Yes, I've searched.

Not sure which tuning option would be better for my SR.

• CP Pistons
• Brian Crower Stage 2 Cams
• HKS Valve Spring Retainers
• ISIS header
• Spectre Air Intake
• Chromoly Retainers
• Garrett T2871R
• Megan 3" Downpipe
• Greddy Underdrive Pulleys
• Koyorad Big Radiator
• HDI Big Intercooler
• HKS SSQV BOV
• Stock 370cc fuel injectors [Obviously need to upgrade, how big do I need to go?]
• Minor port and polished head
• Aeromotive 340lph fuel pump
• Z32 MAF

Debating between Nistune and an RS-Enthalpy tune.

nistune. so you can change it later when that GT2871 doesn't give the kick you're looking for

FourtyKid

So how easy is it to tune it? Do I need a performance shop to do it?

if you know how to tune no.

if you can learn how to tune no.

street tuning really isn't that hard.

you need a few things :
wideband
a way to monitor knock
laptop
a friend to make adjustments on the fly ( it's sooo much easier then logging, tuning, logging tuning logging tuning )

You haven't searched shit man. You don't even know if you need a shop to tune Nistune?? No man, you do it all via Microsoft Word...

Unless you just want to be spoon fed there is no need for this waste of space.

I can understand if it was two options in the same ball park. Your asking if you should get a $300 rom tune or a $300 daughter board installed in you ecu then tuned by someone that will most likely charge an average of $200/ hour and will take 2 to 3 hours minimum.

Should I wear a t shirt or a tank top tomorrow??

OrangeVirus1

200$ an hour that is getting raaaaped. i know a legit shop that charges 60$/hour tuning

FourtyKid

This is why I hate Zilvia. Everyone is an asshole. I just wanted to know what would be best for my specific setup. I have a friend that'll tune it for next to nothing, so yes, they are in the same ballpark.

Oh, and T shirt. Tank tops are for women, quidos, and white trash.

You hate Zilvia due to people like you being stupid and crying about having to scroll through search results rather than get a one line answer like your expecting. Google that shit next time.

Your friend is tuning it, yet you ask us if you should tune it?

Your specific setup is nothing special. It's an sr20 with bolt ons. And once again a basic search would have given you enough info that you would still be reading and learning right now rather than bitching about the fact that noone bottle fed you..

I hate people like you who get all butt hurt when your not spoon fed. Jesus man just search.

Ultimately it is WHAT YOU WANT. There is no right or wrong way to do it. Maybe you shouldn't be building an engine period if you don't contain such basic knowledge.

FourtyKid

Yeah, you're cool, and I've met some really cool people here, mostly buying and selling, but the general community is mostly made up of jerks obsessed with "searching".

Jerks obsessed with not bottle feeding the community of dumb fucks who think they are too good to search. Are you above it for some special reason?

It saves space and the fact that if someone searches info on tunes this stupid shit pops up rather than valuable info THAT WOULD HAVE ANSWERED YOUR QUESTION IF YOU WOULD HAVE SEARCHED IN THE FIRST PLACE.

wangan_cruiser

i hate people like you who dont know how to search and asking to get spoon fed.

plain and simple

Dousan_PG

I say pfc djetro
Buy ones cry once
U can still street tune and maybe get it dyno to fine tune it

I've been on zilvia since ~2000 (pre board overhaul in 2002). The newbs and beginner questions never go away fellas
Spoon fed? Yeah that's been on zilvia and fa since forever

I wouldn't call his setup basic SR20 with bolt on's.. the engine has been beefed, head work, pistons etc.

and He wasn't asking to be spoonfed he is just asking some god damn mother fucking opinions about tuning solutions.
If you can't add to the conversation then why the fuck even post. I tell you what I have tried searching on this forum aswell and NOBODY wants to search through 100 fucking pages to find an answer, with 20-30 threads per page, and just HOPING that thread you clicked has what you are looking for.

