Chris`I Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 The dont work on the Zed. You need to get either a good piggy back ECU or aftermarket ECU if you want to tune the Zed. You will only get about 10% gains though, and its a big outlay, in the region of £1.5k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon1618 Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 Wwwwow, in that case I am getting an induction kit from CS, does the engine need remapping afterwards or does it adapt or does it not matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin W Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Wwwwow, in that case I am getting an induction kit from CS, does the engine need remapping afterwards or does it adapt or does it not matter No it won't need mapping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beavis Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Wwwwow, in that case I am getting an induction kit from CS, does the engine need remapping afterwards or does it adapt or does it not matter No it won't need mapping But if you do fit an induction kit it is well worth resetting the ecu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plenum charger is the only mod that gives a little extra gain. I should know, I had mine on the dyno on Satuday and it got 230WHP (278 @ the crank), and thats with pop charger, plenum spacer and Nismo exhaust. It should be noted that the torque curve put all the Evos I went up with to shame, and the noises was awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beavis Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 and the noises was awesome Spoke with Mike yesterday (xstric9x) who followed me and said my nismo zorst sounded awsome as he followed me up the Horshoe pass, one thing we have both noted and certainly in my case if you take the zed out on a good run the nismo seems a lot louder at the end of the day than at the beginning He also says the same with his zorst, that when fully hot it sounds much louder.

Definately gets louder and guntier as it warms up. Even at tick over, mine was louder after the dyno run than when I fired her up at the start of the day. Very odd, but sounds good when you go for a good run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
givememorepower Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 You'll do well finding a tuning specialist in Yorkshire, I tried in vain as soon as I got my Z, but to no avail. Either cough up for a Haltech, or give up. I fitted a JWT to my car today, and even though it's supposed to add power, I have no extra at all , just a better noise up front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defo Dave, it sounded really nice I had the window down a quarter and could hear you no probs what so ever Did you hear mine just before we split off? If so what kind of tone was it?

Yes i did hear it Mike, it sounded very deep and menacing also looked ace with my headlights shining on your rear back box .

Hes also a very good driver which is nice as I can give him my car to drive and see what it sounds and looks like from a by standers view I think the Nismo sounds better from a bystanders view than in the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Martin and yes you would have been right but I found a link to resetting the ECU so wont ask hahaha. Thank you all for your advice it is very much appreciated. I have agreed a HKS induction kit from CS and NOISE would be good, must admit quite happy with the way she performs, was not embarrased or left for dead in Chester and no that is NOT a gauntlet that is being thrown down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
