Chris`I Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Sounds interesting. Be warned that due to the nature of the Zed ECU, it has a tendancy to tune out any gains that things like intake and exhaust offer. I wanted to get that out there so that if he does notice it offers no increase in BHP then you know why. The ECU is clever sod and only works within its own limits, which basically means if you increase flow, it just wont use it. The throttle is fly-by-wire and as such even if you give it full beans it wont open all the way Still, you can make it make a nice noise Andrew: I sent an email through a while ago to Phil. Its not urgent, but need it sorting as soon as he can once he's back. Dont rush him though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbon Coops Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 i understand the problems with these ecu's, i am from the 200sx and skyline scene so this battling for power is new!! As my Z is currently standard it 'should' (using should loosly there) be running to the lower end of its paramiters, so it 'should have some headroom for a little easier breathing. And after hearing lots of my friends systems i am pretty sure its gunna sound Again it is in the early days but how it has worked in the past is I take my car in and we look at all the options and dyno the car The system is then built from scratch using high quality stainless, i then take it away test it, report any faults etc and the system is adjusted until it is perfect then dyno'd my system will then be taken back off and my friend builds a jig to allow him to make more all exactly the same, making it a direct bolt on, of which ESR, if there is enough intrest will stock the system! I will say it again this is in the very early stages and not set in concrete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've seen, the parameters are tighter than a nunns chuff, so good luck getting anywhere with it. We're still waiting for the magical pill that can get us to have a car that rewards the mods. sounds good matey, looking forward to hearing more ............. +1 - always up for something a bit different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigphil Posted December 1, 2008 Author Share Posted December 1, 2008 Hi Guys, Andrew here, Phil's back, he is out to lunch at the moment, and will more than likely be finishing early as he is still not in tip top condition. If you need to speak to him, best time will be about half past 2 Hope he is ok for the xmas meet, he says he will be Thanks, Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