If I search SR20 tuning, I would be searching for 5+hours before I got any good information.

Let's all just turn Zilvia into a Search website like Nissan-google and nobody posts shit.

4nmscle

If I had a dollar for everytime someone called you a fucking idiot I would be rich. Pretty sure several people have your stupid ass quoted for humorous signatures.

And no, we would all talk about the shit THAT CAN'T BE FOUND BY DOING A BASIC SEARCH.





What color car is best???

OrangeVirus1

Yeah.. if Rich to you is like 4$..

I just searched " SR20 tuning" And I got a whole bunch of Shit, For sale threads, chat threads, small question thread..

you really expect someone to go through 400+ threads?

4nmscle

Anyone with a desire to learn, yes.

And congrats on the 3 minute search..

And more like 400. Your a moron. Every thread I see your name in you are informed of your stupidity. Shall I dig up some to prove a point??

OrangeVirus1

you're.

ok my very first few threads here when I knew absolutely nothing about nissans AT ALL. .yeah I was.

congratulations bro

Matej

Nismotronic. Great price, great customer service, and very user-friendly.

Are you correcting my grammar??? Yea "congratulations bro" on your horrible sentence structure and improper use of punctuation. My god you dig a better hole than a shovel...

BTW, you still know nothing.

Matej, I have been researching the Ntronic and I am definitely impressed. Seems to be way more of a FWD brand for the most part.

OrangeVirus1

BTW you aint no genius either bro

Thank you. This place is a fucking graveyard of 5 year old threads with just enough information to not answer my questions.



Cool, I'll look into this as well.

Virus, stfu.

OP, honestly, I think you should just get a rom tune. I really don't think there is a need for the real time tune and squeezing every ounce out of a sub 400hp engine. The rom tune will work great, is very cost effective and if you change things up you can get a retune chip sent to you for a Franklin.

I use a JWT 700hp program rom tune on a 500+whp sr with a 62mm turbo and even I don't feel the need for the trouble of real time just yet. The MAF setup adapts well to weather changes as well as setup changes. Literally anything this side of a compression or injector change is taken care of by the MAF. Different turbo, more boost, different IC, different cams, anything you would want to upgrade doesn't require a trip to a dyno.

And there is no ball and chain keeping you here. If you feel it's such a shit house around here, feel free to find a new forum..

Nistuuuuuuuune.

Nistuuuuuuuuuuuuuuune. I eat that shit for breakfast. Every day. No milk.

4nmuscle you're trying too hard. Just because you see jaded ass premium members bitch all day about how lazy ass newbs are ruining zilvia doesn't mean you need to do it too. Although it does seem to be some sort of initiation ritual.

4nmscle

EDIT: Frank Jager is a fucking moron....

FourtyKid

Thank you, this is the info I needed. I didn't know the MAF adapted like that, cool.

you do not need to be giving tuning advice to anyone. jesus christ.

edit: too fucking late. don't listen to this asshole, the maf doesnt 'adapt' for shit. that guy's running a mismatched halfass tune and is asking for trouble all over.

FourtyKid

Ok, so he's wrong. Why Nistune over the others? That Nismotronic looks pretty awesome.

VERY versatile. Very simple and effective. Depending on where you live, summer to winter can cause some slight offsets with MAP tunes, granted Nistune uses a maf, the rom tunes are just so easy and SAFE. Until you start making crazy power there really isn't much reason for real time tuning to the ragged edge. A bad batch of gas and a hot summer day could turn into a nightmare. And all for what? MAYBE 30whp.. That is 30hp none the less, but it's just not worth the extra hassle to me. Just my opinion and of course everyone has one, but why even deal with sending your ecu off for a daughter board, sending it off for a base tune, driving to your tuner, paying him, then the actual tuning and right back you go if your setup changes.

With Enthalpy or JWT you just plug it up and go. As long as injectors stay the same you have nothing to worry about. Low boost, high boost, hot weather, cold weather, upgrades, you name it. And let me stress SAFE.
