Uprated/tuned Nissan Z32 300zx Twin Turbo ECU maps

Following the closure of SE Nissan/NissTek, I have purchased the rights to the ECU maps they developed for and sold to, their customers. Each one is the product of testing and development on different engine specifications and gave good results for those vehicles. A number of maps are available but I have identified ones that will be most suitable for the majority of road cars. The more specialised maps would need careful consideration and discussion to determine whether the car matches the specification of the cars that were originally used for the dyno development.

ECU Map One:

Available as a manual or automatic version. This map suits engines of original internal specification with minor modifications.

bullet

free flowing air filter

bullet

free flowing, un-restrictive exhaust

bullet

catalytic converters removed

bullet

raised boost pressure (absolute maximum of 1.2bar, 1.0bar recommended)

ECU Map Two:

Available as a manual or automatic version. This map suits engines of original internal specification with minor modifications.

bullet

free flowing air filter

bullet

catalytic converters removed

bullet

raised boost pressure (absolute maximum of 1.2bar, 1.0bar recommended)

bullet

This map has been modified to suit engines with a slightly restrictive exhaust (e.g. Mongoose), or other problems leading to detonation at higher rpm/boost.

ECU Map Three:

Suitable for engines with internal modifications (e.g. forged pistons with lower compression ratio – 8.1:1). Tested on a manual gearbox only.

bullet

555cc injectors

bullet

free flowing air filter

bullet

free flowing, un-restrictive exhaust

bullet

catalytic converters removed

bullet

raised boost pressure (absolute maximum of 1.2bar, 1.0bar recommended)

I ran ECU Map Two on my car and had the opportunity to do a back to back dyno test with a JWT chip with the following results. Due to variations in dynos the actual numbers are less important than the difference between the two runs, which as you can see, are significant.

Installation & Tuning

bullet

It is essential to select a map which most closely matches your engine specification. Optimum performance will be gained from the best match between map and engine, fitting a higher spec. map than the engine spec. will result in less performance and may result in engine damage.

bullet

No specific power claims are made as it will vary car by car, but judging from the comparison made with the JWT map, it could be expected to be equal or better.

bullet

The majority of the power gains are from raised boost, the fuelling and ignition settings in the map make it safer to run that increased boost.

bullet

Installation and use remains the risk and responsibility of the owner, all tuning steps should be checked to ensure no detonation is present and requires continuous monitoring of engine behaviour.

bullet

You should ensure that the car is in fine condition before embarking on any tuning.

bullet

Careful monitoring of boost pressure is essential. An accurate, after-market boost gauge should be installed or a boost controller with a built-in boost gauge.

bullet

Boost jets are not provided due to the variation between different cars. A 1.2mm jet may give 12psi on one car and 15psi on another.

bullet

All maps assume the base idle timing is set at the standard 15deg BTDC

General information & benefits

bullet

The maps were developed on standard UK unleaded fuel, giving a safety margin when running on super unleaded (eg. Shell Optimax). Note: this is not a compromise for either US or Japanese fuel. You should always use Optimax for best performance and safety

bullet

These maps are not based on JWT or any other tuners work. The base code was a late model Nissan map with all developments made from that point onwards.

bullet

This modification also removes the 112mph (180Kph) ECU based speed limiter on Japanese imports and 155mph speed limiter on UK cars.

bullet

Rev limit raised 200rpm

bullet

Better throttle response

bullet

Improved BHP and torque

 

bullet

The map will be supplied on a 256Kb 28 pin DIL EPROM with suitable static precautions

bullet

It is essential that appropriate anti-static precautions are taken during installation of these sensitive devices.

bullet

You should notify you insurer following a modification such as this

 

Various guides are available online that describe installation of boost controllers and bleed jets. Eg

If your ECU needs to be socketed that can be provided as an additional service, which can include Royal Mail “Next Day” return postage, or can be done whilst you wait if you are able to visit my house in Essex. Your original Nissan chip will be included, should you wish to return the car to standard. For further details please send an email using the link below.

 

The cost of each map is only £60 incl. postage

The cost to socket an ECU is £30 + return postage, which is currently £6.95 for Royal Mail 'Next Day' service.

 

Payment is possible via PayPal, cheque, bank transfer or plain old hard cash !
