Nissan ECU guru advice
I know there are some Nissan ECU ninjas on this site so I wanted to ask a few questions as I am confused as the best route. Looking to help a guy on his 240sx. It has a KA24DE engine that he put a turbo on. Right now it is running 450cc DSM injectors off of SAFC neo. The car needs to be chipped so this is where my question is. Would Tuner pro be a good route to go with? I have heard a rumor that someone has figured out speed density with these cars. Does anyone have a really good XDF file to tune with? I was thinking of going this route with a consult of some sort (have no idea which one). I have 2 ostriches so I can do real time tuning. Just not sure how to get this all set up as I am very new to Nissans. Any help with the best route to go with as far as hardware and software for the car would be very helpful. I have read many forums but I just get bogged down with information. The guy doesn't have a lot of money so I thought that this would be the cheapest and most reliable way. Thanks for any help or advice.

I have thought about this already but I would really like to avoid doing this because of all the work involved.JaredKaragen wrote:If you can mount a Honda distributor to your cam, you open a world of possibilities... I myself am not keen on Nissan ecu's but I do know that you can make the Honda controls work on other motors/makes.
I deal with a lot of DSM's so MAF's are not my favorite thing. But about nistune boards: Can you set me up where I do not have to buy a realtime board and can use my ostrich's to tune with, then just burn some chips? Kinda like use the board that Moates sells with an individual license from you? Just trying to save this guy some money because he will never need to make changes to anything himself and I already have the hardware. I guess I would also need the consult cable too. Sorry about so many questions, I guess I should call or email. Thanks.

depends which ECU you have.. only some of them take a standard 28pin chip.. other don't, thats why they make the boards, to fit all the different style ECUs. DSM Mafs are crap.. Nissan MAFs work well. I've done several 400+ HP Nissans. SRs KAs 300Zs.. Take pics of the ECU, Cover, Inside top, Inside Bottom and I'll make a list of what your'll need.

Yes the car is near Martinsville, and I have been looking into what Moates offers (as I have previously mentioned) but this does not solve the software issue which it looks like it is going to be Nistune. I have an XDF file for tunerpro, but with the setup on the car, I would feel much better with something a bit more thorough with integrated datalogging and such. Btw Bugermass, I looked at the ECU and it looks the same as what Nistune has for the type 3 board as per this link: http://www.nistune.com/docs/NIStune_Typ ... _Sheet.pdf it has the 20+20 through hole section.

When I was interested in using a chipped ecu and a couldnt find a tuning software I run across bikirom.com I have heard some people talk about a recent system thats designed in the united states which they said go to calumsult.com. Maybe this will help.
Thinking about working on my car seems to be what i do, but never do.
http://eccs.hybridka.com/ this is what i was looking at to learn to tune nissans they got some good info this is the software here is a download link for the software http://www.hybridka.com/misc/romeditorE.zip the forum seems to have some good stuff I live near martinsville i know some guys in martinsville, they where talking about this car i think.
