaks/replaced old hoses?) is there any special modification for that?

i think i'm qualified for that... can i jump in?

[Q45tech]

A good cooling system is one that never allows the coolant temp to get above 196-200F on the hottest summer day with AC on full in bumper to bumper traffic.

Leaning the mixture to increase power stresses the cooling system, since a overly rich acceleration mixture is part of the cooling system design.

Non burned evaporated gasoline cools the exhaust valves and cats.

The ecu uses coolant temp to start the summer/age protective mode decreasing timing advance when ~~200F is reached.

Few 6+ year old radiators comply due to oxidation on fins and degraded surround seals.

[ponzy]

so, a never been changed radiator from '94q need to be replaced to prep for the ecu?

thanks for the reply dennis....

[ponzy]

and.......can an aftermarket radiator for q45 provide a good working cooling system?

[maxnix]

So, since I don't recall.....does Robert always remove the top speed limiter from all his ECU?

There has been some sucess, search for a few threads in Infiniti Online Mechanic
